Question:
Hey I am new to react native. So basically I have a stack navigator with two screen option: Screen 1 (Default) and Screen2. I already set up a button so that when pressed it will take me to Screen 2. So in Screen1 I have an array displayed as scrollview component. Now when i press the button to go to screen2 I want to pass some of the array values to that screen2 component. What is the best way to do it? Thank you :)
I am really new so my attempts are kinda dumb. I tried importing the Screen1 component and calling the array values via this.state but no access.
Answer1:The easiest way to pass the data is when you are navigating. To do that it is better that you put your array in a state an then use the following method:
onPress=()=>{
this.props.navigation.navigate('Screen2', {
yourArray: this.state.yourArray, });
}
}
Then in the next screen(Screen2) you can find the array(your data) in the props.So in your constructor in scrren2 you can find the data here:
constructor(props) {
super(props);
var params = props.navigation.state.params.yourArray;
}
Also to come back to your previous screen without touching your states you can use this code in your back button:
const { goBack } = this.props.navigation;
goBack();
