TextInput Affix only displays after focus

TextInput Affix only displays after focus

react-native-paper 4.9.2
react-native sdk42
expo 42.0.0

A user should know of any Affix information before they start to type. I suggest always display the right node, or optionally always display it

Alternatives
We need to write a custom TextInput, or fork rn-paper to change the right property behaviour

Couldn't find version numbers for the following packages in the issue:

• react-native
• react-native-paper
• react-native-vector-icons

Can you update the issue to include version numbers for those packages? The version numbers must match the format 1.2.3.

Hey! Thanks for opening the issue. The issue doesn't seem to contain a link to a repro (a snack.expo.dev link or link to a GitHub repo under your username).

Can you provide a minimal repro which demonstrates the issue? A repro will help us debug the issue faster. Please try to keep the repro as small as possible and make sure that we can run it without additional setup.

Hey @conor909, MD documentation indicates that suffix or affix should be visible in focused state if input is empty.

affix	suffix

[conor909]

Fair enough, just another quirk of MD. Thanks

Here we go again with patch-package.

Still can we have a prop for such edge cases?

A prop would be much more useful. pretty common usecase

this sucks

We need to control this , using TextInput.Affix as labels is common thing
