[0.16] Things we should cherry-pick to 0.16

[mkonicek]

0.16.0-rc has been published to npm. Here are the things we should get into 0.16.0:

• Make imports work: https://gist.github.com/ehd/49cb2465df9da6b39710, ffea779
• Need a fix for Chrome debugging? 0.16 can't debug in chrome #4418. Update: @skevy and @mkonicek can't repro, likely fixed in c73809d
• Add the Android Dialog module
• Add the Android Pull-to-refresh view: 37f8134 (originally PullToRefreshLayoutAndroid, renamed in cad4686)
• Add Android WebView
• Android view shadows: b65f1f2
• If there's bandwidth: Exporting default class that extends a base class won't work due to Babel's T2694
• Potentially "Update touch handling to properly handle transformed Views": c929e15
• For-of support: 5dc40af
• Support for ES6 modules in Babel plugins dff8f53

We should eventually also figure out what's up with react-native bundle: #3948 (have little context). Update, fixed in 0.16.0-rc in 9a64f17. Thank you @ide!

@mkonicek where was the regression on the imports issue?

[mkonicek]

@skevy It was somewhere in the big upgrade to Babel 6. Added a note here: https://github.com/facebook/react-native/blob/master/breaking-changes.md

[ide]

We should also put out a warning about decorators if Babel support doesn't land in time. Any project with decorators in babelrc must wait for https://phabricator.babeljs.io/T2645 before upgrading to 0.16.

[skevy]

@ide 👍 I use decorators everywhere...as do you I think :)

[mkonicek]

Good point about decorators! Updated https://github.com/facebook/react-native/blob/master/breaking-changes.md

I had to migrate my projects to move away from decorators. I love decorators, but there is this bug with Babel 6, and Flow doesn't support decorators either :(

We should also cherry-pick this - #4298

It's a fairly small fix for the annoyance where the Switch gets cut off in Android.

Adding a note about the babelHelpers.interopRequireDefault is not a function error being caused by "Make imports work" because it is nearly impossible to discover this issue through a GitHub search or Googling it. I only found this due to a Twitter search of all places.

[satya164]

@dlindahl That commit fixes the issue, not cause it.

[dlindahl]

@satya164 👍 My comment is just a bit of SEO so that others can find this issue if they encounter the babelHelpers.interopRequireDefault is not a function error like I did.

[satya164]

@dlindahl Nice. The wording can confuse them though. Would be great if you can reword it.

[dlindahl]

Re-word my comment?

[satya164]

@dlindahl Yeah, to make it clear that that commit fixes the issue.

[skevy]

@mkonicek looks like #T2694 is fixed in Babel.

[362228416]

I also encountered such a problem, how to solve

[satya164]

We should also cherry pick c929e15

[mkonicek]

@satya164 Added it to the summary above.

[mkonicek]

Has anyone else seen Chrome debugging not working? Just tried and works for me in 0.16.0-rc: #4418

[satya164]

@mkonicek Thanks :D

[mkonicek]

0.16 is out, closing.

[mkonicek]

Working on Dialogs.

[skevy]

Question, on Babel's issue tracker, T2694 is closed. Looks like it was release in Babel 6.2.2.

I noticed that it wasn't checked off here...was it not fixed?

Android WebView?
