NavigatorIOS

NavigatorIOS wraps UIKit navigation and allows you to add back-swipe functionality across your app.

Routes #

A route is an object used to describe each page in the navigator. The first route is provided to NavigatorIOS as initialRoute:

render: function() { return ( <NavigatorIOS initialRoute={{ component: MyView, title: 'My View Title', passProps: { myProp: 'foo' }, }} /> ); },

Now MyView will be rendered by the navigator. It will recieve the route object in the route prop, a navigator, and all of the props specified in passProps.

See the initialRoute propType for a complete definition of a route.

Navigator #

A navigator is an object of navigation functions that a view can call. It is passed as a prop to any component rendered by NavigatorIOS.

var MyView = React.createClass({ _handleBackButtonPress: function() { this.props.navigator.pop(); }, _handleNextButtonPress: function() { this.props.navigator.push(nextRoute); }, ... });

A navigation object contains the following functions:

  • push(route) - Navigate forward to a new route
  • pop() - Go back one page
  • popN(n) - Go back N pages at once. When N=1, behavior matches pop()
  • replace(route) - Replace the route for the current page and immediately load the view for the new route
  • replacePrevious(route) - Replace the route/view for the previous page
  • replacePreviousAndPop(route) - Replaces the previous route/view and transitions back to it
  • resetTo(route) - Replaces the top item and popToTop
  • popToRoute(route) - Go back to the item for a particular route object
  • popToTop() - Go back to the top item

Navigator functions are also available on the NavigatorIOS component:

var MyView = React.createClass({ _handleNavigationRequest: function() { this.refs.nav.push(otherRoute); }, render: () => ( <NavigatorIOS ref="nav" initialRoute={...} /> ), });

Edit on GitHubProps #

barTintColor string #

The background color of the navigation bar

initialRoute {component: function, title: string, passProps: object, backButtonIcon: Image.propTypes.source, backButtonTitle: string, leftButtonIcon: Image.propTypes.source, leftButtonTitle: string, onLeftButtonPress: function, rightButtonIcon: Image.propTypes.source, rightButtonTitle: string, onRightButtonPress: function, wrapperStyle: [object Object]} #

NavigatorIOS uses "route" objects to identify child views, their props, and navigation bar configuration. "push" and all the other navigation operations expect routes to be like this:

itemWrapperStyle View#style #

The default wrapper style for components in the navigator. A common use case is to set the backgroundColor for every page

navigationBarHidden bool #

A Boolean value that indicates whether the navigation bar is hidden

shadowHidden bool #

A Boolean value that indicates whether to hide the 1px hairline shadow

tintColor string #

The color used for buttons in the navigation bar

titleTextColor string #

The text color of the navigation bar title

translucent bool #

A Boolean value that indicates whether the navigation bar is translucent
