Events

onAppLaunched#

Called once the app is launched. Used to set the initial layout of the Application - after that the app is ready for user interaction.

const appLaunchedListener = Navigation.events().registerAppLaunchedListener(() => {});

RNN automatically unsubscribes components when they unmount, therefore unsubscribing isn't actually mandatory if you subscribed in componentDidMount.

But you can use the following method to unsubscribe manually:

appLaunchedListener.remove();

componentWillAppear#

Called each time before this component appears on the screen (notifies that the component view is about to be added to the view hierarchy).

class MyComponent extends Component {
componentDidMount() {
this.navigationEventListener = Navigation.events().bindComponent(this);
}
componentWillUnmount() {
// Not mandatory
if (this.navigationEventListener) {
this.navigationEventListener.remove();
}
}
componentWillAppear() {}
}

componentDidAppear#

Called each time this component appears on the screen (attached to the view hierarchy).

class MyComponent extends Component {
componentDidMount() {
this.navigationEventListener = Navigation.events().bindComponent(this);
}
componentWillUnmount() {
// Not mandatory
if (this.navigationEventListener) {
this.navigationEventListener.remove();
}
}
componentDidAppear() {}
}

This event can be observed globally as well:

// Subscribe
const screenEventListener = Navigation.events().registerComponentDidAppearListener(({ componentId, componentName, passProps }) => {
});
...
// Unsubscribe
screenEventListener.remove();
ParameterDescription
componentIdId of the appearing component
componentNameRegistered name used when registering the component with Navigation.registerComponent()
passPropsprops passed to the component

componentDidDisappear#

Called each time this component disappears from the screen (detached from the view hierarchy).

class MyComponent extends Component {
componentDidMount() {
this.navigationEventListener = Navigation.events().bindComponent(this);
}
componentWillUnmount() {
// Not mandatory
if (this.navigationEventListener) {
this.navigationEventListener.remove();
}
}
componentDidDisappear() {}
}

This event can be observed globally as well:

// Subscribe
const screenEventListener = Navigation.events().registerComponentDidDisappearListener(({ componentId, componentName }) => {
});
...
// Unsubscribe
screenEventListener.remove();
ParameterDescription
componentIdId of the disappearing component
componentNameRegistered name used when registering the component with Navigation.registerComponent()

registerCommandCompletedListener#

Invoked when a command finishes executing in native. If the command contains animations, for example pushed screen animation, the listener is invoked after the animation ends.

...
// Unsubscribe
commandCompletedListener.remove();

// Subscribe
const modalDismissedListener = Navigation.events().registerModalDismissedListener(({ componentId, modalsDismissed }) => {
});
...

registerBottomTabSelectedListener#

Invoked when BottomTab is selected by a user.

// Subscribe
const bottomTabEventListener = Navigation.events().registerBottomTabSelectedListener(({ selectedTabIndex, unselectedTabIndex }) => {
});
...

class MyComponent extends Component {
componentDidMount() {
this.navigationEventListener = Navigation.events().bindComponent(this);
}
componentWillUnmount() {
// Unregistering listeners bound to components isn't mandatory since RNN handles the unregistration for you
if (this.navigationEventListener) {
this.navigationEventListener.remove();
}
}
navigationButtonPressed({ buttonId }) {}
}

This event can be observed globally as well:

// Subscribe
const navigationButtonEventListener = Navigation.events().registerNavigationButtonPressedListener(({ buttonId }) => {

...
// Unsubscribe
navigationButtonEventListener.remove();
ParameterDescription
buttonIdbuttonId: id of the pressed button

searchBarUpdated (iOS 11+ only)#
