dragPlane

PropTypes.shape({
planePoint:PropTypes.arrayOf(PropTypes.number),
planeNormal:PropTypes.arrayOf(PropTypes.number),
maxDistance:PropTypes.number
})

When a drag type of "FixedToPlane" is given, dragging is limited to a user defined plane. The dragging behavior is then configured by this property (specified by a point on the plane and its normal vector). You can also limit the maximum distance the dragged object is allowed to travel away from the camera/controller (useful for situations where the user can drag an object towards infinity).

dragType

PropTypes.oneOf(["FixedDistance", "FixedToWorld"])

Determines the behavior of drag if onDrag is specified.

The default value is "FixedDistance".

extrusionDepth

PropTypes.number

Set the extrusion depth of the text. Set this to 0 to render 2D Text (e.g. bitmap text). If extrusionDepth is greater than 0, then the Text will be rendered in 3D: it will be vectorized with sides of length extrusionDepth. See above for more details.

height

PropTypes.number

The width of the the text in 3D world space. If not in a ViroFlexView the default is set to 1.

ignoreEventHandling

PropTypes.bool

When set to true, this control will ignore events and not prevent controls behind it from receiving event callbacks.

The default value is false.

lightReceivingBitMask

PropTypes.number

A bit mask that is bitwise and-ed (&) with each light's influenceBitMask. If the result is > 0, then the light will illuminate this object. For more information please see the Lighting and Materials Guide.

maxLines

PropTypes.number

The maximum number of lines the text should take. The text will automatically be truncated if it exceeds the maxLines specified.

onClick

React.PropTypes.func

Called when an object has been clicked.

Example code:

_onClick(position, source)  {
    // user has clicked the object
}

The position parameter represents the position in world coordinates on the object where the click occurred.

For the mapping of sources to controller inputs, see the Events section.

onClickState

React.PropTypes.func

Called for each click state an object goes through as it is clicked. Supported click states and their values are the following:

Example code:

_onClickState(stateValue, position, source)  {
    if(stateValue == 1) {
        // Click Down
    } else if(stateValue == 2) {
        // Click Up
    } else if(stateValue == 3) { 
        // Clicked
    }
}

For the mapping of sources to controller inputs, see the Events section.

onDrag

React.PropTypes.func

Called when the view is currently being dragged. The dragToPos parameter provides the current 3D location of the dragged object.

Example code:

_onDrag(dragToPos, source)  {
    // dragtoPos[0]: x position
    // dragtoPos[1]: y position
    // dragtoPos[2]: z position

        callback: React.PropTypes.func.isRequired,
        timeToFuse: PropTypes.number
      }),
      React.PropTypes.func,
])

As shown above, onFuse takes one of the types - either a callback, or a dictionary with a callback and duration.

It is called after the user hovers onto and remains hovered on the control for a certain duration of time, as indicated in timeToFuse that represents the duration of time in milliseconds.

While hovering, the reticle will display a count down animation while fusing towards timeToFuse.

Note that timeToFuse defaults to 2000ms.

For example:

_onFuse(source){
   // User has hovered over object for timeToFuse milliseconds
}

For the mapping of sources to controller inputs, see the Events section.

onHover

React.PropTypes.func

Called when the user hovers on or off the control.

For example:

_onHover(isHovering, position, source)  {
    if(isHovering) {
        // user is hovering over the box
    } else {
        // user is no longer hovering over the box
    }
}

For the mapping of sources to controller inputs, see the Events section.

onPinch

React.PropTypes.func

Called when the user performs a pinch gesture on the control. When the pinch starts, the scale factor is set to 1 is relative to the points of the two touch points.

For example:

  _onPinch(pinchState, scaleFactor, source) {
       if(pinchState == 3) {
      // update scale of obj by multiplying by scaleFactor  when pinch ends.
        return;
       }
     //set scale using native props to reflect pinch.
  }

pinchState can be the following values:

This event is only available in AR.

onRotate

React.PropTypes.func

Called when the user performs a rotation touch gesture on the control. Rotation factor is returned in degrees.

When setting rotation, the rotation should be relative to it's current rotation, not set to the absolute value of the given rotationFactor.

For example:

    _onRotate(rotateState, rotationFactor, source) {

      if (rotateState == 3) {
        //set to current rotation - rotationFactor.
        return;

     //update rotation using setNativeProps
    },

rotateState can be the following values:

This event is only available in AR.

onScroll

React.PropTypes.func

Called when the user performs a scroll action, while hovering on the control.

For example:

_onScroll(scrollPos, source)  {
    // scrollPos[0]: x scroll position from 0.0 to 1.0. 
    // scrollPos[1]: y scroll position from 0.0 to 1.0.
}

For the mapping of sources to controller inputs, see the Events section.

    } else if(state == 2) {
        // Swiped down
    } else if(state == 3) { 
       // Swiped left
    } else if(state == 4) { 
       // Swiped right
    }
}

Called when the user performs a touch action, while hovering on the control. Provides the touch state type, and the x/y coordinate at which this touch event has occurred.

For example:

_onTouch(state, touchPos, source)  {
   var touchX = touchPos[0];
   var touchY = touchPos[1];
    if(state == 1) {
        // Touch Down
    } else if(state == 2) {

onTransformUpdate

PropTypes.func

A function that is invoked when the component moves and provides an array of numbers representing the component's position in world coordinates.

outerStroke

PropTypes.shape({
type: PropTypes.oneOf(['None', 'Outline', 'DropShadow']),
width: PropTypes.number,
color: ColorPropType
})

Set an optional outer stroke type, width, and color to use for this text. The outer stroke can be used to render an outline surrounding the text or drop shadow extending to the bottom right of the text. These are often used to make the text more legible over busy backgrounds. The width of the outer stroke is given in pixels: a width of 2 displays a fairly standard outline or drop shadow.

Note that outer strokes do not apply to 3D text (text with extrusion depth greater than zero).

To remove the outer stroke, set the outerStroke to 'None'. In this case the outerStrokeWidth and outerStrokeColor are be ignored.

physicsBody

The style properties define the typeface, style, size, and weight of the font. See 'Style Props' below.

Style properties also determine the position and scale of the component within a ViroFlexView. Please see the UI Controls & Flexbox guide and Styles reference for more information.

text

PropTypes.string

The text that should be displayed.

textAlign

PropTypes.oneOf(['left', 'right', 'center'])

textLineBreakMode

PropTypes.oneOf(['wordwrap','charwrap','justify','none'])

The line break mode to use for text wrapping. We process line breaks against the width of the text.

Set to wordwrap to introduce line breaks only at word boundaries, whenever the next word overruns the width.

Set to charwrap to introduce line breaks whenever the next character overruns the width. This mode may break words in half across lines.

Set to justify to introduce breaks at word boundaries, and add variable internal spacing between words, at the optimal points in the text to reduce the 'raggedness' of the text edges.

transformBehaviors

PropTypes.arrayOf(PropTypes.string)

An array of transform constraints that affect the transform of the object. For example, putting the value "billboard" will ensure the box is facing the user as the user rotates their head on any axis. This is useful for icons or text where you'd like the box to always face the user at a particular rotation.

Allowed values(values are case sensitive):

width

PropTypes.number

The width of the the text in 3D world space. If not in a ViroFlexView the default is set to 1.

viroTag

PropTypes.string

A tag given to other components when their physics body collides with this component's physics body. Refer to physics for more information.

visible

PropTypes.bool

False if the text should be hidden. By default the text is visible and this value is true.

renderingOrder

PropTypes.number

This determines the order in which this Node is rendered relative to other Nodes. Nodes with greater rendering orders are rendered last. The default rendering order is zero. For example, setting a Node's rendering order to -1 will cause the Node to be rendered before all Nodes with rendering orders greater than or equal to 0.

fontSize

PropTypes.number

Set the point size of the font to use when rendering this ViroText.

fontStyle

PropTypes.string

Set the style of the font. Supported values are normal and italic.

Note: not all fonts support all styles. If a style is not supported, Viro will fallback to using the default style.

fontWeight

PropTypes.string

Set the weight of the font. Supported values are:
'normal', 'bold', '100', '200', '300', '400', '500', '600', '700', '800', '900', where:

'100' --> Ultra Light
'200' --> Thin
'300' --> Light
'400' --> Normal
'500' --> Medium
'600' --> Semibold
'700' --> Bold
'800' --> Heavy
'900' --> Extra Black

Note: not all fonts support all weights. If a weight is not supported, Viro will instead render the nearest supported weight. Commonly supported weights are '400' (normal), and '700' (bold).
