I'm exploring possibilities of React Native while developing a demo app with custom navigation between views with the help of Navigator component - http://facebook.github.io/react-native/docs/navigator.html#content
The main app class renders navigator and inside renderScene
returns passed component:
class App extends React.Component {
render() {
return (
<Navigator
initialRoute={{name: 'WelcomeView', component: WelcomeView}}
configureScene={() => {
return Navigator.SceneConfigs.FloatFromRight;
}}
renderScene={(route, navigator) => {
// count the number of func calls
console.log(route, navigator);
if (route.component) {
return React.createElement(route.component, { navigator });
}
}}
/>
);
}
}
For now app contains 2 views:
class FeedView extends React.Component {
render() {
return (
<View style={styles.container}>
<Text>
Feed View!
</Text>
</View>
);
}
}
class WelcomeView extends React.Component {
onPressFeed() {
this.props.navigator.push({
name: 'FeedView',
component: FeedView
});
}
render() {
return (
<View style={styles.container}>
<Text style={styles.welcome}>
Welcome View!
</Text>
<Text onPress={this.onPressFeed.bind(this)}>
Go to feed!
</Text>
</View>
);
}
}
What I want to figure out is -
I see in logs that when pressing "go to feed"
renderScene
is called several times though the view renders correctly once. Is it how the animation works?index.ios.js:57 Object {name: 'WelcomeView', component: function} index.ios.js:57 Object {name: 'FeedView', component: function} // renders Feed View
Generally does my approach conforms the React way, or it can be done better?
What I want to achieve is something similar to NavigatorIOS
but without navigation bar (however some views will have their own custom navigation bar).
