React Native StackNavigator: Passing props from a screen to the header of the next screen - react-native

Question

I have a React Native StackNavigator like so:
const AppStack = () => {
return (
<NavigationContainer theme={{ colors: { background: "white" }}}>
<Stack.Navigator headerMode="screen">
<Stack.Screen name="Master" component={ Master } />
<Stack.Screen
name="Details"
component={ Details }
options={{ headerTitle: props => <Header {...props} /> }} // <-- how can I pass props from Master to the Header here
/>
</Stack.Navigator>
</NavigationContainer>
)
}
The navigation works fine. When I'm on Master, if I press a TouchableOpacity, it brings up Details, with the header component Header.
However, what I want is to pass props from Master to the Header component in Details.
Something like this:
{/* What I want is that onPress, I want to pass someones_name and someones_photo_url to
the Details' Header component */ }
const Master = () => {
const someones_name = "Steve";
const someones_photo_url = "http://somephoto.com/001.jpg";
return (
<TouchableOpacity onPress={() => navigation.navigate("Details")}>
<Text>{ someones_name }</Text>
<Image source={{ uri: someones_photo_url }}>
</TouchableOpacity>
)
}
Is this possible?

You can pass values to other screens when navigating by doing the following:
Assume I am on screen "Feed" and click on someones name thus I want to go to screen "Profile" where it will show that user name that I clicked on.
In screen Feed
props.navigation.navigate('Profile, { userName: 'Shane' })`
In screen Profile I can grab that value passed in via navigate with:
const { userName } = props.route.params
To set this up inside a header assuming your screen options are outside the screen component and cannot access the props. Look into using setOptions to configure your header title dynamically.
props.navigation.setOptions({
headerTitle: ...
})
