Based on the docs - https://docs.nativescript.org/ui/styling#accessing-nativescript-component-properties-with-css - A developer can declare non-CSS widgets properties in the CSS and this would work if the properties accept text based value.
This works only for lowercase only properties, i.e. single word camel case, and it seems this never worked for multi-word camel case properties. The example in the docs works, but properties like
textFieldBackgroundColor
of theSearchBar
didn't work. The solution to this bug is to allow the developer to declare such properties as kebab case like thistext-field-background-color
.This actually implements a number of issues marked as features:
Fixes #5355
Fixes #5372
