How can I have React Native navigation load component from another file? - javascript

I am trying to learn React Native navigation. This is my App.js, and it works fine, as expected:
import React, { Component } from 'react';
import { View, Text } from 'react-native';
import { NavigationContainer } from '#react-navigation/native';
import { createStackNavigator } from '#react-navigation/stack';
class App extends Component {
HomeScreen() {
return (
<View style={{ flex: 1, alignItems: 'center', justifyContent: 'center' }}>
<Text>Home Screen</Text>
</View>
);
}
render() {
return (
<NavigationContainer>
<Stack.Navigator>
<Stack.Screen name="Home" component={this.HomeScreen} />
</Stack.Navigator>
</NavigationContainer>
)
}
}
const Stack = createStackNavigator();
export default App;
Here I have defined HomeScreen in the App.js file itself. But what if I wanted to define it as a standalone component in another file (say HomeScreen.js), like so -
import React, { Component } from 'react';
import { View, Text } from 'react-native';
class HomeScreen extends Component {
render() {
return (
<View style={{ flex: 1, alignItems: 'center', justifyContent: 'center' }}>
<Text>Home Screen</Text>
</View>
)
}
}
export default HomeScreen;
How would I import and use that HomeScreen in App.js? I have tried import HomeScreen from './components/HomeScreen' and <Stack.Screen name="Home" component={HomeScreen} /> but that gives me an error saying that it's not a component. I know this is a simple, basic question, but so far I've not been able to find an answer anywhere. Is there a different navigation library I should be using to solve this problem?

I fixed it. What I was trying to do is give the component value JSX style, like component={<HomeScreen />} but it should just be component={HomeScreen}.

Reload a stack and swipe it in react-native

I am trying to swipe in a page and I have:
import { StyleSheet, Text, View } from 'react-native';
import { NavigationContainer } from '#react-navigation/native';
import { createNativeStackNavigator } from '#react-navigation/native-stack';
import { HomeScreen } from './screens/Home';
import { IvoryFeedScreen } from './screens/IvoryFeed';
export default function App() {
const Stack = createNativeStackNavigator();
return (
<NavigationContainer>
<Stack.Navigator initialRouteName='feed' screenOptions={{ headerShown: false, gestureDirection: 'vertical' }}>
<Stack.Screen name="feed" component={IvoryFeedScreen} />
<Stack.Screen name="home" component={HomeScreen} />
</Stack.Navigator>
</NavigationContainer>
);
}
When I'm on IvoryFeedScreen, I have:
import React, { useEffect, useState } from 'react'
import { View, Text } from 'react-native';
import { Link } from '#react-navigation/native';
export function IvoryFeedScreen() {
return (
<View style={{ flex: 1, alignItems: 'center', justifyContent: 'center' }}>
<Text>Ivory Feed Screen</Text>
<Link to="/home">Home</Link>
<Link to={`/feed/${Math.random()}`}>Feed - {Math.random()}</Link>
</View>
);
}
So when you click through to feed, it simply refreshes. But I want it to swipe in as if it were a new route. Can this be accomplished?
Use action to change behavior for in-page navigation. push action adds a route on top of the stack, so a route can be present multiple times.
<Link
to={`/Details/${Math.random()}`}
action={StackActions.push(`Details`)}>
Feed - {Math.random()}
</Link>

Switching Between Screens with React Native Navigation and importing JS

I'm struggling to figure out why my code doesn't work. I keep reading the tutorials and nothing helps. How can I switch between screens and have the screens in different JS files (as components)?
Currently, my code works for the first screen, but when I click on the button nothing shows up.
Please see the codes below:
App.js
import * as React from 'react';
import {Button, View, Text } from 'react-native';
import { NavigationContainer } from '#react-navigation/native';
import { createNativeStackNavigator } from '#react-navigation/native-stack';
import TestScreen from './components/Test';
//HOME SCREEN
function HomeScreen({ navigation }) {
return (
<View style={{ flex: 1, alignItems: 'center', justifyContent: 'center' }}>
<Text>Home Screen</Text>
<Button
title="Go to Test"
onPress={() => navigation.navigate('Test',{myParam: '03',})}
/>
</View>
);
}
const Stack = createNativeStackNavigator();
function App() {
return (
<NavigationContainer>
<Stack.Navigator initialRouteName="Home">
<Stack.Screen name="Home" component={HomeScreen} />
<Stack.Screen name="Test" component={TestScreen} />
</Stack.Navigator>
</NavigationContainer>
);
}
export default App;
Test.js
import React, { Component } from "react";
import { Text, View } from "react-native";
class Test extends Component {
render() {
const { navigation } = this.props;
return (
<View style={{ flex: 1, alignItems: 'center', justifyContent: 'center' }}>
<Text>Test Screen</Text>
<Button
title="Test"
onPress={() => navigation.navigate('Home')}
/>
</View>
);
}
}
export default Test;
It seems it was a very simple issue and I figured it out myself. The code in Test.js was missing 'Button' in the import statement. The correct way should be:
import { Button, Text, View } from "react-native";
It's a silly mistake, but it's not the first time this happens to me. I use Visual Studio Code, which highlights missing connections, but it seems that this doesn't work for some components. Not to mention it compiles (bundling) with no problems.
Nevertheless, the code works fine now.
First you have to import useNavigation in Test.js file.
Like this:
import { useNavigation } from "#react-navigation/core";
Then you have to use it and save it in a variable like:
const navigation = useNavigation();
Now use:
onPress={() => navigation.navigate('Home')};
This will navigate to the the other Screen.
Make sure you install every library you use in your project using npm or yarn.

TypeError: route is undefined React Native Navigation 5

I started React Native couple of days ago. Trying to create basic native apps. When i try react native navigation 5 i am gettin this error. Couldn't find similiar problem with this version of it.
TypeError: route is undefined
My Code is:
import React, { useEffect, useState } from 'react';
import { View, Text, StyleSheet } from 'react-native';
import { NavigationContainer } from '#react-navigation/native';
import { createStackNavigator } from '#react-navigation/stack';
import AppLogo from "./modules/AppLogo";
function HomeScreen() {
return (
<View style={{ flex: 1, alignItems: 'center', justifyContent: 'center' }}>
<Text>Home Screen</Text>
</View>
);
}
const Stack = createStackNavigator();
export default function App() {
return (
<NavigationContainer>
<Stack.Navigator>
<Stack.Screen name="Home" component={HomeScreen} />
</Stack.Navigator>
</NavigationContainer>
);
}

React native navigation not displaying stack screen

I'm using React Native Navigation dependency as route. But I have problem in the following code which appears to do nothing.
I'm trying to create 2 screens, one is login, the other is register (later on I will add button to move between them, right now even the default screen doesn't work).
App.JS
import React from 'react';
import { View, StatusBar, Text } from 'react-native';
import Login from './login.js';
export default function App() {
return (
<View>
<StatusBar barStyle="dark-content" hidden={false} backgroundColor="#ffffff" translucent={true}/>
<Login/>
</View>
);
}
Login.JS
import React from 'react';
import Register from './register.js';
import { StyleSheet, Text, View, TouchableOpacity } from 'react-native';
import { NavigationContainer } from '#react-navigation/native';
import { createStackNavigator } from '#react-navigation/stack';
function LoginScreen() {
return (
<View style={{ flex: 1, paddingTop: 100, alignItems: 'center', justifyContent: 'center' }}>
<Text>Home Screen</Text>
</View>
);
}
const Stack = createStackNavigator();
function Login() {
return (
<View style={styles.container}>
<Text style={styles.logo}>My Title</Text>
<Text style={styles.slogan}>Welcome</Text>
<NavigationContainer>
<Stack.Navigator initialRouteName="Login">
<Stack.Screen name="Login" component={LoginScreen} />
<Stack.Screen name="Register" component={Register} />
</Stack.Navigator>
</NavigationContainer>
</View>
);
}
export default Login;
By reading the docs that should work, but I can't understand what is wrong here.
I receive blank area in the stack screen area.
I have tried to replace Register component with function, didn't work either.
How can I display React Native Navigation stack screen correctly?
How about having the Navigation Container wrap the contents of App.js then you can leave the Stack navigator and screens in the Login component
The container around your navigation has a background-color, so remove all background-color around it and see again.

splash screen react native

I'm starting an app and I have two views at the moment, one called Splash and the other called Home. It happens that when the splash is over it leads me to the Home view, but in this view the user presses the button backwards, the app shows me the splash again. Is there a way to avoid this? the idea is that being in the Home view there is no way to roll back the application.
MainStackNavigator.js
import * as React from 'react'
import { NavigationContainer } from '#react-navigation/native'
import { createStackNavigator } from '#react-navigation/stack'
import Splash from '../views/Splash/Splash';
import Home from '../views/Home/Home';
const Stack = createStackNavigator()
function MainStackNavigator() {
return (
<NavigationContainer>
<Stack.Navigator>
<Stack.Screen name='Splash' component={Splash} options={{ headerShown: false}} />
<Stack.Screen name='Home' component={Home} />
</Stack.Navigator>
</NavigationContainer>
)
}
export default MainStackNavigator
Splash.js
import React, { Component } from 'react'
import { View, ImageBackground, Image } from 'react-native'
// import SplashContext from '../../state/splashContext'
var bg = require('../../../assets/img/bg.png');
var logo = require('../../../assets/img/logo.png')
export default class Splash extends Component {
constructor(props) {
super(props);
setTimeout(() => {
this.props.navigation.navigate("Home");
}, 500)
}
render() {
return (
<ImageBackground
source={bg}
style={{ height: '100%', width: '100%' }}>
<View
style={{ flex: 1, justifyContent: 'center', alignItems: 'center' }}>
<Image source={logo}
style={{ height: 100, width: 100 }}
>
</Image>
</View>
</ImageBackground>
);
}
}
Home.js
import React, { Component } from 'react'
import { View, Text } from 'react-native'
export default class Splash extends Component {
render() {
return (
<View
style={{ flex: 1, padding: 10, alignItems: 'center', justifyContent: 'center' }}
>
<Text
style={{ fontSize: 30 }}
>Homse</Text>
</View>
);
}
}
App.js
import React from 'react';
import MainStackNavigator from './src/navigation/MainStackNavigator'
const App: () => React$Node = () => {
return (
<MainStackNavigator></MainStackNavigator>
);
};
export default App;
Using "navigate" will go to the next page adding it to the stack navigator. Instead you want to replace the current page (splash screen) with the home page. This can be done using
the replace function
this.props.navigation.replace("Home");
See https://reactnavigation.org/docs/navigation-prop/
You could use a modal to show the splash on the same screen while the information is loading instead of having two different views. Have a "loading" variable in the state of the view initialized to "true". This variable will be the "visibility" boolean for your modal. After everything loads, change the "loading" variable to "false".
Here's an example with "useState" hook:
const [isLoading, setIsLoading] = useState(true);
const loadInfo = async () => {
/*do your stuff*/
/*after stuff's done*/
setIsLoading(false);
};
if (isLoading) {
return (
<MySplashScreenModal/>
);
} else {
return (
<MyHomeScreen/>
);
}
The main reason for using the modal is because you can cover the entire screen with it, including the status bar.
I used this plugin for my android and ios app for the splash screen and it works great and smooth. I recommend everyone
