Samuel Susla 7dda5512ff introduce opt out mechanism for View Culling (#51657)
Summary:
Pull Request resolved: https://github.com/facebook/react-native/pull/51657

changelog: [internal]

Introduce a new ShadowNodeTraits: `Unstable_uncullableView` and `Unstable_uncullableTrace`. As the name suggests, this is not stable API yet.

When a shadow node sets this trait, it will be opted out of view culling together with its ancestors all the way to the root.

The trait is propagated to its parent in 4 different places:
1. When node is first created.
2. When node is cloned.
3. When child is appended.
4. When child is replaced.

we can safely do it only in those places because React constructs nodes from bottom up. We are leveraging this implementation detail here but if that changes in the future, a traversal will be required.

Alternative solution considered here was a traversal of shadow tree during commit phase to propagate `Unstable_uncullable` trait. This could be done in a separate traversal or as part of layout phase where layout information is copied out of Yoga tree. Leveraging the fact that React is cloning bottom up makes the implementation simpler.

If React changes its cloning approach in the future, this will be caught by tests.

React Native brings React's declarative UI framework to iOS and Android. With React Native, you use native UI controls and have full access to the native platform.

  • Declarative. React makes it painless to create interactive UIs. Declarative views make your code more predictable and easier to debug.
  • Component-Based. Build encapsulated components that manage their state, then compose them to make complex UIs.
  • Developer Velocity. See local changes in seconds. Changes to JavaScript code can be live reloaded without rebuilding the native app.
  • Portability. Reuse code across iOS, Android, and other platforms.

React Native is developed and supported by many companies and individual core contributors. Find out more in our ecosystem overview.

📋 Requirements

React Native apps may target iOS 15.1 and Android 7.0 (API 24) or newer. You may use Windows, macOS, or Linux as your development operating system, though building and running iOS apps is limited to macOS. Tools like Expo can be used to work around this.

🎉 Building your first React Native app

Follow the Getting Started guide. The recommended way to install React Native depends on your project. Here you can find short guides for the most common scenarios:

📖 Documentation

The full documentation for React Native can be found on our website.

The React Native documentation discusses components, APIs, and topics that are specific to React Native. For further documentation on the React API that is shared between React Native and React DOM, refer to the React documentation.

The source for the React Native documentation and website is hosted on a separate repository, @facebook/react-native-website.

🚀 Upgrading

Upgrading to new versions of React Native may give you access to more APIs, views, developer tools, and other goodies. See the Upgrading Guide for instructions.

React Native releases are discussed in this discussion repo.
