Bobril Native

What is this?

This is reimagination of React Native in context of Bobril. It does not use anything from React Native except CSSLayout. It uses identical naming of basic elements Text and View.

Differences to Bobril

b.addRoot method can create only fullscreen nodes. Usage of b.style is mandatory for any styling. There are no classnames, but b.styleDef works (without pseudo classes). Lifecycle methods postInitDom, postUpdateDom, postUpdateDomEverytime are not called at all. Lifecycle method destroy has just 2 parameters (ctx and me). There is no b.getDomNode, it would have no use.

Compatibility

Built application is compatible with Android 4.4 (API 19) or better. Reason is that 4.4 is first version of Android with Chrome (modern fast browser) inside Webview.
