rnn-hooks

An Alternative API for react-native-navigation.

Motivation

react-native-navigation is a great library, but the API it offers is low level which sometimes is a little hard to work with.
rnn-hooks attempts to provide an alternative API which is type-safe, simple and easy to work with. For example, there will be no need to keep of track of the current componentId to perform navigation actions. It will be handled internally by rnn-hooks.

Installation

``sh
yarn add rnn-hooks
`

Usage

1. Create your screen with a navId property.

`
export class HomeScreen extends React.Component {
static navId = 'HomeScreen';

static options(): Options {
return {
topBar: {
title: {
text: 'Home',
},
},
bottomTab: {
text: 'Home',
},
};
}

render() {
return ;
}
}
`

2. Register your screen using withNavProvider HOC.

`
const SCREENS = [HomeScreen, SettingsScreen, AboutScreen, RandomScreen];

export const registerScreens = () => {
SCREENS.forEach(screen =>
Navigation.registerComponent(screen.navId, () => withNavProvider(screen)),
);
};
`

3. import useNav and start pushing screens.

`
const nav = useNav();

const handlePush = () => {
nav.push(RandomScreen, { color: 'red' });
};
`
