Summary: This adds a new resize mode for iOS 'repeat' that tiles the image over it's frame. This allow to easily create a view with a repeating background pattern which there is no way to do at the moment without including a bunch of different sized assets. I'm not 100% sure it should be a resizeMode or a separate prop but I went with resizeMode since it made more sense to me and the are not really any use cases where we'd want to use this with another resizeMode other than 'stretch'. **Test plan** Tested mainly by adding a UIExplorer example, also tested that changing the resizeMode prop from and to 'repeat' worked properly.  I'd like to implement this on Android too but it is a bit trickier since Fresco's ImageView doesn't support image tiling and would require submitting a PR there too :( Closes https://github.com/facebook/react-native/pull/7968 Differential Revision: D3469119 Pulled By: javache fbshipit-source-id: ab9dbfe448a5b0771dbf0c41fcceeb366210f583
UIExplorer
The UIExplorer is a sample app that showcases React Native views and modules.
Running this app
Before running the app, make sure you ran:
git clone https://github.com/facebook/react-native.git
cd react-native
npm install
Running on iOS
Mac OS and Xcode are required.
- Open
Examples/UIExplorer/UIExplorer.xcodeprojin Xcode - Hit the Run button
See Running on device if you want to use a physical device.
Running on Android
You'll need to have all the prerequisites (SDK, NDK) for Building React Native installed.
Start an Android emulator (Genymotion is recommended).
cd react-native
./gradlew :Examples:UIExplorer:android:app:installDebug
./packager/packager.sh
Note: Building for the first time can take a while.
Open the UIExplorer app in your emulator.
See Running on Device in case you want to use a physical device.
Running with Buck
Follow the same setup as running with gradle.
Install Buck from here.
Run the following commands from the react-native folder:
./gradlew :ReactAndroid:packageReactNdkLibsForBuck
buck fetch uiexplorer
buck install -r uiexplorer
./packager/packager.sh
Note: The native libs are still built using gradle. Full build with buck is coming soon(tm).
Built from source
Building the app on both iOS and Android means building the React Native framework from source. This way you're running the latest native and JS code the way you see it in your clone of the github repo.
This is different from apps created using react-native init which have a dependency on a specific version of React Native JS and native code, declared in a package.json file (and build.gradle for Android apps).
