Seems like "goBackGesture" not working!

[Md Anisur Rahman]

Description

Hi @WoLewicki , @tboba, @piaskowyk great work on "goBackGesture" 🔥

By any chance I followed all of your instructions to create "Screen transition based on gesture" in a fresh bare React Native app but I see the output is not like yours in Youtube/ Pull Request videos.

Steps to reproduce

• Below are the SDK dependencies. So, please use these SDK dependencies
• After that I have added the code of App.js file for "goBackGesture". But that didn't work

Dependencies & their Versions

• "react": "18.2.0",
• "react-native": "0.73.6",
• "@react-navigation/native": "^6.1.17",
• "@react-navigation/native-stack": "^6.9.26",
• "react-native-gesture-handler": "^2.16.0",
• "react-native-reanimated": "^3.8.1",
• "react-native-screens": "^3.30.1"

Code of App.js below 👇

// NPM MODULES
import React from 'react'
import { StyleSheet } from 'react-native'

import { NavigationContainer } from '@react-navigation/native'
import { GestureHandlerRootView } from 'react-native-gesture-handler'
import { createNativeStackNavigator } from '@react-navigation/native-stack'
import { GestureDetectorProvider } from 'react-native-screens/gesture-handler'

// SCREENS
import ScreenA from './src/components/screenA'
import ScreenB from './src/components/screenB'
import ScreenC from './src/components/screenC'

const Stack = createNativeStackNavigator()

function App() {
	return (
		<GestureHandlerRootView style={styles.container}>
			<NavigationContainer>
				<GestureDetectorProvider>
					<Stack.Navigator
						screenOptions={{
							stackAnimation: 'modal'
						}}>
						<Stack.Screen name="ScreenA" component={ScreenA} />
						<Stack.Screen
							name="ScreenB"
							component={ScreenB}
							options={{
								title: 'ScreenB',
								gestureEnabled: true,
								goBackGesture: 'swipeDown' // gestures that trigger the screen transition
							}}
						/>
						<Stack.Screen
							name="ScreenC"
							component={ScreenC}
							options={{
								title: 'ScreenC',
								gestureEnabled: true,
								goBackGesture: 'swipeUp' // gestures that trigger the screen transition
							}}
						/>
					</Stack.Navigator>
				</GestureDetectorProvider>
			</NavigationContainer>
		</GestureHandlerRootView>
	)
}

The output from my side (Gesture & Swipe not working!) 👇

If you guys can help on it then it would be very helpful 🙏. Also I didn't get any complete code examples for "goBackGesture". May be I didn't find that or may that is not there yet.

Hello, seems like it was an issue of Import. Basically, the guide/resources were not pretty clear on how to import stuffs to activate "goBackGesture"!

✅ So I'm using this one now 👇

import { NavigationContainer } from '@react-navigation/native'
import { GestureHandlerRootView } from 'react-native-gesture-handler'
import { createNativeStackNavigator } from 'react-native-screens/native-stack'
import { GestureDetectorProvider } from 'react-native-screens/gesture-handler'

❌ Instead of this 👇

import { NavigationContainer } from '@react-navigation/native'
import { GestureHandlerRootView } from 'react-native-gesture-handler'
import { createNativeStackNavigator } from '@react-navigation/native-stack'
import { GestureDetectorProvider } from 'react-native-screens/gesture-handler'

So, now I see I can refer (inspect in VScode by CMD + Mouse Left Button) "goBackGesture" props easily 🚀

But when I ran this, I found a NEW ERROR 👇 (Could you please help here @WoLewicki , @tboba, @piaskowyk)

Finally solved it by using "react-native-reanimated": "3.9.0-rc.0" ---> It is not yet a stable version. It is still in pre-release.

A day in a battleship. Finally won the war 🔥

Hi @anisurrahman072, that's awesome! 😄
Yeah, this feature is currently working only on the native-stack v5 and RC version of Reanimated, but we're preparing all of the stuff to make this stable! ❤️

If you still have any questions, I'm happy to help.
Cheers
