What/Why?
Fixes: #233
Add
onCaretRectChangecallback and imperativegetCaretRect()command toEnrichedMarkdownInput.When the input is used with
scrollEnabled={false}inside an outerScrollView(e.g., a post composer), there's no built-in way to know where the caret is in pixel coordinates —onChangeSelectiononly provides character offsets, which aren't enough to determine screen position with word-wrapped lines.onCaretRectChangefires whenever the caret moves (typing, selection change, content reflow) and returns{ x, y, width, height }in dp relative to the input's top-left corner. The native side diffs the rect before emitting to avoid redundant bridge traffic.getCaretRect()provides the same data as a one-off Promise-based query.Both APIs surface caret geometry that the native text systems already track internally (
UITextView.caretRectForPositionon iOS,Layout.getLineForOffset/getLineTop/getPrimaryHorizontalon Android).Testing
