React Native Navigation

Priority: P0 (CRITICAL)

Use React Navigation (official solution).

Build Type-Safe Navigation Stacks

  • Architecture: Use Native Stack (createNativeStackNavigator) by default for native performance. Only use JS Stack for custom transitions.
  • Typing: Use NativeStackScreenProps for screens. CompositeScreenProps for nested Navigators.

See deep linking reference for typed param lists and stack navigator setup.

Configure Deep Linking

  • Deep Linking: Use prefix arrays in linking config. Validate Universal Links (iOS) and App Links (Android). Handle unrecognized paths with a 404 screen.

See deep linking reference for linking configuration with prefix arrays and fallback screens.

Implement Auth Flow

  • Auth/App split: Conditionally render Auth Stack vs App Stack in NavigationContainer. Clear the navigation state after logout.
  • Logic: Use Tab Navigators for bottom navigation. Drawer for side menus.
  • Transitions: Native-like feel via presentation: 'modal'. Custom headerLeft/Right in options.
  • 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.
