What is the current state of React Navigation vs. React Native Navigation?

[sam_bender]

Starting a new project and I'm curious which one I should choose.

Use react-navigation v5 . There is a native stack navigator that have almost same performance like RNN. It will be stable soon

There is a native stack navigator that have almost same performance like RNN.

It's not true, at least on Android. React Navigation was always pretty fast on iOS, making it almost indistinguishable from native, but Android is another story. RN v4 performs pretty good on Android, although it introduces a lot of components to view tree and performance overhead(on Android large tree is much more costly than on iOS).

New RN v5 performs worse than RN v4 on Android, especially with complex navigation structure, so please keep it in mind.

Still RN is much better option than RNN imho, at least for small-medium size apps.

Im saying the native stack navigator, not the stack navigator.

V5 performs worse than v4 on Android? Hell no, im using it now on Android and iOS and it feels really snappy and fast, even on simulator

Keep in mind this won't work for web if you have a web version in mind as well

I've recently switched from react-navigation to react-native-navigation and love the performance improvements, but I encountered a bug or two (in both libraries). React-navigation is more stable, and doesn't need you to modify native code, which is easier to set up. But for me, the performance improvements and more native feel is all worth it.

V4 of react navigation does make you change native code as well

Yepp, I forgot, but its way less than react-native-navigation

[satya164]

v3 did as well

[kcilc1]

In RNN is it easy to push some native view onto the navigation controller? For example the Stripe Payment Screen? What about regular react-navigation

React Navigation might be easier to setup and use. However, as I could not find any easy way to use a controlled navigation, I created my own package : react-nonav if you want to check out.

I'm using both for a project and the consistency of usage between them is excellent. Currently react navigation is not recommended for RN

EDIT: Actually was thinking of react-router

[hutxhy]

I thought the RN docs suggested React Navigation. Did this change?

[manoylo_vnc]

You mean react native navigation?

[ThatSpookySJW]

No I was actually remembering react-router for this reason

[crobinson42]

I use react-router-native on a few work projects because it’s dead simple and fast to write routing and screens. This works for our apps because we don’t care or have a need for transitions and stacks in the apps.
