React-native-navigation: Third Party Libraries Support : react-native-gesture-handler & react-native-reanimated

[subhadipsjsc]

some extra 3rd party Library support will be helpful

Support for native animation : react-native-gesture-handler & react-native-reanimated

React-native-navigation is the native implementation of the navigation system in the react-native ecosystem. Its main focus is performance (shifting weight of navigation from Js thread to native one).
currently, it supports Third-Party Libraries: Redux, react-native-vector-icons

react-native-gesture-handler & react-native-reanimated are Animation libraries, also doing kinda same like React-native-navigation in the animation domain. (shifting weight of Animation from Js thread to native one).
support for these native implementations ( react-native-gesture-handler & react-native-reanimated ) will be very helpful.

its purely a request, not a bug or issue. Entirely depends on contributors

You can use those libraries with react-native-navigation.

I did not get any info how to add those , do you know any boiler plate git link or any docs which I can follow. Searched for 3 days , no solution till.

By the way thanks for replying.

react-native-gesture-handler will need to be installed differently as their doc points out. But react-native-reanimated can just be installed through auto-link so you won't have to do anything really.

As I heard that auto linking works in v5, but now v6 and still does not works

[jinshin1013]

@muhammadwafa What is not working for you? Could you provide more specifics? From a fresh react-native project, running react-native link react-native-navigation will make the required native changes for you. I know the official document doesn't include that autolink but it has been there since V5 release. They are working on updating the documentation.

[muhammadwafa]

For me auto linking does not work, and when I link with react-native link react-native-navigation another error shows which why you linked manually

[jinshin1013]

I've created a PR that fixes the autolink script https://github.com/wix/react-native-navigation/pull/5989. It will still complain that RNN is linked manually but you can ignore that error.

[muhammadwafa]

Thank you, and also please update the installation instructions as I am seeing it is not updated. both for IOS and Android

[jinshin1013]

New documentation is on the way I believe. You can keep your eye on https://github.com/wix/react-native-navigation/issues/5959.
