Features

react-native-router-flux is a routing package that allows you to:

• Define scene transitions in one central location
• Without having to pass navigator objects around, and allow you to
• Call transitions anywhere in your code with a simple syntax (e.g. Actions.login({username, password}) or Actions.profile({profile}) or even Actions.profile(123) - all params will be part of this.props for given Scene component).

New Features and Highlights

• Highly Customizable Navigation Bar - Show/hide the navbar depending on Scene or even the state of a Scene (e.g. Edit/Save navbar for edit mode).

• Tab Bar Support using react-native-tabs (see Example app).

• Nested Navigators (e.g. Each tab can have its own navigator, nested in a root navigator).

• Custom Scene Renderers for action sheet, native TabBarIOS or anything else. See built-in Modal renderer (to display popups) for example. Call for PRs! let's build some custom renderers for ActionSheet, Drawer, etc. Let's make an awesome library! Currently, if you want to use Action Sheets you'll need to use a 3rd party module.

• Dynamic Routing allows you to choose which scene to render depending on application state (see the Switch renderer, useful for authentication).

• Bring Your Own Reducer for navigation state.

• Reset History Stack - The new resettype for clearing the history stack and eliminating the navbar back button.

• More Powerful State Control - Support for having different states while on the same screen. For example, "View My Account" could allow in-place editing of fields and "Save", "Cancel" navigation bar buttons should appear.

Getting Started

Check out the mini-tutorial for a quick walkthrough of the routing system.

Supported configurations

While ExperimentalNavigation API is not stable, RNRF uses separated fork of ExperimentalNavigation API to avoid dependency from React Native version. So 3.30 version of RNRF doesn't depend from React Native version, but from that fork (now it is based on 0.26 API). You could use this component with RN0.26+

Installation

npm i react-native-router-flux --save

Usage

In your top-level index.js, define your scenes using the Scene component and pass it into the Router as children:

import {Scene, Router} from 'react-native-router-flux';

class App extends React.Component {
  render() {
    return <Router>
      <Scene key="root">
        <Scene key="login" component={Login} title="Login"/>
        <Scene key="register" component={Register} title="Register"/>
        <Scene key="home" component={Home}/>
      </Scene>
    </Router>
  }
}

Alternatively, you could define all of your scenes during compile time and use it later within Router:

import {Actions, Scene, Router} from 'react-native-router-flux';

const scenes = Actions.create(
  <Scene key="root">
    <Scene key="login" component={Login} title="Login"/>
    <Scene key="register" component={Register} title="Register"/>
    <Scene key="home" component={Home}/>
  </Scene>
);

/* ... */

class App extends React.Component {
  render() {
    return <Router scenes={scenes}/>
  }
}

On any Scene, you can also call the following functions by first importing the Actions object:

import {Actions} from 'react-native-router-flux'

And then:

• Actions.ACTION_NAME(PARAMS) will call the appropriate action and params will be passed to the scene.
• Actions.pop() will pop the current screen. It accepts following optional params:
  • {popNum: [number]} allows to pop multiple screens at once
  • {refresh: {...propsToSetOnPreviousScene}} allows to refresh the props of the scene that it pops back to
• Actions.refresh(PARAMS) will update the properties of the current screen.
