onChangeText is not triggered during pasting value in TextInput

Question

onChangeText is not triggered during pasting value in TextInput in IOS. How is possible to fix it? Here is my TextInput:

 <TextInput
                    value={this.state.username}
                    style={styles.input}
                    placeholder='Email'
                    placeholderTextColor='#9D9D9D'
                    returnKeyType='next'
                    selectTextOnFocus={true} 
                    onSubmitEditing={() => this.passwordRef.focus()} 
                    autoCapitalize='none'
                    autoCorrect={false}
                    autoComplete='email'
                    keyboardType='email-address'
                    onChangeText={ text => this.onChangeEmail('username', text) }
                /> 



 onChangeEmail = async (key, value) => {
        await this.setState({ [key]: value })
        const { username } = this.state
        if (username.trim() === "") {
            this.setState(() => ({ emailError: "Required"}));
            return
          }
          else if (!username.match(/.+@.+/) ){
            this.setState(() => ({ emailError: "Not an email address"}));
            return
          }
          else {
                 this.setState(() => ({ emailError: null}));
               }
    }

how are you updating the value in `onChangeEmail`? – Junius L May 12 '19 at 21:04 — Junius L, May 12 '19 at 21:04

I found the solution for this problem, instead of onChangeText, I used onChange, after that TextInput started work as expected.
