Gesture Handler 3 Migration

What it does

This skill facilitates the migration of React Native projects from versions prior to gesture-handler 3. It automates several steps involved in updating dependencies and modifying code to ensure compatibility with the newer version. This includes handling changes in API usage, configuration files, and potential breaking changes within the library itself. The goal is a smoother upgrade process for developers.

When to use it

• You're upgrading a React Native project that previously used an older version of react-native-gesture-handler.
• Your project is experiencing issues related to gesture handling after attempting a manual upgrade.
• You want to automate the tedious and error-prone process of migrating configuration files and code snippets.
• You're encountering build errors or runtime crashes due to incompatibilities between your existing codebase and react-native-gesture-handler version 3+.

Key capabilities

• Automated dependency updates
• Configuration file modification
• Code snippet replacement for API changes
• Handles breaking changes introduced in gesture-handler v3.

Example prompts

• "Migrate my React Native project to gesture handler version 3."
• "Run the migration script for react-native-gesture-handler."
• "Update my project's configuration files for gesture handler 3 compatibility."

Tips & gotchas

• Ensure you have a clean working copy of your repository before initiating the migration process. This allows easy rollback if issues arise.
• Review all changes made by the skill carefully after completion to ensure everything functions as expected within your application’s specific context.
