Naming: ViewWithoutOverflow

[Haraldson]

Seeing this when inspecting the view hierarchy is just really confusing, be it if you’re on iOS or Android. Why was it named this way, when the whole point of this module is to enable overflow?

there are some images and explanations here https://medium.com/entria/solving-view-overflow-in-android-reactnative-f961752a75cd

maybe we can add those to readme.md

I understand what this module does, but the naming is confusing. What are you trying to convey with the name ViewWithoutOverflow? What does it mean that it is without overflow?

naming things is a hard problem

what would be a good name?

[Haraldson]

In my code base, I name it like this;

import OverflowableView from 'react-native-view-overflow'

This doesn’t change how it appears when inspecting of course, but it makes a lot more sense to me anyway. For iOS, you could simply exit early and return View as-is, perhaps?

Overflowable looks good, we gonna think about it
