Flex Layout - minWidth property is always used even if more space is available in RN 0.42

[brianfoody]

Description

If I have a View with flexDirection row and three children with flex 1 I would expect them to fill up all the space of the parent. However if I add a minWidth property to the child views the minWidth is used and leftOver

Reproduction

https://github.com/brianfoody/react-native-min-width-issue

None of the red view should be displayed as the children should take up all available space

Solution

Sorry I'm not familiar with the underlying layout engine. I'm guessing this is related to the switch to Yoga and possibly percentage width support.

Additional Information

• React Native version:0.42.0
• Platform: iOs
• Operating System: MacOS
• Dev tools: xCode 8.2.1, Simulator 10 and iPhone 6s 10.2
