UI Components
Placeholder
Helper UI component for rendering native views.
<Placeholder>
allows adding native views directly in your markup without creating a full View wrapper for it. When NativeScript is constructing the UI and encounters a Placeholder element, it emits a creatingView
event, allowing you to pass in any native view to be rendered by assigning it to the args.view
parameter.

.
