Kevin Lacker 072ef0a0d4 More Resources doc, updating Support doc and quickstart too
Summary:
TLDR even more docs changes

So I created a More Resources doc that aggregates the high-quality-but-off-site stuff. Let's try to put more outlinks there. Also I removed the stuff on Support that was not support, and some misc changes to clean stuff up.
Closes https://github.com/facebook/react-native/pull/8329

Direct text-based user input is a foundation for many apps. Writing a post or comment on a page is a canonical example of this. TextInput is a basic component that allows the user to enter text.

This example creates a simple TextInput box with the string Type something here as the placeholder when the TextInput is empty.

import React from 'react';
import { AppRegistry, Text, TextInput, View } from 'react-native';

const AwesomeProject = () => {
  return (
    <View style={{paddingTop: 22}}>
      <TextInput
        style={{
          height: 40,
          margin: 5,
          paddingLeft: 10,
          borderColor: 'black',
          borderWidth: 1
        }}
        placeholder="Type something here"
      />
    </View>
  );
}

// App registration and rendering
AppRegistry.registerComponent('AwesomeProject', () => AwesomeProject);
