Summary

Add "RCTSelectableText" to the list of component names recognized as being inside a text element, alongside "RCTText".

React Native's new text stack, tries to optimize and allows differentiating between a custom TextView, with lower level control, that can reuse the work performed during Fabric/Yoga layout, and a native TextView, used for fidelity. On Android at least, the only place we've needed native TextView for fidelity/native UX has been support for selectable text, which has many unique UI interactions.

How did you test this change?

When I patch this in, alongside react/react-native#55552, we no longer see warnings when we render text inside of RCTSelectableText component.

Add "RCTSelectableText" to the list of component names recognized as
being inside a text element, alongside "RCTText". When React Facsimile
is enabled, the React Native Text component uses different native
components (RCTText vs RCTSelectableText), and both need to be
recognized to correctly determine the text context.

Initial support for selectable text with enablePreparedTextLayout
73d98f8
Summary:
enablePreparedTextLayout replaces ReactTextView (a real TextView) with PreparedLayoutTextView (a ViewGroup that draws a pre-computed Layout). PreparedLayoutTextView does not support native text selection, so selectable text was broken when the flag was on (T222052152).
This diff adds support for selectable text by routing it through ReactTextView when enablePreparedTextLayout is enabled. A new JS component NativeSelectableText resolves to native name RCTSelectableText when the flag is on, or falls back to RCTText when it is off. Text.js uses NativeSelectableText whenever text is selectable, and a new SelectableTextViewManager (which extends ReactTextViewManager) is registered as RCTSelectableText in all ReactPackage sites.
ReactTextViewManager.updateState() is also updated to handle ReferenceStateWrapper holding PreparedLayout, so that it can process state delivered through the PreparedLayout path.
Note that this change relies on react/react#35780 to avoid warnings from React

React Native's new text stack, tries to optimize and allows
differentiating between a custom TextView, with lower level control,
that can reuse the work performed during Fabric/Yoga layout, and a
native TextView, used for fidelity. On Android at least, the only place
we've needed native TextView for fidelity/native UX has been support for
`selectable` text, which has many unique UI interactions.
## How did you test this change?

Summary:
Pull Request resolved: react#55552
enablePreparedTextLayout replaces ReactTextView (a real TextView) with PreparedLayoutTextView (a ViewGroup that draws a pre-computed Layout). PreparedLayoutTextView does not support native text selection, so selectable text was broken when the flag was on (T222052152).
This diff adds support for selectable text by routing it through ReactTextView when enablePreparedTextLayout is enabled. A new JS component NativeSelectableText resolves to native name RCTSelectableText when the flag is on, or falls back to RCTText when it is off. Text.js uses NativeSelectableText whenever text is selectable, and a new SelectableTextViewManager (which extends ReactTextViewManager) is registered as RCTSelectableText in all ReactPackage sites.
ReactTextViewManager.updateState() is also updated to handle ReferenceStateWrapper holding PreparedLayout, so that it can process state delivered through the PreparedLayout path.

[Native] Add RCTSelectableText as a recognized Text component (#35780)
bad7f52
## Summary
Add "RCTSelectableText" to the list of component names recognized as
being inside a text element, alongside "RCTText".
React Native's new text stack, tries to optimize and allows
differentiating between a custom TextView, with lower level control,
that can reuse the work performed during Fabric/Yoga layout, and a
native TextView, used for fidelity. On Android at least, the only place
we've needed native TextView for fidelity/native UX has been support for
`selectable` text, which has many unique UI interactions.
## How did you test this change?
When I patch this in, alongside
react/react-native#55552, we no longer see
warnings when we render text inside of RCTSelectableText component.

[Native] Add RCTSelectableText as a recognized Text component
85c8e85
Add "RCTSelectableText" to the list of component names recognized as
being inside a text element, alongside "RCTText". When React Facsimile
is enabled, the React Native Text component uses different native
components (RCTText vs RCTSelectableText), and both need to be
recognized to correctly determine the text context.

Summary
Add "RCTSelectableText" to the list of component names recognized as being inside a text element, alongside "RCTText".
React Native's new text stack, tries to optimize and allows differentiating between a custom TextView, with lower level control, that can reuse the work performed during Fabric/Yoga layout, and a native TextView, used for fidelity. On Android at least, the only place we've needed native TextView for fidelity/native UX has been support for selectable text, which has many unique UI interactions.
How did you test this change?
When I patch this in, alongside react/react-native#55552, we no longer see warnings when we render text inside of RCTSelectableText component.

Add "RCTSelectableText" to the list of component names recognized as
being inside a text element, alongside "RCTText". When React Facsimile
is enabled, the React Native Text component uses different native
components (RCTText vs RCTSelectableText), and both need to be
recognized to correctly determine the text context.

Initial support for selectable text with enablePreparedTextLayout
73d98f8
Summary:
enablePreparedTextLayout replaces ReactTextView (a real TextView) with PreparedLayoutTextView (a ViewGroup that draws a pre-computed Layout). PreparedLayoutTextView does not support native text selection, so selectable text was broken when the flag was on (T222052152).
This diff adds support for selectable text by routing it through ReactTextView when enablePreparedTextLayout is enabled. A new JS component NativeSelectableText resolves to native name RCTSelectableText when the flag is on, or falls back to RCTText when it is off. Text.js uses NativeSelectableText whenever text is selectable, and a new SelectableTextViewManager (which extends ReactTextViewManager) is registered as RCTSelectableText in all ReactPackage sites.
ReactTextViewManager.updateState() is also updated to handle ReferenceStateWrapper holding PreparedLayout, so that it can process state delivered through the PreparedLayout path.
Note that this change relies on react/react#35780 to avoid warnings from React

enablePreparedTextLayout replaces ReactTextView (a real TextView) with PreparedLayoutTextView (a ViewGroup that draws a pre-computed Layout). PreparedLayoutTextView does not support native text selection, so selectable text was broken when the flag was on (T222052152).
This diff adds support for selectable text by routing it through ReactTextView when enablePreparedTextLayout is enabled. A new JS component NativeSelectableText resolves to native name RCTSelectableText when the flag is on, or falls back to RCTText when it is off. Text.js uses NativeSelectableText whenever text is selectable, and a new SelectableTextViewManager (which extends ReactTextViewManager) is registered as RCTSelectableText in all ReactPackage sites.
ReactTextViewManager.updateState() is also updated to handle ReferenceStateWrapper holding PreparedLayout, so that it can process state delivered through the PreparedLayout path.
Note that this change relies on react/react#35780 to avoid warnings from React

[Native] Add RCTSelectableText as a recognized Text component (#35780)
bad7f52
## Summary
Add "RCTSelectableText" to the list of component names recognized as
being inside a text element, alongside "RCTText".
React Native's new text stack, tries to optimize and allows
differentiating between a custom TextView, with lower level control,
that can reuse the work performed during Fabric/Yoga layout, and a
native TextView, used for fidelity. On Android at least, the only place
we've needed native TextView for fidelity/native UX has been support for
`selectable` text, which has many unique UI interactions.
## How did you test this change?
When I patch this in, alongside
react/react-native#55552, we no longer see
warnings when we render text inside of RCTSelectableText component.

[Native] Add RCTSelectableText as a recognized Text component
85c8e85
Add "RCTSelectableText" to the list of component names recognized as
being inside a text element, alongside "RCTText". When React Facsimile
is enabled, the React Native Text component uses different native
components (RCTText vs RCTSelectableText), and both need to be
recognized to correctly determine the text context.

Summary
Add "RCTSelectableText" to the list of component names recognized as being inside a text element, alongside "RCTText".
React Native's new text stack, tries to optimize and allows differentiating between a custom TextView, with lower level control, that can reuse the work performed during Fabric/Yoga layout, and a native TextView, used for fidelity. On Android at least, the only place we've needed native TextView for fidelity/native UX has been support for selectable text, which has many unique UI interactions.
How did you test this change?
When I patch this in, alongside react/react-native#55552, we no longer see warnings when we render text inside of RCTSelectableText component.

[Native] Add RCTSelectableText as a recognized Text component
85c8e85
Add "RCTSelectableText" to the list of component names recognized as
being inside a text element, alongside "RCTText". When React Facsimile
is enabled, the React Native Text component uses different native
components (RCTText vs RCTSelectableText), and both need to be
recognized to correctly determine the text context.

Initial support for selectable text with enablePreparedTextLayout
73d98f8
Summary:
enablePreparedTextLayout replaces ReactTextView (a real TextView) with PreparedLayoutTextView (a ViewGroup that draws a pre-computed Layout). PreparedLayoutTextView does not support native text selection, so selectable text was broken when the flag was on (T222052152).
This diff adds support for selectable text by routing it through ReactTextView when enablePreparedTextLayout is enabled. A new JS component NativeSelectableText resolves to native name RCTSelectableText when the flag is on, or falls back to RCTText when it is off. Text.js uses NativeSelectableText whenever text is selectable, and a new SelectableTextViewManager (which extends ReactTextViewManager) is registered as RCTSelectableText in all ReactPackage sites.
ReactTextViewManager.updateState() is also updated to handle ReferenceStateWrapper holding PreparedLayout, so that it can process state delivered through the PreparedLayout path.
Note that this change relies on react/react#35780 to avoid warnings from React

[Native] Add RCTSelectableText as a recognized Text component (#35780)
bad7f52
## Summary
Add "RCTSelectableText" to the list of component names recognized as
being inside a text element, alongside "RCTText".
React Native's new text stack, tries to optimize and allows
differentiating between a custom TextView, with lower level control,
that can reuse the work performed during Fabric/Yoga layout, and a
native TextView, used for fidelity. On Android at least, the only place
we've needed native TextView for fidelity/native UX has been support for
`selectable` text, which has many unique UI interactions.
## How did you test this change?
When I patch this in, alongside
react/react-native#55552, we no longer see
warnings when we render text inside of RCTSelectableText component.

0aa8f4d
…act#55552)
Summary:
Pull Request resolved: react#55552
enablePreparedTextLayout replaces ReactTextView (a real TextView) with PreparedLayoutTextView (a ViewGroup that draws a pre-computed Layout). PreparedLayoutTextView does not support native text selection, so selectable text was broken when the flag was on (T222052152).
This diff adds support for selectable text by routing it through ReactTextView when enablePreparedTextLayout is enabled. A new JS component NativeSelectableText resolves to native name RCTSelectableText when the flag is on, or falls back to RCTText when it is off. Text.js uses NativeSelectableText whenever text is selectable, and a new SelectableTextViewManager (which extends ReactTextViewManager) is registered as RCTSelectableText in all ReactPackage sites.
ReactTextViewManager.updateState() is also updated to handle ReferenceStateWrapper holding PreparedLayout, so that it can process state delivered through the PreparedLayout path.
Note that this change relies on react/react#35780 to avoid warnings from React

[Native] Add RCTSelectableText as a recognized Text component (#35780)
bad7f52
## Summary
Add "RCTSelectableText" to the list of component names recognized as
being inside a text element, alongside "RCTText".
React Native's new text stack, tries to optimize and allows
differentiating between a custom TextView, with lower level control,
that can reuse the work performed during Fabric/Yoga layout, and a
native TextView, used for fidelity. On Android at least, the only place
we've needed native TextView for fidelity/native UX has been support for
`selectable` text, which has many unique UI interactions.
## How did you test this change?
When I patch this in, alongside
react/react-native#55552, we no longer see
warnings when we render text inside of RCTSelectableText component.
