Does the React Native Pell Rich Editor support the QuickType (predictive text) bar on iOS? I am using the above library in the component below. Works great, except the QuickType bar is missing from the keyboard.
Because the rich editor is using a WebView component, as opposed to any TextInput, is this just a cost of using the Pell Rich Editor library, or is there a prop I haven’t found in my reading that will enable the quick type bar? Are there any other React Native rich text editors which do support the QuickType input?
<SafeAreaView>
<ScrollView style={styles.outerContainer}>
<RichEditor
maxLength={maxLength}
disabled={false}
editorStyle={styles.richEditor}
ref={richTextRef}
placeholder={isNote ? "Add your note..." : "Add an explanation here…"}
onChange={handleEditorChange}
initialContentHTML={text}
multiline
scrollEnabled
sentry-label={sentryLabel}
/>
</ScrollView>
<RichToolbar
editor={richTextRef}
actions={[
actions.setBold,
actions.setItalic,
actions.setUnderline,
actions.setStrikethrough,
actions.insertBulletsList,
actions.insertOrderedList,
actions.checkboxList,
actions.indent,
actions.undo,
]}
style={styles.toolbar}
/>
<HelperText
type={showErrorInsteadOfInfo ? "error" : "info"}
testID={`${testID}-remaining-characters`}
>
{text ? maxLength - text?.length : maxLength} characters remaining
</HelperText>
</SafeAreaView>
Other text inputs include the QuickType bar on the iOS keyboard. The Pell Rich Editor does not. Experimenting with props and wrapping in different components has not change this, so I suspect it is built in. Can anyone confirm or correct this? And if confirmed, are there other rich text options? Pell seemed to be the best available currently.
