React-native-router-flux: Build v4 around 'react-navigation' - contributors wanted!

Created on 30 Jan 2017  路  15Comments  路  Source: aksonov/react-native-router-flux

https://reactnavigation.org looks good candidate for new underlying navigation platform.
Some history:
v1 was based on Navigator
v2 was based on exNavigation
v3 was based on react-native-experimental-navigation

Looks like now is time to build v4, react-navigation looks much better than all existing navigators.

I think it's best to contribute to react-navigation directly going forward (with the time spent refactoring RNRF to integrate with the latest react navigation options). It's a never ending cycle of catching up to the latest version/features, and definitely react-navigation is the way forward :)

But what would be the benefit? React-Navigation has routing and Redux-compatibility on board.

Benefit is to leave RNRF syntax as is that is not changed since v1.

I understand. Are there any advantages for absolute beginners too?

Any updates on v4?

@Lenin7 Seems nobody wants to help here.

@MovingGifts I still think that RNRF syntax is better - its syntax/API was not changed during several years.
Let's hope react-navigation will not change and break own API so often as NavigationExperimental did.

Seems like this package isnt dying anytime soon. Might as well catch up with react-navigation while they are still in beta

any updates on v4 using react-navigation ??

I'm researching possible integration but I have very limited time...

Looks like react-navigation is still quite buggy, so I prefer to wait until it will be stabilized.

any update on this? is there going to be a new beta branch opened soon?

IMO RNRF's API is better than react-navigation

Okey, guys, I've prepared some 'draft' for v4 based on latest React Navigation library (1.0.0-beta.11):
https://github.com/aksonov/react-native-router-flux/tree/v4/Example

Many features are still missed, it is very very alpha.
Syntax is preserved almost instead of you must to use Router(...)
Please check it, run 'npm test' from Example folder and run ios project. There are many issues left, but core is done. Feel free to send PR to improve, suggest, etc.

Beta was released #1974, closing this ticket. Contributors still wanted for v4...
