onChange gets called with an empty array about react-native-tag-input HOT 9 CLOSED

Even i am facing the same issue and its only for IOS.

from react-native-tag-input.

Which version of RN? >= 0.54?

Dupe of this? #55

from react-native-tag-input.

0.55 on iOS.

from react-native-tag-input.

There is a bug in recent versions of RN where Backspace gets called incorrectly when the TextInput is cleared, so it doesn't return in the 'if' check below and then gets pop'd. And I think another bug where the value wasn't getting set right.

if (this.props.text !== '' || event.nativeEvent.key !== 'Backspace') {
      return;
}
const tags = [...this.props.value];
tags.pop();

There are PR's up that fix it, but who knows when it'll make it out to release. Have a branch off of 0.55.4 with the 2 patches applied that fixed the issues for me, if useful to anyone.

Thanks for researching this bug @nol13! It looks like there are two issues, yeah?

• Backspace issue, fixed by this PR. Am trying to bother the right people to see if we can merge that one.
• Text filtering for Chinese and other languages are broken, fixed by either this PR, or this PR. I would like to get some clarity on which of these should be merged.

Ya two issues, need both patches to get normal behavior. Not really sure of/qualified to speak about the relative merit of 19087 vs. 18456, as far as I can tell both work, just need one or the other.

The backspace patch is needed to fix the issue where you can only add one tag. The other fixes a bunch of weird behavior where the js and native values can get out of sync or something after adding a few tags, and events stop firing, backspace will delete tags even if there is still text, etc.

@nol13 any workaround for expo users?

from react-native-tag-input.

i think downgrading to expo 25 would do it, if that's a possibility.

(and saw backspace fix merged, thanks for moving that along!)

Edit: is fixed in 0.57 in case anyone comes across this still

from react-native-tag-input.

Expo 25 is deprecated. Still getting this issue in the latest version of expo.
