FieldElement

The imperative methods of the native components that can be registered with a field store.

Definition

• FieldElement
  • focus () => void
  • blur (() => void) | undefined
  • isFocused (() => boolean) | undefined

Explanation

React Native has no DOM elements. Instead of a union of HTML elements, FieldElement is a structural subset of the imperative methods that React Native host component instances provide. This way the refs of TextInput and other focusable native components are accepted without depending on the react-native package.

Only focus is required, as it is what focus calls to focus a field. isFocused is implemented by TextInput and is used to verify that an element actually received focus, so that elements which cannot be focused are skipped.
