onTouchStart, onTouchEnd and onTouchMove: Undocumented Features or Deprecated Props?

[gsklee]

I've come across numerous references to these supposedly present props on the View component but couldn't find any reference to them in the official doc site nor within the changelog from here. Are these deprecated props or features waiting to be documented?

@gsklee afaik, it is simply an undocumented feature. I am not aware of them being deprecated or anything.

They're from an upcoming feature in React Native's "Fabric" architecture - an implementation of W3C touch events. They don't work in stable react native.

You can have a look at the code here:
