React-native-gifted-chat: Keyboard very slow!

[dmitryshelomanov]

rn - 0.55
chat 0.4.3

I quickly type and UI is very slow. Wtf ?
What kind of gesture did you write?

[dmitryshelomanov]

I'm thinking of writing my ui

[ahartzog]

Android presumably?

This is an issue in react native that is fixed in 0.56

But windows dev is broken in 0.56

Good luck!

[dmitryshelomanov]

@ahartzog 0.56 ? What is problem ?

[dmitryshelomanov]

@ahartzog this ? link

[ahartzog]

Yes that. But 0.56 has a regression where if you're doing development on a windows environment you can't do anything right now, so I'm just warning you of that.

[dmitryshelomanov]

@ahartzog How to be in 0,55?

[dmitryshelomanov]

upgrade ?

[dmitryshelomanov]

@bilalsyed001 With simple input all right. In this chat lots of odd code, props and etc.

[shaheem-khanzada]

@userbq201 remove all console before making a release build and then check

[dmitryshelomanov]

@shaheem-khanzada thereis already

[batuhansahan]

in node_modules/ react native gifted chat

find composer.js

at line 44 or 43
change the value with below

value={Platform.OS === 'ios' ? this.props.text : null}

[richeterre]

Based on the reactions, I expected this change to fix the issue, but instead it turned out that the input field would no longer get cleared after submitting a message. Did anyone else have this experience?

[jenni-divvito]

@richeterre - You're correct, if you are doing this you'll need another way to reset the text input.

For us, we add to the textInputProps the following: ref: textInput => this.textInput = textInput,
then in the onSend handler we do if (this.textInput) this.textInput.setNativeProps({text:''});

That said, this is hanging around from an earlier time and I know that these days it's better to set up refs using forwardRefs, so you might want to look them up and implement it that way instead.

@batuhansahan your solution works like a charm... Thanks :)
But In android how it is possible to set a default value of TextInput as it is initialized to null ?
