## What it is
A React Native library that provides a unified keyboard management API working identically on iOS and Android. It maps keyboard movement to animated values and ships prebuilt components like KeyboardAvoidingView, KeyboardAwareScrollView, KeyboardToolbar, and OverKeyboardView.

## Use cases
- build a chat app where the input stays above the keyboard
- animate views in sync with keyboard movement frame by frame
- dismiss the keyboard interactively by dragging
- add a toolbar with previous/next/done buttons above the keyboard
- show custom UI over the keyboard without dismissing it
- get keyboardWillShow/keyboardWillHide events on Android
- match the keyboard background color to my app theme

## When to choose
- you need consistent cross-platform keyboard behavior in React Native
- you're building chat or messaging interfaces with keyboard-driven layouts
- you want fine-grained animation control tied to keyboard frames
- you need Android keyboard events or soft-input-mode control that core RN lacks

## When to avoid
- your app is not built with React Native
- you only need basic keyboard avoidance and are happy with React Native's built-in KeyboardAvoidingView
- you're building for web or desktop only

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: stable
- function: animation, ui-components, state-management
- domain: mobile-development, frontend, cross-platform
- platform: cross-platform
- tags: react-native, keyboard, keyboard-avoiding, keyboard-toolbar, chat-ui, reanimated, interactive-dismiss, ios, android
