Using React Navigation instead of Expo Router

Hola hola,

If you're looking to use React Navigation instead of Expo Router, then this quick guide should be helpful.

There are two steps:

  1. Update the main prop of your package.json to point to your new entry file 
{
  "name": "pcexpo",
  "main": "./src/App.tsx",
  "version": "1.0.0",
  ...
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

2.Export your entry file using the registerRootComponent provided by Expo.

import React from 'react';
import { registerRootComponent } from 'expo';
import { View, Text, StyleSheet } from 'react-native';

export const App = () => {
  return (
    <View style={styles.container}>
      <Text style={styles.text}>Welcome to my App!</Text>
    </View>
  );
}

const styles = StyleSheet.create({
  container: {
    flex: 1,
    backgroundColor: '#fff',
    alignItems: 'center',
    justifyContent: 'center',
  },
  text: {
    fontSize: 20,
    fontWeight: 'bold',
  },
});

export default registerRootComponent(App);
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

That should be all you need!
