The recommendation from the Chrome team is to use 'touch-action' to
disable scrolling (via touch modality) when passive event listeners are
in use.
Close#563
Problem:
Although 'Touchable' supports basic keyboard usage, it doesn't support
delays or interaction via the Space key.
Solution:
Extend the 'Touchable' mixin to better support keyboard interactions.
All touchable callbacks and delays are now supported when interacted
with via a keyboard's Enter and Space keys (as would be expected of
native 'button' elements). However, events are not normalized to mimic
touch events.
Minor upstream changes to the Touchables in React Native are also
included.
Problems:
HTML's native <button> tag doesn't support flex styling in all browsers,
causing layout bugs. And buttons or links created by "createDOMElement"
(without an accessibility role) do not have the correct props.
Solution:
The "button" role is rendered to a "div[role=button]" that is focusable
and responds to the same keyboard events as a native button. A native
button can still be rendered using "createDOMElement".
Make "createDOMProps" aware of the component context to ensure style
resets and other props are correctly applied when an accessibility role
is not defined.
Additionally:
This patch also adds a new "label" role to support accessible forms.
It maps to a native label element.
Close#241
Problem:
The content of style sheets was being set as a child of 'style', which
causes React to escape the content. This meant that the pointer-events
selectors were broken (">" became ">") and pointer-events were
disabled for the entire server-rendered document.
Solution:
Use 'dangerouslySetInnerHTML' to avoid the CSS text being escaped.
Fix#546
Include modifier keys in the 'nativeEvent'. This allows keyboard
shortcuts such as "Shift+Enter" to be implemented for submiting text
input content when the modality is keyboard + mouse rather than touch.
This changes the return value of 'getApplication' so that the
application element and stylesheets are all available as React elements.
Also changes StyleSheet's 'renderToString' to 'getStyleSheets'.
Fix#504
Fixes dozens of Flow errors; adds type annotations; marks more files for
Flow type checking. Fixes a bug in 'AppState'.
15 Flow errors remaining. Several React Native files are still not type
checked (e.g., PanResponder, Touchables)
