Viewproptypes will be removed from react native, along with all other proptypes. we recommend that you migrate away from proptypes and switch to a type system like typescript. if you need to continue using viewproptypes, migrate to the ‘deprecated-react-native-prop-types’ package.

Starting from React Native version X, the viewPropTypes module is being removed along with all other PropTypes. It is recommended to migrate away from PropTypes and switch to a type system like TypeScript for type checking and ensuring the correctness of your code.

If you still need to use viewPropTypes in your project, you can migrate to the deprecated-react-native-prop-types package. This package provides compatibility with the deprecated PropTypes system.

Let’s take an example to understand this better. Suppose you have a custom reusable Card component with some PropTypes defined using the soon-to-be-removed viewPropTypes:

    import React from 'react';
    import {'{'} View, Text, viewPropTypes } from 'react-native';

    const Card = ({ title, content }) => {
      return (
        <View style={'{'}...styles.card}>
          <Text style={'{'}...styles.title}>{title}</Text>
          <Text style={'{'}...styles.content}>{content}</Text>
        </View>
      );
    };

    Card.propTypes = {
      title: viewPropTypes.string,
      content: viewPropTypes.string
    };

    export default Card;
  

Instead of using viewPropTypes, it is recommended to switch to a type system like TypeScript to ensure type checking at compile-time. Here’s the same example using TypeScript:

    import React from 'react';
    import {'{'} View, Text } from 'react-native';

    interface CardProps {
      title: string;
      content: string;
    }

    const Card = ({ title, content }: CardProps) => {
      return (
        <View style={'{'}...styles.card}>
          <Text style={'{'}...styles.title}>{title}</Text>
          <Text style={'{'}...styles.content}>{content}</Text>
        </View>
      );
    };

    export default Card;
