LIBRARY APPEARS ABANDONED

[bramski]

WARNING TO PEOPLE WHO TRY TO USE THIS LIBRARY

@n4kz has not replied to comments and pull requests for 1 year. This no longer builds on the current version of react native.

I don't suggest you use this library.

[Dr-Horv]

@bramski I agree. Have you found any alternative?

[bramski]

Rolling my own. My needs are simple; but this did look attractive.

FYI: to continue using this package until an alternative or maintainer is found, I've merged #251, #252 and #295 into my fork which now appears to be running without issues in React Native 0.63.2. You can use my fork directly as a git dependency in package.json:

dependencies: {
  "react-native-material-textfield": "https://github.com/TheLartians/react-native-material-textfield.git#147f3b92b24cb3404c3b4a0229b3da30b81e2c7e",
  [...]
}

Huge help, thanks @TheLartians

@TheLartians just pointing out that you have replaced Animated.Text.propStyles with ViewPropTypes and this causes warnings when trying to apply label styling. I think the Animated.Text.propStyles should be replaced by Text.propStyles, thats how I got rid of the warnings I was getting.

[TheLartians]

@j-monteiro thanks for the heads-up! I haven't encountered the error myself but have now replaced the propsStyles by also merging with #295, which now uses Text.propTypes.style. I've updated the commit on my comment above.

Thank you @TheLartians !

This fork also seems good: https://www.npmjs.com/package/@softmedialab/react-native-material-textfield

[povilasDadelo]

@dcangulo that library is messy some props do not match given documentation

[aforty]

Please @n4kz come deal with a handover of this library to the community, it's clear you don't want to deal with it.

I have also implemented @TheLartians fork in the mean time, found no issues using RN 0.63.5

[gabrieldonadel]

I would suggest just using rn-material-ui-textfield as this lib has not received any updates for over a year

npm install --save rn-material-ui-textfield

[adrianmui]

^^ am using rn-material-ui-textfield because it's been updated with 2-3 versions for the past 3 months. it's a fork from this lib

[craigwduckett]

I would suggest just using rn-material-ui-textfield as this lib has not received any updates for over a year

npm install --save rn-material-ui-textfield

We are using this library now and it now has types thanks to @types/rn-material-ui-textfield
