Motivation

Firstly I use react-native-linear-gradient and react-native-masked-view to implement this effect:

import MaskedView from '@react-native-community/masked-view';
import LinearGradient from 'react-native-linear-gradient';

const FadingEdge = ({ children }) => (
  <MaskedView
    maskedElement={
      <LinearGradient
        colors={[
          'rgba(255, 255, 255,1)',
          'rgba(255, 255, 255,0)'
        ]}
      />
    }
  >
    {children}
  </MaskedView>
);

But its performance was terrible and had rendering issues. Maybe they were not designed to do stuff like this.

So I found the Android-FadingEdgeLayout and made this wrapper.
