Textfield password alias not working

We had a password text field defined as so:

const PasswordField = MKTextField
  .textfieldWithFloatingLabel()
  .withPassword(true)
  .withPlaceholder('Password:')
  .withStyle(styles.textfieldWithFloatingLabel)
  .withFloatingLabelFont({fontSize: 10, fontStyle: 'italic', fontWeight: '200'})
  .withTintColor(MKColor.Red)
  .build();

After upgrading to r-n .30 from .24, it was no longer hiding the password characters. We did a workaround by specifying the actual proptype name on textfield secureTextEntry and the characters are now masked.

const PasswordField = MKTextField
  .textfieldWithFloatingLabel()
  //works with correct property name, not with alias
  .withSecureTextEntry(true)
  .withPlaceholder('Password:')
  .withStyle(styles.textfieldWithFloatingLabel)
  .withFloatingLabelFont({fontSize: 10, fontStyle: 'italic', fontWeight: '200'})
  .withTintColor(MKColor.Red)
  .build();

I just tested to see if the value alias in textfield would work and it is also not working.

I was going to work on PR for this, but I honestly don’t think these provide any real value. IMHO just changing the docs would be better. It keeps the builder props inline with r-n props and you don’t have to make any changes if they change property names.

use <MKTextField … password={true} /> works
