React Native TextInput component have functionality to capture text input from a user
by using the soft and hardware keyboards but lacks the ability to restrict copy & paste options
as well as allwing pasting different files formats copied from other apps, like images & videos from
the Photos gallery app.
PasteInput is a TextInput replacement that solves this issues.
npm i --save-exact @mattermost/react-native-paste-input| Android | iOS |

import React, { useRef } from 'react';
import PasteInput, { PastedFile, PasteInputRef } from "@mattermost/react-native-paste-input";
const YourTextInput = () => {
const inputRef = useRef<PasteInputRef>(null);
const onPaste = (
error: string | null | undefined,
files: Array<PastedFile>
) => {
console.log('ERROR', error);
console.log('PASTED FILES', files);
};
return (
<PasteInput
ref={inputRef}
disableCopyPaste={false}
onPaste={onPaste}
multiline={true}
blurOnSubmit={false}
underlineColorAndroid="transparent"
keyboardType="default"
disableFullscreenUI={true}
textContentType="none"
autoCompleteType="off"
/>
);
}All properties of the TextInput component plus:
Indicates if the menu items for cut, copy, paste and share should not be present in the context menu.
Callback that is called when the pasting files into the text input. Note: On Android this callback is also called when selecting and image / gif from the soft keyboard.
