Permission to convert ThemeProvider.js into functional component using react hook

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please Describe. ThemeProvider.js file inside config folder uses Class component. It can be extracted into functional component using react new hook useState.

Describe the solution you’d like

import React, { useState } from 'react';

const ThemeProvider = ({ theme }) => {
  const [theme,setTheme] = useState({ ...colors, ...theme});

  const updateTheme = updates => {
    setTheme({
        ...theme,
        ...updates,
    });
  };

  const getTheme = () => theme;
   return (
      <ThemeContext.Provider
        value={{
          theme: theme,
          updateTheme: updateTheme,
        }}
      >
        {this.props.children}
      </ThemeContext.Provider>
   );
}
export default ThemeProvider;

I would like to create a pull request extracting ThemeProvider but useState hook to use, React dependency need to be updated. in package.json file currently react is using 16.3.1 I want to know whether I can do this, and if yes can I update react dependency to 16.8+ and React native will be updated as a result.

Additional context All it will do is create smaller class file and remove the dependency of using Javascript class

Thanks finally managed to update React to 16.8.0 and ran npm test and all test are passing.

My second question: in package.json there are other scripts like test:update, test:ci, test:watch do I need to run that too, if yes how do I run those test?

"scripts": {
    ...
    "test": "jest",
    "test:update": "jest -u",
    "test:ci": "jest --runInBand",
    "test:watch": "jest --watch",
    ...
  },

Oh when you clone the project and npm install. You can run the npm test script which will run the unit tests for the components. See https://react-native-training.github.io/react-native-elements/docs/testing.html
