Enable input Accessory View for RCTTextField
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Some keyboard types does not have buttons correspondent for keyReturnType such as Next, Done. It is observable on IPhone for numeric keyboard types. That prevents traversing forms with "number" input fields and impacts end-user experience.

The improvement allows application for adding extra buttons via inputAccessoryView.
Because RCTText is not a project exposed to React application calling all methods to add a handler is done using selectors.

Here is a code fragment which has an example on how to achieve it:
Within application:
facebook#1 Create a keyboard Handle
 KeyboardAccessory keyboardHandler = ^UIView *(UITextField *textField) {
    ReactTextAdapter *kAdapter = [[ReactTextAdapter alloc] init:textField];
    return [kAdapter getInputAccessory];
  };

2. Register an adapter

  Class clz = NSClassFromString(@"RCTTextField");

  SEL selector = NSSelectorFromString(@"registerForKeyboardType:handler:");
  if ([clz respondsToSelector:selector]) {
  [   clz performSelector:selector withObject:[NSNumber numberWithInt:UIKeyboardTypeNumberPad] withObject:keyboardHandler];
  }

facebook#3 Example of Keyboard Adapter

                     target:self action:nil];

    // since there is a next field, add a NEXT button to the picker
