Nested Text with onPress / TouchableOpacity Bug

Hey there. I found an issue when rendering nested Text elements. It's almost the exact same as this ticket: https://github.com/facebook/react-native/issues/1030

I was able to get it to sort of work. I had to add an onPress to the Text component.

Problems:

• TypeScript says there isn't an onPress on Text elements. But it does in fact work. This should probably be fixed in the type definitons.
• Not possible to use TouchableOpacity, so it doesn't feel good when pressing on these items.

When using TouchableOpacity like this:

<Text>
  <Text>first part</Text>
  <TouchableOpacity><Text>Second part</Text></TouchableOpacity>
</Text>

Second part doesn't get rendered at all.

Before you suggest using a <View> around the <Text> instead, please look at the referenced issue. When you do that, the text runs off screen, or wraps weirdly.

TLDR; I need to add a touchable opacity inside a nested Text component. Our api returns text in blocks, the RN app needs to parse it and render an array of text elements together with different styling.

React Native version:

0.61.4

Inizia riproducendo l’esempio annidato di Text e TouchableOpacity dall’issue, quindi leggi l’issue di riferimento #1030 per comprendere il comportamento previsto dell’andata a capo del testo. Il lavoro è completato quando il testo touchable annidato viene renderizzato correttamente, la pressione fornisce il feedback previsto e TypeScript accetta l’uso supportato di Text onPress.
