Hello there.
So, if you are here you probably saw my previous tweet where I asked for tips & tricks on improving the timing on an iOS/React Native app build time.
What will follow was how I mixed those suggestions + some good old GoogleSearch-fu + me deep diving on this for ~2 days.
React Native is great product but lacks for stable, intuitive and easy navigation API during many years. Every year we see new, better API: Native Navigator, ex-Navigator, NavigationExperimental, ex-Navigation, wix native navigation, airbnb native navigation, ReactNavigation...
Once I've started React Native development, in 2015, I created RNRF - simple API for easy navigation. It was clear that better navigation instruments will come later but I didn't want to change my code again and again to switch for better API. Every new major version of RNRF is based on different navigation framework and mostly preserves own API.
Another goal was to represent all navigation flow within one place in clear, human-readable way - similar to iOS Storyboards concept. This way other engineers could understand your app flow faster.
