AKAV (ActualKeyboardAvoidingView)

Because https://reactnative.dev/docs/keyboardavoidingview isn't enough (we still use it though)

The Problem:

Keyboard placement in React Native has been an inconvience for me and for many other developers. And simply follolowing the docs isn't quite ideal.

The Solution:

A universal view where the skelenton of the page is defined, and action buttons are well positioned, regardless where the keyboard is.

Preview:

Keyboard Shown	Keyboard Hidden

import AKAV from '@ajxb/akav'

const RenderSubmitButton = () => {
	return <Button type={'primary'} title={'Login'} onPress={handleLogin}/> } offset={120} pl={10} pr={10} testID={'loginSubmitButton'}/>
}

<AKAV submitButton={<RenderSubmitButton/>}
	<MyLogo/>
	<MyEmailInputField/>
	<MyPasswordInputField/>
</AKAV/>
