Question 1

How do I pass data between screens in react native simple router?

Use the passProps or data key in the toRoute function. For example, passProps: { key: value } passes props directly, or use data for custom objects, accessible via this.props.data in the target component.

Question 2

React native simple router vs react navigation: which is better?

Accepted Answer

React Navigation is more feature-rich, actively maintained, and supports tabs, drawers, and deep linking. Simple Router is better for simple stack-based apps where ease of use and customization are priorities, but it lacks advanced features.

Question 3

How to customize the back button in react native simple router?

Accepted Answer

Set the backButtonComponent prop in the Router or toRoute configuration to use a custom component, and pass additional properties with backButtonProps, as detailed in the README examples.

Question 4

Does react native simple router support deep linking?

Accepted Answer

Question 5

How to hide the navigation bar for specific routes?
