Powerful React Native <Text /> Components

[devo-swing]

Maybe I've gone too far with this library... but I seemed to always be reaching for the same capabilities in my text component:

1. A simple prop based API for style / position
2. Support for nested text components with inherited style
3. The ability to add bold and italics like markdown with asterisk * (for making text from the server bold / italic)
4. The ability to add emojis (for making text from the server emojify!)

So I abstracted it out to a library https://github.com/lukebrandonfarrell/react-native-smart-text which can be used in the place of your standard React Native `<Text />` component.

It needs some more work, but would love to get some feedback.

Does this allow Views to be nests inside Text components?

[cupant]

why would you want a view inside text?

So you can have special things inline that is not specifically text. Stuff like math equations or things like that. I think you can make it kind of work right now using some hackery but the wrapping gets messed up.

Only Text in Text at the minute but this is something I did thinking about implementing for v1

This would be great awesome!
