TextInput onFocus Type is not LayoutEvent

[joshzeldin]

Description

According to the documentation under TextInput, the onFocus prop is supposed to accept a function that handles a LayoutEvent. However, when trying to implement the onFocus prop, it looks like it actually accepts a function that handles the NativeSyntheticEvent<TextInputFocusEventData>. This type varies significantly from the LayoutEvent type and does not include attributes such as x, y, height, width.

It would help if the documentation can explain how to extract a LayoutEvent from this other type or change the type signature to reflect the difference.

@Simek Are you familiar with this? It looks like you've been involved in the changes to this section from the history.

I'm trying to leverage the onFocus callback to scroll my wrapping ScrollView to the appropriate place and the documented LayoutEvent data would be useful as it has x/y/height/width, but the TextInputFocusEventData type doesn't seem nearly as useful for isolating where on the page the focus occurred.

Thanks for any help you can provide. Much appreciated!!

Is there anyone that can help answer this? I have a workaround, but I think it would be helpful if the documentation was updated or a further explanation was added.
