React Native Navigation

Priority: P0 (CRITICAL)

Use React Navigation (official solution).

Implementation Guidelines

  • Architecture: Use Native Stack (
    createNativeStackNavigator
    )
    by default for native performance. Only use JS Stack for custom transitions.
  • Deep Linking: Use prefix arrays in
    linking
    config. Validate Universal Links (iOS) and App Links (Android). Handle unrecognized paths with a 404 screen.
  • Typing: Use
    NativeStackScreenProps
    for screens.
    CompositeScreenProps
    for nested Navigators.
    useNavigation
    must be typed with
    NativeStackNavigationProp
    .
  • Logic: Use Tab Navigators for bottom navigation. Drawer for side menus. Auth/App split with conditional rendering in
    NavigationContainer
    .
  • Transitions: Native-like feel via
    presentation: 'modal'
    . Custom
    headerLeft/Right
    in
    options
    .
  • Redirection: Handle auth state changes in the top-level Navigator (Auth Stack vs App Stack). Clear the navigation state after logout.
  • Data Flow: Use
    route.params
    for small IDs only. Use global state (Zustand/RTK) for complex data objects.

Anti-Patterns

  • No String Literals: Use typed params.
  • No Navigation in Business Logic: Pass callbacks from screens.
  • No Deep Nesting: Max 2-3 levels of navigators.
