container that supports layout with flexbox, style, some touch handling, and
accessibility controls, and is designed to be nested inside other views and
to have 0 to many children of any type. <code>View</code> maps directly to the native
view equivalent on whatever platform React is running on, whether that is a
<code>UIView</code>, <code>&lt;div&gt;</code>, <code>android.view</code>, etc.  This example creates a <code>View</code> that
wraps two colored boxes and custom component in a row with padding.</p><div class="prism language-javascript">&lt;View style<span class="token operator">=</span><span class="token punctuation">{</span><span class="token punctuation">{</span>flexDirection<span class="token punctuation">:</span> <span class="token string">'row'</span><span class="token punctuation">,</span> height<span class="token punctuation">:</span> <span class="token number">100</span><span class="token punctuation">,</span> padding<span class="token punctuation">:</span> <span class="token number">20</span><span class="token punctuation">}</span><span class="token punctuation">}</span><span class="token operator">&gt;</span>

already deviating from the spec by adding additional modes, we opt to not
include <code>pointerEvents</code> on <code>style</code>. On some platforms, we would need to
implement it as a <code>className</code> anyways. Using <code>style</code> or not is an
implementation detail of the platform.</p></div></div><div class="prop"><h4 class="propTitle"><a class="anchor" name="removeclippedsubviews"></a>removeClippedSubviews <span class="propType">bool</span> <a class="hash-link" href="undefined#removeclippedsubviews">#</a></h4><div><p>This is a special performance property exposed by RCTView and is useful

   default (recommended).

in order to preserve 100% correct colors and blending behavior. The default
(false) falls back to drawing the component and its children with an alpha
applied to the paint used to draw each element instead of rendering the full
component offscreen and compositing it back with an alpha value. This default
may be noticeable and undesired in the case where the View you are setting
an opacity on has multiple overlapping elements (e.g. multiple overlapping
Views, or text and a background).</p><p>Rendering offscreen to preserve correct alpha behavior is extremely
expensive and hard to debug for non-native developers, which is why it is
not turned on by default. If you do need to enable this property for an
animation, consider combining it with renderToHardwareTextureAndroid if the
view <strong>contents</strong> are static (i.e. it doesn't need to be redrawn each frame).
If that property is enabled, this View will be rendered off-screen once,
saved in a hardware texture, and then composited onto the screen with an alpha
each frame without having to switch rendering targets on the GPU.</p></div></div><div class="prop"><h4 class="propTitle"><a class="anchor" name="rendertohardwaretextureandroid"></a><span class="platform">android</span>renderToHardwareTextureAndroid <span class="propType">bool</span> <a class="hash-link" href="undefined#rendertohardwaretextureandroid">#</a></h4><div><p>Whether this view should render itself (and all of its children) into a
single hardware texture on the GPU.</p><p>On Android, this is useful for animations and interactions that only
modify opacity, rotation, translation, and/or scale: in those cases, the
view doesn't have to be redrawn and display lists don't need to be
re-executed. The texture can just be re-used and re-composited with
different parameters. The downside is that this can use up limited video
memory, so this prop should be set back to false at the end of the
interaction/animation.</p></div></div><div class="prop"><h4 class="propTitle"><a class="anchor" name="accessibilitytraits"></a><span class="platform">ios</span>accessibilityTraits <span class="propType">AccessibilityTraits, [AccessibilityTraits]</span> <a class="hash-link" href="undefined#accessibilitytraits">#</a></h4><div><p>Provides additional traits to screen reader.

modify this component's dimensions nor its children; for example, when
translating the position of a static view, rasterization allows the
renderer to reuse a cached bitmap of a static view and quickly composite
it during each frame.</p><p>Rasterization incurs an off-screen drawing pass and the bitmap consumes
memory. Test and measure when using this property.</p></div></div></div></div><div><table width="100%"><tbody><tr><td><h3><a class="anchor" name="examples"></a>Examples <a class="hash-link" href="undefined#examples">#</a></h3></td><td style="text-align:right;"><a target="_blank" href="https://github.com/facebook/react-native/blob/master/Examples/UIExplorer/ViewExample.js">Edit on GitHub</a></td></tr></tbody></table><div class="prism language-javascript"><span class="token string">'use strict'</span><span class="token punctuation">;</span>
