Summary: This adds the `inputMode` prop to the TextInput component as requested on https://github.com/facebook/react-native/issues/34424, mapping web [inputMode types](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Global_attributes/inputmode) to equivalent [keyboardType](https://reactnative.dev/docs/textinput#keyboardtype) values. This PR also updates RNTester TextInputExample in order to facilitate the manual QA. ### Caveats ~~This only adds support to `text`, `decimal`, `numeric`, `tel`, `search`, `email`, and `url` types.~~ #### `inputMode="none"` **Currently mapped to `default` keyboard type.** The main problem with this input mode is that it's not supported natively neither on Android or iOS. Android `TextView` does accept `none` as `android:inputType` but that makes the text not editable, which wouldn't really solve our problem. `UITextInput` on iOS on the other hand doesn't even have something similar to avoid displaying the virtual keyboard. If we really want to add the support for `inputMode="none"` one interesting approach we could take is to do something similar to what WebKit has done (https://github.com/WebKit/WebKit/commit/3b5f0c8ecf9de23f79524ed02e290837ab8334cd). In order to achieve this behavior, they had to return a `UIView` with a bounds of `CGRectZero` as the inputView of the `WKContentView` when inputmode=none is present. ~~I guess the real question here should be, do we really want to add this? Or perhaps should we just map `inputMode="none"` to `keyboardType="default"`~~ Android docs: https://developer.android.com/reference/android/widget/TextView#attr_android:inputType iOS docs: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/uikit/uikeyboardtype?language=objc #### `inputMode="search"` on Android **Currently mapped to `default` keyboard type.** Android `TextView` does not offers any options like `UIKeyboardTypeWebSearch` on iOS to be used as `search` with `android:inputType` and that's probably the reason why `keyboardType="web-search"` is iOS only. I checked how this is handled on the browser on my Android device and it seems that Chrome just uses the default keyboard, maybe we should do the same? ### Open questions - ~~What should be done about `inputMode="none"`?~~ Add it and map it to `default` keyboard type. - ~~Which keyboard should we show on Android when `inputMode="search"`?~~ Use the `default` keyboard the same way Chrome does ## Changelog [General] [Added] - Add inputMode prop to TextInput component ## Test Plan 1. Open the RNTester app and navigate to the TextInput page 2. Test the `TextInput` component through the `Input modes` section https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/11707729/185691224-3042e828-a008-4bd0-bb3d-010a6a18dfd5.mov Pull Request resolved: https://github.com/facebook/react-native/pull/34460 Reviewed By: necolas Differential Revision: D38900724 Pulled By: cipolleschi fbshipit-source-id: 60d405ccdbfad588b272fbb6b220b64ffdfc4b14
React Native
Learn once, write anywhere:
Build mobile apps with React.
Getting Started · Learn the Basics · Showcase · Contribute · Community · Support
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 12.4 and Android 5.0 (API 21) 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 repo, @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.
