+# React Native UITextView
+
+Drop in replacement for `<Text>` that renders a `UITextView`, support selection and native translation features on iOS.
+
+## Installation
+
+In this project, no installation is required. The pod will be installed automatically during a `pod install`.
+
+In another project, clone the repo and copy the `modules/react-native-ui-text-view` directory to your own project
+directory. Afterward, run `pod install`.
+
+## Usage
+
+Replace the outermost `<Text>` with `<UITextView>`. Styles and press events should be handled the same way they would
+with `<Text>`. Both `<UITextView>` and `<Text>` are supported as children of the root `<UITextView>`.
+
+## Technical
+
+React Native's `Text` component allows for "infinite" nesting of further `Text` components. To make a true "drop-in",
+we want to do the same thing.
+
+To achieve this, we first need to handle determining if we are dealing with an ancestor or root `UITextView` component.
+We can implement similar logic to the `Text` component [see Text.js](https://github.com/facebook/react-native/blob/7f2529de7bc9ab1617eaf571e950d0717c3102a6/packages/react-native/Libraries/Text/Text.js).
+
+We create a context that contains a boolean to tell us if we have already rendered the root `UITextView`. We also store
+the root styles so that we can apply those styles if the ancestor `UITextView`s have not overwritten those styles.
+
+All of our children are placed into `RNUITextView`, which is the main native view that will display the iOS `UITextView`.
+
+We next map each child into the view. We have to be careful here to check if the child's `children` prop is a string. If
+it is, that means we have encountered what was once an RN `Text` component. RN doesn't let us pass plain text as
+children outside of `Text`, so we instead just pass the text into the `text` prop on `RNUITextViewChild`. We continue 
+down the tree, until we run out of children.
+
+On the native side, we make use of the shadow view to calculate text container dimensions before the views are mounted.
+We cannot simply set the `UITextView` text first, since React will not have properly measured the layout before this
+occurs.
+
+
+As for `Text` props, the following props are implemented:
+
+- All accessibility props
+- `allowFontScaling`
+- `adjustsFontSizeToFit`
+- `ellipsizeMode`
+- `numberOfLines`
+- `onLayout`
+- `onPress`
+- `onTextLayout`
+- `selectable`
+
+All `ViewStyle` props will apply to the root `UITextView`. Individual children will respect these `TextStyle` styles:
+
+- `color`
+- `fontSize`
+- `fontStyle`
+- `fontWeight`
+- `fontVariant`
+- `letterSpacing`
+- `lineHeight`
+- `textDecorationLine`
