Description

Attempted to use a library that uses View.propTypes. Got a warning: Warning: View.propTypes has been deprecated and will be removed in a future version of ReactNative. Use ViewPropTypes instead yet looking up ViewPropTypes yields nothing on the official site and Google only contains results about issues on other projects.

Reproduction Steps and Sample Code

List all the steps required to reproduce the issue you're reporting. These steps should be clear and concise.

An example of your code is REQUIRED

export default class SomeClass extends React.PureComponent {
  static propTypes = {
    style: View.propTypes.style,
  }
  // ...
}

Documentation for View is currently linking to /viewproptypes.html#props which just forwards to "Getting Started" instead.

Solution

Provide at documentation page for ViewPropTypes that list how to use it. I eventually found (by browsing the RN code base) that you can import ViewPropTypes from 'react-native' package like this:

import {Text, View, ViewPropTypes} from 'react-native';
