v4.5.0

What's Changed

• Added a nestedScrollEnabled prop, defaulting to false (#85). Previously the widget hardcoded nestedScrollEnabled={true} on the underlying WebView, which on Android claimed vertical drag gestures and prevented a parent ScrollView/FlatList from scrolling, even when the auto-height widget had only a pixel or two of internal overflow.

Behavior change

If you embed a fixed-height widget that needs to scroll internally (for example live chat inside a scrollable screen), pass nestedScrollEnabled={true} to keep the old behavior. Note that Android WebView never hands the gesture back to the parent at the scroll boundary; that is an upstream platform limitation.

Full Changelog: v4.2.3...v4.5.0

v4.2.3

Patch release.

Removes the keyboard-avoidance behavior introduced in 4.2.2. That approach (shrinking the WebView to lift a focused field above the keyboard) is fundamentally incompatible with embedding the auto-height widget inside a host ScrollView/feed - it could render the widget blank, capture the feed's scroll, and mis-position fields. The widget returns to its stable pre-4.2.x behavior in any layout. The disableKeyboardAvoidance prop (added in 4.2.2) is removed.

Keeps a height-tracking improvement: the widget updates to the reported content height whenever it changes, instead of a throttle that could stick at the initial placeholder height.

Note: a comment field low on the screen may again sit behind the on-screen keyboard. Robust keyboard avoidance is not achievable for an auto-height WebView embedded in a feed; handle it at the host level (e.g. full-screen hosting) if needed.

v4.2.2

Patch release.

• Keyboard avoidance: when a comment field inside the widget is focused, the WebView now shrinks to the space above the on-screen keyboard and scrolls the focused field into view, so it's no longer hidden behind the keyboard. On by default; pass disableKeyboardAvoidance to opt out.

Example app (not shipped in the package): fixed the blank widget in the showcase (ScrollView host), a list key warning, the oversized tab bar, and dark-mode demo.

v4.2.0

• Add renderLoading and renderError props for customizing loading/error UI
• Add onOpenProfile callback support
• Stabilize instanceId across re-renders (bug fix — no more flapping when parent re-renders)

• Remove internal lodash dependency
• Tighten internal types (no more any casts in event handler)
