Valentin Shergin 2716f53220 The New <Text> on iOS Summary: This is a complete rewrite of RCTText, the part of React Native which manages Text and TextInput components. Key points: * It's understandable now. It follows a simple architectural pattern, and it's easy to debug and iterate. Text flow layout is a first-class citizen in React Native layout system now, not just a wired special case. It also brings entirely new possibilities such as nested interleaving <Text> and <View> components. * All <Text>-specific APIs were removed from UIManager and co (it's about ~16 public methods which were used exclusively only by <Text>). * It relies on new Yoga measurement/cloning API and on-dirty handler. So, it removes built-in dirty propagation subsystem from RN completely. * It caches string fragments properly and granularly on a per-node basis which makes updating text-containing components more performant. * It does not instantiate UIView for virtual components which reduces memory utilization. * It drastically improves <TextInput> capabilities (e.g. rich text inside single line <TextInput> is now supported).

RNTester

The RNTester showcases React Native views and modules.

Running this app

Before running the app, make sure you ran:

git clone https://github.com/facebook/react-native.git
cd react-native
npm install

Running on iOS

Mac OS and Xcode are required.

Open RNTester/RNTester.xcodeproj in Xcode
Hit the Run button

See Running on device if you want to use a physical device.

Running on Android

You'll need to have all the prerequisites (SDK, NDK) for Building React Native installed.

Start an Android emulator (Genymotion is recommended).

cd react-native
./gradlew :RNTester:android:app:installDebug
./scripts/packager.sh

Note: Building for the first time can take a while.

Open the RNTester app in your emulator.

See Running on Device in case you want to use a physical device.

Running with Buck

Follow the same setup as running with gradle.

Install Buck from here.

Run the following commands from the react-native folder:

./gradlew :ReactAndroid:packageReactNdkLibsForBuck
buck fetch rntester
buck install -r rntester
./scripts/packager.sh

Note: The native libs are still built using gradle. Full build with buck is coming soon(tm).

Built from source

Building the app on both iOS and Android means building the React Native framework from source. This way you're running the latest native and JS code the way you see it in your clone of the github repo.

This is different from apps created using react-native init which have a dependency on a specific version of React Native JS and native code, declared in a package.json file (and build.gradle for Android apps).
