Stack Navigation in React Native Apps - How to Switch Between Different App Screens

Hi everyone! Today I want to show you how to add multiple screens to your app and navigate between them using navigation in react native. I will demonstrate how to install the navigation packages for expo react native apps but this code is also suitable for use with bare workflow react native apps. The packages we will be working with are: @react-navigation/native, @react-navigation/native-stack, react-native-screens and react-native-safe-area-context Today I will be showing you the stack navigator, key actions to navigate using the stack navigator are push/navigate which achieve the same result, pop which pops to the previous route and popToTop which pops all routes off the stack and brings you back to the first route. If you need to setup for a bare workflow follow the documentation here: https://reactnative.dev/docs/navigation I will also show you how to replace a route on the stack using StackActions. Stack Actions can be used for various other things and you can find more documentation on it here: https://reactnavigation.org/docs/stack-actions/#replace More on changing the header: https://reactnavigation.org/docs/headers My code is all available on GitHub: https://github.com/chelseafarley/react-native-navigation-tutorial You’ve clearly come here to learn and a free audible trial allows you to increase your learning potential in situations where you may be hands free like at the gym or on your commute. It allows you to spend more time on theory when you aren’t able to watch a screen, so that you can maximise your screen time to pick up technical skills.

I have been working commercially full time since 2014 and have been in various positions from graduate developer to tech lead to solution architect.
