# Top Level API ## Navigation ```js import { Navigation } from 'react-native-navigation'; ``` ## registerComponent(screenID, generator, store = undefined, Provider = undefined) Every screen component in your app must be registered with a unique name. The component itself is a traditional React component extending `React.Component`. ```js // not using redux (just ignore the last 2 arguments) Navigation.registerComponent('example.FirstTabScreen', () => FirstTabScreen); // using redux, pass your store and the Provider object from react-redux Navigation.registerComponent('example.FirstTabScreen', () => FirstTabScreen, store, Provider); ``` ## startTabBasedApp(params) Change your app root into an app based on several tabs (usually 2-5), a very common pattern in iOS (like Facebook app or the iOS Contacts app). Every tab has its own navigation stack with a native nav bar. ```js Navigation.startTabBasedApp({ tabs: [ { label: 'One', // tab label as appears under the icon in iOS (optional) screen: 'example.FirstTabScreen', // unique ID registered with Navigation.registerScreen icon: require('../img/one.png'), // local image asset for the tab icon unselected state (optional on iOS) selectedIcon: require('../img/one_selected.png'), // local image asset for the tab icon selected state (optional, iOS only. On Android, Use `tabBarSelectedButtonColor` instead) iconInsets: { // add this to change icon position (optional, iOS only). top: 6, // optional, default is 0. left: 0, // optional, default is 0. bottom: -6, // optional, default is 0. right: 0 // optional, default is 0. }, title: 'Screen One', // title of the screen as appears in the nav bar (optional) titleImage: require('../img/titleImage.png'), // iOS only. navigation bar title image instead of the title text of the pushed screen (optional) navigatorStyle: {}, // override the navigator style for the tab screen, see "Styling the navigator" below (optional), navigatorButtons: {} // override the nav buttons for the tab screen, see "Adding buttons to the navigator" below (optional) }, { label: 'Two', screen: 'example.SecondTabScreen', icon: require('../img/two.png'), selectedIcon: require('../img/two_selected.png'), title: 'Screen Two' } ], tabsStyle: { // optional, add this if you want to style the tab bar beyond the defaults tabBarButtonColor: '#ffff00', // optional, change the color of the tab icons and text (also unselected). On Android, add this to appStyle tabBarSelectedButtonColor: '#ff9900', // optional, change the color of the selected tab icon and text (only selected). On Android, add this to appStyle tabBarBackgroundColor: '#551A8B', // optional, change the background color of the tab bar initialTabIndex: 1, // optional, the default selected bottom tab. Default: 0. On Android, add this to appStyle }, appStyle: { orientation: 'portrait', // Sets a specific orientation to the entire app. Default: 'auto'. Supported values: 'auto', 'landscape', 'portrait' bottomTabBadgeTextColor: 'red', // Optional, change badge text color. Android only bottomTabBadgeBackgroundColor: 'green', // Optional, change badge background color. Android only backButtonImage: require('./pathToImage.png') // Change the back button default arrow image with provided image. iOS only hideBackButtonTitle: true/false // Hide back button title. Default is false. If `backButtonTitle` provided so it will take into account and the `backButtonTitle` value will show. iOS only }, drawer: { // optional, add this if you want a side menu drawer in your app left: { // optional, define if you want a drawer from the left screen: 'example.FirstSideMenu', // unique ID registered with Navigation.registerScreen passProps: {} // simple serializable object that will pass as props to all top screens (optional), fixedWidth: 500, // a fixed width you want your left drawer to have (optional) }, right: { // optional, define if you want a drawer from the right screen: 'example.SecondSideMenu', // unique ID registered with Navigation.registerScreen passProps: {} // simple serializable object that will pass as props to all top screens (optional) fixedWidth: 500, // a fixed width you want your right drawer to have (optional) }, style: { // ( iOS only )      drawerShadow: true, // optional, add this if you want a side menu drawer shadow      contentOverlayColor: 'rgba(0,0,0,0.25)', // optional, add this if you want a overlay color when drawer is open leftDrawerWidth: 50, // optional, add this if you want a define left drawer width (50=percent) rightDrawerWidth: 50, // optional, add this if you want a define right drawer width (50=percent) shouldStretchDrawer: true // optional, iOS only with 'MMDrawer' type, whether or not the panning gesture will “hard-stop” at the maximum width for a given drawer side, default : true }, type: 'MMDrawer', // optional, iOS only, types: 'TheSideBar', 'MMDrawer' default: 'MMDrawer' animationType: 'door', //optional, iOS only, for MMDrawer: 'door', 'parallax', 'slide', 'slide-and-scale' // for TheSideBar: 'airbnb', 'facebook', 'luvocracy','wunder-list' disableOpenGesture: false // optional, can the drawer be opened with a swipe instead of button }, passProps: {}, // simple serializable object that will pass as props to all top screens (optional) animationType: 'slide-down' // optional, add transition animation to root change: 'none', 'slide-down', 'fade' }); ``` ## startSingleScreenApp(params) Change your app root into an app based on a single screen (like the iOS Calendar or Settings app). The screen will receive its own navigation stack with a native nav bar ```js Navigation.startSingleScreenApp({ screen: { screen: 'example.WelcomeScreen', // unique ID registered with Navigation.registerScreen title: 'Welcome', // title of the screen as appears in the nav bar (optional) navigatorStyle: {}, // override the navigator style for the screen, see "Styling the navigator" below (optional) navigatorButtons: {} // override the nav buttons for the screen, see "Adding buttons to the navigator" below (optional) }, drawer: { // optional, add this if you want a side menu drawer in your app left: { // optional, define if you want a drawer from the left screen: 'example.FirstSideMenu', // unique ID registered with Navigation.registerScreen passProps: {}, // simple serializable object that will pass as props to all top screens (optional) disableOpenGesture: false // can the drawer be opened with a swipe instead of button (optional, Android only) fixedWidth: 500, // a fixed width you want your left drawer to have (optional) }, right: { // optional, define if you want a drawer from the right screen: 'example.SecondSideMenu', // unique ID registered with Navigation.registerScreen passProps: {} // simple serializable object that will pass as props to all top screens (optional) disableOpenGesture: false // can the drawer be opened with a swipe instead of button (optional, Android only) fixedWidth: 500, // a fixed width you want your right drawer to have (optional) }, style: { // ( iOS only )      drawerShadow: true, // optional, add this if you want a side menu drawer shadow      contentOverlayColor: 'rgba(0,0,0,0.25)', // optional, add this if you want a overlay color when drawer is open leftDrawerWidth: 50, // optional, add this if you want a define left drawer width (50=percent) rightDrawerWidth: 50 // optional, add this if you want a define right drawer width (50=percent) }, type: 'MMDrawer', // optional, iOS only, types: 'TheSideBar', 'MMDrawer' default: 'MMDrawer' animationType: 'door', //optional, iOS only, for MMDrawer: 'door', 'parallax', 'slide', 'slide-and-scale' // for TheSideBar: 'airbnb', 'facebook', 'luvocracy','wunder-list' disableOpenGesture: false // optional, can the drawer, both right and left, be opened with a swipe instead of button }, passProps: {}, // simple serializable object that will pass as props to all top screens (optional) animationType: 'slide-down' // optional, add transition animation to root change: 'none', 'slide-down', 'fade' }); ``` ## showModal(params = {}) Show a screen as a modal. ```js Navigation.showModal({ screen: "example.ModalScreen", // unique ID registered with Navigation.registerScreen title: "Modal", // title of the screen as appears in the nav bar (optional) passProps: {}, // simple serializable object that will pass as props to the modal (optional) navigatorStyle: {}, // override the navigator style for the screen, see "Styling the navigator" below (optional) navigatorButtons: {}, // override the nav buttons for the screen, see "Adding buttons to the navigator" below (optional) animationType: 'slide-up' // 'none' / 'slide-up' , appear animation for the modal (optional, default 'slide-up') }); ``` ## dismissModal(params = {}) Dismiss the current modal. ```js Navigation.dismissModal({ animationType: 'slide-down' // 'none' / 'slide-down' , dismiss animation for the modal (optional, default 'slide-down') }); ``` ## dismissAllModals(params = {}) Dismiss all the current modals at the same time. ```js Navigation.dismissAllModals({ animationType: 'slide-down' // 'none' / 'slide-down' , dismiss animation for the modal (optional, default 'slide-down') }); ``` ## showLightBox(params = {}) Show a screen as a lightbox. ```js Navigation.showLightBox({ screen: "example.LightBoxScreen", // unique ID registered with Navigation.registerScreen passProps: {}, // simple serializable object that will pass as props to the lightbox (optional) style: { backgroundBlur: "dark", // 'dark' / 'light' / 'xlight' / 'none' - the type of blur on the background backgroundColor: "#ff000080", // tint color for the background, you can specify alpha here (optional) tapBackgroundToDismiss: true // dismisses LightBox on background taps (optional) } }); ``` ## dismissLightBox(params = {}) Dismiss the current lightbox. ```js Navigation.dismissLightBox(); ``` ## handleDeepLink(params = {}) Trigger a deep link within the app. See [deep links](https://wix.github.io/react-native-navigation/#/deep-links) for more details about how screens can listen for deep link events. ```js Navigation.handleDeepLink({ link: 'link/in/any/format', payload: '' // (optional) Extra payload with deep link }); ``` ## registerScreen(screenID, generator) This is an internal function you probably don't want to use directly. If your screen components extend `Screen` directly (`import { Screen } from 'react-native-navigation'`), you can register them directly with `registerScreen` instead of with `registerComponent`. The main benefit of using `registerComponent` is that it wraps your regular screen component with a `Screen` automatically. ```js Navigation.registerScreen('example.AdvancedScreen', () => AdvancedScreen); ``` ## getCurrentlyVisibleScreenId() In some cases you might need the id of the currently visible screen. This method returns the unique id of the currently visible screen: `const visibleScreenInstanceId = await Navigation.getCurrentlyVisibleScreenId()` In order to have any use of this method, you'd need to map instanceId to screens your self.
