Bug Report: children type missing when using components import with Strict ABI #259
results in a TypeScript error because children is not included in the type definition.
Additionally, Strict ABI updates the types of all React Native components in the project itself, but it does not update the types inside the react-native-css library, which creates a mismatch between project components and library components.
Error message
app/index.tsx:12:6 - error TS2322: Type '{ children: Element; style: { flex: number; alignItems: "center"; padding: number; }; className: string; }' is not assignable to type 'IntrinsicAttributes & ViewProps & { className?: string | undefined; }'.
Property 'children' does not exist on type 'IntrinsicAttributes & ViewProps & { className?: string | undefined; }'.
12 <ExpoView style={styles.container} className="bg-red-200">
~~~~~~~~
ExpoView (and other components from react-native-css/components) should behave like normal React Native components extended with { className?: string }, meaning they should support children out of the box.
Actual behavior
Types are missing children.
Project components get updated types from Strict ABI, but the library components keep outdated types, leading to incompatibility.
Additional context
The issue happens only with Strict/Standard ABI enabled.
Without Strict ABI, the app compiles successfully.
Using styled(RNView) directly works fine.
Not sure if the fundamental fix should come from react-native-css directly or through additional adjustments in Strict ABI support.
