Click and hold to select text using a text component

Description

I want click-and-hold-to-select-text using a Text component and then i searched it and i found selectable property.It good works but it copy the entire text field.I want to selecting a subset of the text field for copying.Actually this question is asked on stackoverflow .Here is question on stackoverflow:http://stackoverflow.com/a/37119619/4596143

Reproduction Steps and Sample Code

I try this code block:

<Text
                        selectable={true}
                        style={styles.messageBody}>
                        {"text description"}
</Text>

This full of text ("text description") can copy not partially .I want to it like screenshot

Actual behaviour:

Expected behavior:

Solution

They are said that RN 0.39 adds support to copy the entire text field, but does not yet include support for selecting a subset of the text field for copying on stackoverflow .I wonder Text component include support for selecting a subset of the text field for copying on new versions for react native.If the property does not exist on new versions ,will the property for text integrate ?

Additional Information

• React Native version:^0.43
• Platform: IOS
• Development Operating System: macOS

Start with the React Native Text component's selectable behavior on iOS and reproduce the issue using the sample with selectable={true}. Compare the current whole-field copying with the expected partial text selection; done means users can click and hold to select and copy a subset of the Text content.
