Description
Changes the button implementation of the native
GestureHandlerButtoncomponent, not to re-export the button component. Instead, it provides a "sandwich" implementation based ondisplay: contents.The issues we had with the styling of the buttons in the past stemmed from it extending
ViewGroupinstead ofReactViewGroup. This cannot be changed due to the difference in handling ofonTouchEvent. We experimented with wrapping the button with aViewin the past, but properly handling layout turned out to be quite a challenge. Hopefully, with the addition ofdisplay: contents, this will be easier now.This PR changes the structure of the button to be:
RNGestureHandlerButtonWrapperNativeComponentViewButtonComponentThe styles passed from the user are split into two categories:
Those affecting the layout need to be set on the button itself, while visual changes need to be set on the View wrapping it. Exceptions are:
zIndex,transform, andtransformOrigin, which need to be on the View.zIndexbecause the View is being rendered in the hierarchy at the level the button would be expected, and transforms to properly calculate touch coordinate transforms.Why not just
ButtonComponent?We need a
Viewcomponent as its parent to handle all styles that React Native supports properly.Why not just
ButtonComponentwrapped withView?In order for the view to always match the layout of the button, we need to set it at the shadow node level. Shadow nodes only have references to their children, not their parents. To have access to the layout of the button and the ability to copy it to the view wrapping it, there needs to be one more node as the parent of that subtree. That node is responsible for making sure that the size and positioning of the View match the Button.
The native components for the wrapper serve no purpose, since it's being rendered with
display: contents, but RN doesn't know that - there needs to be something it can link to.Test plan
