TomSwift 8621d4b797 iOS textTransform style support
Summary:
Issue [#2088](https://github.com/facebook/react-native/issues/2088).

The basic desire is to have a declarative mechanism to transform text content to uppercase or lowercase or titlecase ("capitalized").

My test plan involves having added a test-case to the RNTester app within the `<Text>` component area.   I then manually verified that the rendered content met my expectation.

Here is the markup that exercises my enhancement:

```
<View>
  <Text style={{ textTransform: 'uppercase'}}>
    This text should be uppercased.
  </Text>
  <Text style={{ textTransform: 'lowercase'}}>
    This TEXT SHOULD be lowercased.
  </Text>
  <Text style={{ textTransform: 'capitalize'}}>
    This text should be CAPITALIZED.
  </Text>
  <Text style={{ textTransform: 'capitalize'}}>
    Mixed:{' '}
    <Text style={{ textTransform: 'uppercase'}}>
      uppercase{' '}
    </Text>
    <Text style={{ textTransform: 'lowercase'}}>
      LoWeRcAsE{' '}
    </Text>
    <Text style={{ textTransform: 'capitalize'}}>
      capitalize each word
    </Text>
  </Text>
</View>
```

And here is a screenshot of the result:

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 iOS with CocoaPods

Similar to above, you can build the app via Xcode with help of CocoaPods.

  • Install CocoaPods
  • Run cd RNTester; pod install
  • Open the generated RNTesterPods.xcworkspace (this is not checked in). Do not open RNTesterPods.xcodeproj directly.

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).
