Note: Use React Navigation now instead
This project was developed in early 2016 and has since matured and combined with Expo's Ex-Navigation project to form a new effort: React Navigation. Please use that instead, and collaborate with the community to improve it!
DEPRECATED NavigationExperimental
This was an 2016 RFC for a new Navigation system for react native, with focus on the following improvements over <Navigator />:
- Single-directional data flow, using reducers to manipulate top-level state object
- Navigation logic and routing must be independent from view logic to allow for a variety of native and js-based navigation views
- Improved modularity of scene animations, gestures, and navigation bars
If you're confused about all the navigation options, look at the Navigation Comparison doc.
