This is the updated version of public fork @alentoma/react-native-selectable-text.

• new project structure and updated dependencies
• rewrote the demo with newer react-native version
• fixed a few small issues
• added a feature I needed
• scrambled the heck out of this document

import {SelectableText} from '@armata99/react-native-selectable-text';

// Use normally, it is a drop-in replacement for react-native/Text
<SelectableText
  menuItems={["Foo", "Bar"]}
  /* 
    Called when the user taps in a item of the selection menu:
    - eventType: (string) is the label
    - content: (string) the selected text portion
    - selectionStart: (int) is the start position of the selected text
    - selectionEnd: (int) is the end position of the selected text
   */
  onSelection={({ eventType, content, selectionStart, selectionEnd }) => {}}
  value="I crave star damage"
/>;
