# Summary
Closes#2356
Currently, when `filter` prop is defined, but there is no equivalent
`<Filter>` component, on iOS nothing is rendered, with this fix this
prop would be ignored, and the component should render as expected.
## Test Plan
```tsx
<Svg width="400" height="400" viewBox="0 0 124 124" fill="none">
<Rect width="124" height="124" rx="24" fill="red" filter="url(#nonExistingFilterId)"/>
</Svg>
```

# Summary
Introducing the long-awaited **Filters** in `react-native-svg` 🎉
### Motivation
This PR is the beginning of bringing support of SVG Filters into
`react-native-svg`.
* **related issues**: This PR series will address the following issues:
#150, #176, #635, #883, #994, #996, #1216
* **feature overview**: This PR is a boilerplate for Filters
* introducing `Filter` component and `FeColorMatrix` as a start.
* It also introduces a new subdirectory called
`react-native-svg/filter-image` with a `FilterImage` component.
# Usage
## Filter and Fe...
Filters are compatible with the web familiar standard, so most things
should be compatible out-of-the-box and changes will be limited to using
a capital letter as it's component.
### Example
```tsx
import React from 'react';
import { FeColorMatrix, Filter, Rect, Svg } from 'react-native-svg';
export default () => {
return (
<Svg height="300" width="300">
<Filter id="myFilter">
<FeColorMatrix type="saturate" values="0.2" />
</Filter>
<Rect
x="0"
y="0"
width="300"
height="300"
fill="red"
filter="url(#myFilter)"
/>
</Svg>
);
};
```

## Filter Image
`FilterImage` is a new component that is not strictly related to SVG.
Its behavior should be the same as a regular `Image` component from
React Native with one exception - the additional prop `filters`, which
accepts an array of filters to apply to the image.
### Example
```tsx
import React from 'react';
import { StyleSheet } from 'react-native';
import { FilterImage } from 'react-native-svg/filter-image';
const myImage = require('./myImage.jpg');
export default () => {
return (
<FilterImage
style={styles.image}
source={myImage}
filters={[
{ name: 'colorMatrix', type: 'saturate', values: 0.2 },
{
name: 'colorMatrix',
type: 'matrix',
values: [
0.2, 0.2, 0.2, 0, 0, 0.2, 0.2, 0.2, 0, 0, 0.2, 0.2, 0.2, 0, 0, 0, 0,
0, 1, 0,
],
},
]}
/>
);
};
const styles = StyleSheet.create({
image: {
width: 200,
height: 200,
},
});
```

## Test Plan
**Example App**: Updated the example app with various filter effects,
showcasing real-world usage.

## Checklist
- [x] I have tested this on a device and a simulator
- [x] I added documentation in `README.md` and `USAGE.md`
- [x] I updated the typed files (typescript)
Since UIGraphicsBeginImageContextWithOptions will be depracated in iOS 17 (developer.apple.com/documentation/uikit/1623912-uigraphicsbeginimagecontextwitho), I changed the implementation to not use it and use UIGraphicsImageRenderer instead.
Also added Mask examples to be able to test it.
Version of #1754 without usage of ComponentViews. It seems like a more proper way, but introduces the necessity of clearing whole state of each component on recycling for it not to be used when view is recycled.
Still known problems:
We stringify props of type NumberProp since codegen only accepts props of a single type. It is the fastest way of dealing with it, but maybe there could be a better way to handle it.
Image resolving should be probably handled the same as in RN core
SvgView needs to set opaque = NO so it is does not have black background (it comes from the fact that RCTViewComponentView overrides backgroundColor setter which in turn somehow messes with the view being opaque). All other svg components do it already so maybe it is not such an issue.
transform prop won't work when set natively since it is not parsed in Fabric
