General
Thanks to all who use and contribute to react-native-elements. This release is a polish update, a set of smaller changes and fixes on the journey to our 1.0 release!
Breaking Changes/Deprecations
No breaking changes! Phew...
Col, Row, Grid, SideMenu, Tabs, Tab, and SwipeDeck have been deprecated. React Native Elements serves to be the one complete UI package for react native apps. However, if there are libraries out there that do a much better job for some of our components, then we feel that we should point you to those libraries. Deprecated components still work as usual, however, we'll show you a message when you use them so you know they'll be removed in a future release.
Col, Row, and Grid were beginner abstractions we made over flex box. We're now encouraging you to learn flex box as it'll make you a much better react native developer 💯
SideMenu, Tabs, and Tab are navigational components but they weren't full navigation solutions. React Navigation is a full navigation library that has support for Drawers(SideMenu), Tabs, Modals and even Stacks. We definitely recommend checking it out.
SwipeDeck has been moved into its own repo so that development can be done easier.
