iOS mostly working. Android TODO

react-native-navigation-extra-view

React Native Navigation by Wix is the best library I have found as a navigation solution. The biggest limitation is when you want to render a global element outside of the navigation stack. This allows you to render that element and still have it communicate with the rest of your app.

Getting started

$ npm install react-native-navigation-extra-view --save

Mostly automatic installation

$ react-native link react-native-navigation-extra-view

Manual installation

iOS

1. In XCode, in the project navigator, right click Libraries ➜ Add Files to [your project's name]
2. Go to node_modules ➜ react-native-navigation-extra-view and add RNNExtraView.xcodeproj
3. In XCode, in the project navigator, select your project. Add libRNNExtraView.a to your project's Build Phases ➜ Link Binary With Libraries
4. Run your project (Cmd+R)<

Android

1. Open up android/app/src/main/java/[...]/MainActivity.java

• Add import com.reactlibrary.RNNExtraViewPackage; to the imports at the top of the file
• Add new RNNExtraViewPackage() to the list returned by the getPackages() method

2. Append the following lines to android/settings.gradle:

   include ':react-native-navigation-extra-view'
   project(':react-native-navigation-extra-view').projectDir = new File(rootProject.projectDir, 	'../node_modules/react-native-navigation-extra-view/android')
   

3. Insert the following lines inside the dependencies block in android/app/build.gradle:

     compile project(':react-native-navigation-extra-view')
   

Usage

import RNNExtraView from 'react-native-navigation-extra-view';

1. Register your view ExtraView.registerComponent('Test', () => TestComponent, stores, Provider) or ExtraView.registerComponent('Test', () => TestComponent)

2. Start RNN app normally. In the then, init the view

    Navigation.startSingleScreenApp({
      screen: {
        screen: 'MyApp.Home',
        title:  'Home',
        navigatorStyle: {...}
      }
    }).then(()=>{
      RNNExtraView.init('Test')
    });
