📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Native CSS filter support now uses dedicated compilation and runtime formatting. Empty variable fallbacks resolve correctly. Tests cover filter values and ordering. Documentation records native filter support and platform requirements.

Changes

Native filter support

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Filter compilation and runtime formatting packages/uniwind/src/bundler/css-processor/functions.ts, packages/uniwind/src/bundler/css-processor/var.ts, packages/uniwind/src/core/native/runtime.ts	Supported filters use processFilterFunction and UniwindRuntime.filterFn. Percentage values are rounded, blur uses px, and empty variable fallbacks return an empty value.
Filter validation and platform documentation packages/uniwind/tests/native/styles-parsing/filters.test.tsx, CONTEXT.md	Tests cover supported filters and combined-filter ordering. Documentation describes filter processing and platform limits.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to 3896c

This is a localized change adding filter support for iOS and React Native 0.87 canary builds; no actionable merge-blocking risk remains beyond normal checks and review.

Greptile Summary

The PR adds native CSS filter serialization for React Native and preserves Tailwind’s empty variable fallbacks used to compose filter chains.

• Recognizes and serializes supported CSS filter functions through the native runtime.
• Converts percentage filter arguments to normalized numeric amounts while retaining filter order.
• Handles var(--x,) as an empty fallback for optional Tailwind filter components.
• Adds native parsing coverage for blur, amount filters, hue rotation, and combined filters.
• Documents platform and React Native feature-flag requirements.

Confidence Score: 5/5

The PR appears safe to merge.

No blocking failure remains.

Important Files Changed
