Support for Camera Roll

[JoeStanton]

A comment in the image component references support for local assets that are part of the bundle, but also other places such as the camera roll.

react-native/Libraries/Components/Image/Image.ios.js

Line 30 in 6e04a3c

* images from local disk, such as the camera roll. Example usage:

Does this mean I can feed in URL's of the scheme assets-library://, or is this not supported? As the component currently reports that the image is not found. If it isn't, would I need to implement it in RCTConvert similarly to Gif support?

eg.

  <Image style={styles.icon} source={ix('assets-library://asset/asset.JPG?id=x&ext=JPG')}  />

This is supported in our internal version. It's on the list of things that we need to clean up and port to the open source version.

We rushed the announcement and have a lot of things to get out of the doors. Please keep up with us for a few weeks :)

Actually it is source={{uri: 'assets-library://...'}}, ix is a marker for static assets

Awesome, just checking 👍

@vjeux I have a catch here. If I load a GIF from asset library with a path like: assets-library://asset....&ext=GIF, then I just end up getting the first frame but not the whole GIF. How do I get it as a GIF image so I can display it as a playing GIF with the Image tag.
