react-navigation-actions

Common navigation actions for direct use with react-navigation.

Installation

If you use yarn:

yarn add react-navigation-actions

If you use npm:

npm install --save react-navigation-actions

Override getStateForAction of your Navigator to be able to use the new actions.

import { StackNavigator } from 'react-navigation';
import { getStateForAction } from 'react-navigation-actions';
 
const Navigator = new StackNavigator(screens, navigatorConfig);
Navigator.router.getStateForAction = getStateForAction(Navigator.router.getStateForAction);

Usage

react-navigation-actions provides simple action creators, which you can dispatch in navigation-aware components.

import { goBackN } from 'react-navigation-actions';
 
// inside your navigation-aware component:
this.props.navigation.dispatch(goBackN(3));

Tested environments

Until now this library is only tested with StackNavigator. Nested navigators are also not tested yet. If you encounter problems feel free to open a pull request.

Available action creators

resetTo(routeName, [routeParams])

Discard the complete navigation stack of your router and show the route defined by routeName and optional routeParams.

goBackN(n)

Go back n routes in one step. If there are not enough routes to go back in the stack, this action is ignored.

replace(routeName, [routeParams])

Replace the current route with the route defined by routeName and the optional routeParams.
