define propTypes for compatibility

Hi,

a lot of react-native libraries use ReactNative.Text.propTypes.style or ReactNative.ViewPropTypes to define their own propTypes.

I know that propTypes are deprecated, but right now this causes a lot of “cannot read property style of undefined” errors with third party libraries.

My workaround is to monkey patch the prop types:

import * as ReactNative from 'react-native-web';
{
  const PropTypes = require('prop-types');
  ReactNative.Text.propTypes = { style: PropTypes.any };
  ReactNative.View.propTypes = { style: PropTypes.any };
  ReactNative.Image.propTypes = { style: PropTypes.any };
  ReactNative.ViewPropTypes = { style: PropTypes.any };
}

I wonder if it makes sense to have the propTypes still defined by react-native-web for better user experience or just wait until propTypes are removed from the third party libraries.

Cheers Mo

Would you mind sharing which libraries this is? I think that the correct course is to send PRs to them ☺️

Hey @mo22, I like your workaround. On which file are you adding this ?

import * as ReactNative from 'react-native-web';
{
 const PropTypes = require('prop-types');
 ReactNative.Text.propTypes = { style: PropTypes.any };
 ReactNative.View.propTypes = { style: PropTypes.any };
 ReactNative.Image.propTypes = { style: PropTypes.any };
 ReactNative.ViewPropTypes = { style: PropTypes.any };
}
