Export types for every component like "TextInputProps"

Hello,

in current version of react-native-paper i can not extend from TextInputProps in my custom component.

Current behaviour

No export in typescript/types.d.ts for Props definitions

Expected behaviour

export of props definitions like “TextInputProps”

Code sample

// this is not a working example - only to view, what i mean :)
import React from 'react;
import { TextInput, --> TextInputProps <-- } from 'react-native-paper';

type MyCustomInputProps = TextInputProps & {
  // ...mycustomprops
  errorMessage?: string;
}

export function MyCustomInput({errorMessage, ...inputProps}: MyCustomInputProps): JSX.Element {
  return (
    <>
      <TextInput {...inputProps} />
      <HelperText type="error" visible={!!errorMessage}>{errorMessage}</HelperText>
    </>
  )
}

// File typescript/types.d.ts
...
export { default as TextInput, TextInputProps } from './components/TextInput/TextInput';
...

Found a solution, that works for me.

Just use this import: import { TextInputProps } from 'react-native-paper/lib/typescript/components/TextInput/TextInput';

Yes, this issue still exists with the latest version, because the types are missing in the build directory as described above 😉
