Color wheel misbehaves when placed in flexbox View
If I create a ColorWheel component as a child of a flexbox View component, like so:
<View style={{display: "flex", flexDirection: "column", justifyContent: "flex-start"}}>
<Text>Alpha</Text>
<Text>Beta</Text>
<Text>Gamma</Text>
<ColorWheel
initialColor="#ee0000"
onColorChange={color => console.log({color})}
onColorChangeComplete={color => onChange(color)}
style={{width: Dimensions.get('window').width}}
thumbStyle={{ height: 30, width: 30, borderRadius: 30}}
/>
</View>
the color wheel's height and width are set to zero -- only the thumb slider remains visible:

By changing line 224 of ColorWheel.js from flex: 1, to display: flex,, the color wheel is properly sized and positioned in the flexbox:

Let me know if this change fixes any issues or if I'm using the component wrong. Thanks in advance!
flex:1 has to do with the view itself. display:flex has to do with its children. Though I find it odd that this change was necessary. passing styles into the ColorWheel component's style attribute, passing display:flex there would have worked without editing the library internally.
Have you noticed your change causing any issues when the component isnt in a flex container?
