I am using react-router-native for routing. Usually when ever new route is pushed to history the current screen will be unmounted and new screen is mounted. But As per documentation nested routing is possible in web. They haven't mentioned anything about mobile.
I just want to know if nested routing is possible react-native as I want two routes to be active at a time.
Thank You.
in case of React Native use React navigation https://reactnavigation.org/ and its stack routing in case of mobile development where you mount a new view by navigate() and unmount by goback() to history

So in my app I have a main component which have switch navigator and then inside switch navigator I have a tab navigator which renders different screens. I have registered notification handler in top component.
Now the problem is that when notification is received, I want to make some changes on screens inside tab navigator.
I have read about redux which will provide common store so state could be updated but I dont want to use that.
I have also read about lifting state up but in my case i have more nested components so I dont want to do that as well.
So suggest me some way to do it?
I have solved the problem by using react context api. It is simple wrap your top level component with provider and define some veriable and access that variable in any component.
tl;dr:
Is there a way to add a dumb/presentational React Native component on the React Navigation stack, so I don't leave the container when pressing the phones back button, but just show the previous component?
I cannot figure out how I should design my app. So far I have as many smart/container components as I have main pages (one for login, profile etc.) because my impression is that it is better to have few containers and more (presentaional) components.
So far I have only used top level navigation with React Navigation, but I have a flow where the user wants to book an appointment at the doctor.
My initial thought would be that I have one BookingContainer that renders different components, but I can't seem to figure a way to keep the navigation stack inside the one container, so now I have several containers (BookingMainContainer, BookingChooseDateContainer and BookingChooseTimeSlotContainer). The reason why I want one container is that much of the data I need is the same, so I want to just pass the data to the children instead of getting the (same) date from the state in the three related containers.
as written in the react-navigation page:
Warning: in the next major version of React Navigation, to be released in Fall 2018, we will no longer provide any information about how to integrate with Redux and it may cease to work.
In the next version of react-navigation it could be hard to use redux with react-navigation.
My question is: what can I do to use states (and passing states between screens) in a react-navigation app without using redux?
For children of navigator
react-navigation gives you an withNavigation HOC, so you can easily wrap the component inside it to access the navigation state and navigate.
Why you integrate react navigation with redux?
For me, I want to be able to perform navigation actions from outside of my components(screens). Eg: Redux-saga. If we don't integrate, we can't navigate via redux-saga.
For a task like that we don't need to integrate react-navigation and redux. We just need to use NavigationService.
I have an app that I am developing in React Native, using Expo. When I make a change to a deeply nested screen, I have to navigate back to that screen to check my changes.
Is it possible to configure React Native or Expo to go back to that screen after a reload?
I'm not sure if it matter, but I'm also using React-Navigation.
What I usually do is just switch the routes in the navigator config so that deeply nested screen is the first route... then you can work on it and make changes, and when you’re done just reset the routes to what they’re supposed to be. Does that make sense?
Try Running the app on a live device , Changes will be reflected directly on screen rather than going to root
I'm building a react-native app and I would like new users to experience one of those slider walkthroughs that explains the app and how to use it, but then never show it again.
What is the best approach to achieve this functionality?
You can use Navigator to achieve this. Push the sliding view into the Navigator, then when you want to exit out of it then use replace(route) function of the Navigator.
The replace(route) method of navigator replaces the current scene with the new route
replace(route) - Replace the current scene with a new route
