What is Touchables?
In React Native, Touchable components are used to handle user interactions like taps, long presses, and double-taps on the appropriate elements. Each of these components is from the react-native package, except TouchableScale which is from react-native-touchable-scale. They can be used interchangeably depending on the type of interaction you want to provide. The main props used with these components are onPress, onLongPress, and some component-specific ones like underlayColor for TouchableHighlight.
