# 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. ## Compatibility | OS | Implemented | | ------- | :---------: | | iOS | ✅ | | Android | ✅ | ## 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)

Troubleshooting
Unexpected behavior
If you have unexpected behavior, please create a clean project with the latest versions of react-native and react-native-svg
react-native init CleanProject
cd CleanProject/
yarn add react-native-svg
cd ios && pod install && cd ..
Make a reproduction of the problem in App.js
react-native run-ios
react-native run-android
Adding Windows support
npx react-native-windows-init --overwritereact-native run-windows
Opening issues
Verify that it is still an issue with the latest version as specified in the previous step. If so, open a new issue, include the entire App.js file, specify what platforms you've tested, and the results of running this command:
react-native info
If you suspect that you've found a spec conformance bug, then you can test using your component in a react-native-web project by forking this codesandbox, to see how different browsers render the same content: https://codesandbox.io/s/pypn6mn3y7 If any evergreen browser with significant userbase or other svg user agent renders some svg content better, or supports more of the svg and related specs, please open an issue asap.
Usage
To check how to use the library, see USAGE.md
