Fix

Replace three duplicated Objective-C parsers with one private helper. Cache the immutable named-color map and invalid-hex character set with dispatch_once; retain the class method entrypoints.

Compatibility / breaking changes

No accepted-format, fallback-color or public API change. Invalid-color diagnostic prefixes become shared rather than class-specific. No frame-rate/latency claim.

Verification

Compiled all three original parsers and the new helper against the Simulator SDK; 50 inputs × 3 parsers = 150 actual UIColor comparisons with zero differences, including invalid inputs, shorthand, alpha and names. Both app iOS schemes build.

Combined review branch: 40 existing Jest tests across four suites, TypeScript, ESLint (three pre-existing inline-style warnings), Bob builds, web-entry graph validation and whitespace checks passed. No checked-in tests/specs were added or changed. Consumer integration passed both products’ Android Debug and iOS Simulator Debug builds, four production Metro bundles, 13 web targets and four browser-extension targets. The upstream example built for Android and iOS, exported for web, and its iOS home screen was launched and visually inspected. Physical-device, signed-release and Android runtime testing were not performed.

Closes #143

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Color properties now accept React Native color values across blur, liquid glass, and progressive blur components.
    • Progressive blur views now support standard React Native view properties.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Improved color conversion and fallback handling across supported components.
    • Fallback colors now apply consistently during initialization, updates, recycling, and when cleared.
    • Progressive blur child views now maintain the intended insertion order.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The change replaces native string color parsing with React Native ColorValue conversion. Fallback colors are applied during initialization, updates, and recycling. Android prop handlers now receive color integers.

Changes

ColorValue support

Layer / File(s) Summary
Color prop contracts
src/ReactNativeBlurViewNativeComponent.ts, src/ReactNativeLiquidGlassViewNativeComponent.ts, src/ReactNativeProgressiveBlurViewNativeComponent.ts, src/BlurView.tsx, src/ProgressiveBlurView.tsx
Color props now use ColorValue instead of defaulted string types.
iOS shared-color conversion
ios/ReactNativeBlurView.mm, ios/ReactNativeProgressiveBlurView.mm, ios/ReactNativeLiquidGlassView.mm
The views use RCTUIColorFromSharedColor, remove local parsers, apply fallback colors during lifecycle operations, and insert progressive blur children after the internal effect view.
Android color prop wiring
android/src/main/java/com/sbaiahmed1/reactnativeblur/*ViewManager.kt
The three Android prop handlers now declare customType = "Color" and accept nullable integer color values. Their method bodies remain no-ops.

Explanation

The title describes sharing and caching native color parsers, but the changeset removes the custom parsers and switches to React Native shared-color conversion. The title does not accurately summarize the implemented changes.

Full details: Linked Issues check

Explanation

Issue [#143] requires one private shared parser for the three views, retained colorFromString: compatibility wrappers, dispatch_once caches for the named-color table and invalid-character set, unchanged formats and fallback behavior, and shared-corpus simulator coverage. At the reviewed head, all three .mm files call RCTUIColorFromSharedColor; none retains colorFromString: or calls a shared parser. The reviewed files contain no dispatch_once cache for the required parser data. The TypeScript and native prop changes also replace string values and codegen defaults with ColorValue, so the existing color contract is not preserved. The summary reports no checked-in tests for the required helper and wrappers.

Resolution

Implement one private shared parser with the required dispatch_once caches. Keep each colorFromString: selector as a compatibility wrapper. Preserve the prior supported formats and fallback values. Add reviewable automated simulator coverage for the helper and all three wrappers using one valid and invalid corpus.

Full details: Out of Scope Changes check

Explanation

The PR changes more than parser sharing. It changes public TypeScript props from string to ColorValue, removes native codegen defaults, changes Android prop handlers to Color, changes fallback and prop-clearing behavior, adds recycle-state resets and batch updates, and changes Progressive Blur child insertion. These changes are not required by [#143] and conflict with its requirement to preserve the public color contract and fallback behavior.

Resolution

Limit this PR to the private shared parser, the three compatibility wrappers, immutable-data caches, and directly related tests. Move the ColorValue, Android prop, codegen-default, fallback, recycle, batch-update, and child-insertion changes to a separate issue and pull request.

Use the exported React header path.

The repository exports RCTConversions.h under React, not react. Case-sensitive header lookup can fail the iOS build. Change this import to <React/RCTConversions.h>.

Preserve clearColor for invalid non-empty colors.

The removed parser returned clearColor for supplied invalid colors. These ?: [UIColor whiteColor] expressions now map conversion failures to whiteColor. Keep whiteColor for unset or empty props, but preserve clearColor for non-empty invalid values.

Also applies to: 82-82, 111-111

…allbackColor

The spec change from string to ColorValue regenerates the Android manager
interfaces with Int? color parameters; update the three no-op setters to
the new signatures so the Kotlin module compiles.
