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.
