Valentin Shergin 7f1ed6848f Fabric: `convertRawProp` was extended to accept an optional default value
Summary:
During transforming raw prop (`rawProps[<prop>]`) to typed props (`MyProps.<prop>`) we can face three different cases:
 * `rawProps` collection has proper serialized value for the key. In this case, we have to set a new value of the typed prop converting value using `fromDynamic`.
 * `rawProps` collection does not have value for the key. In this case, we have to copy a value from source prop (`sourceValue`).
 * `rawProps` collection has `null` value for the key. This is the special case which means that the prop was removed from the particular component instance and we have to reset it to some *default* value (which is *not* the same as `sourceValue`). Now the default value of the `defaultValue` (sic!) argument is a default value of the type of the value (which may be different from logical default value).

We didn't handle the last case previously and this caused crashes (and unexpected behavior) because `fromDynamic` often cannot handle `null` value.

And yes, all this mean that we also have to update all `convertRawProp` call sites where logical default values are not equal to type-specific default values. This is a potential error-prone place, especially because now we have to specify logical default values in two places (in a prop declaration and in a parameterized constructor). And seems there is no way to avoid that without performance loss (because both of those places are basically constructors).

My hope is that codegen (where default values are also defined in JavaScript) will help with it eventually.

Learn once, write anywhere: Build mobile apps with React.

  • Build native mobile apps using JavaScript and React: React Native lets you build mobile apps using only JavaScript. It uses the same design as React, letting you compose a rich mobile UI from declarative components.
  • A React Native app is a real mobile app: With React Native, you don't build a "mobile web app", an "HTML5 app", or a "hybrid app". You build a real mobile app that's indistinguishable from an app built using Objective-C, Java, or Swift. React Native uses the same fundamental UI building blocks as regular iOS and Android apps. You just put those building blocks together using JavaScript and React.
  • Don't waste time recompiling: React Native lets you build your app faster. Instead of recompiling, you can reload your app instantly. With hot reloading, you can even run new code while retaining your application state. Give it a try - it's a magical experience.
  • Use native code when you need to: React Native combines smoothly with components written in Objective-C, Java, or Swift. It's simple to drop down to native code if you need to optimize a few aspects of your application. It's also easy to build part of your app in React Native, and part of your app using native code directly - that's how the Facebook app works.

The focus of React Native is on developer efficiency across all the platforms you care about - learn once, write anywhere. Facebook uses React Native in multiple production apps and will continue investing in React Native.

See the official React Native website for an introduction to React Native.

Supported operating systems are >= Android 4.1 (API 16) and >= iOS 8.0.


Getting Started

Follow the Getting Started guide. The recommended way to install React Native depends on your project. Here you can find short guides for the most common scenarios:


Documentation

The websites documentation is divided into multiple sections.

Another great way to learn more about the components and APIs included with React Native is to read their source. Look under the Libraries/Components directory for components like ScrollView and TextInput, for example. The RNTester example is also here to demonstrate some of the ways to use these components. From the source you can get an accurate understanding of each components behavior and API.

The React Native documentation only discusses the components, APIs and topics specific to React Native (React on iOS and Android). For further documentation on the React API that is shared between React Native and React DOM, refer to the React documentation.


Upgrading

React Native is under active development. See the guide on upgrading React Native to keep your project up-to-date.
