React Navigation - this.props.navigation.state is undefined

Question

Using: "@react-navigation/drawer": "^5.4.0", "@react-navigation/native": "^5.1.4",

App.js:

    import { createDrawerNavigator } from '@react-navigation/drawer';
    ...
    const Drawer = createDrawerNavigator();
    const DrawerRender = () => {
    return (
      <NavigationContainer>
        <Drawer.Navigator drawerContent={props => <DrawerContent {...props} />}>
          <Drawer.Screen name="Home" component={Home} />
          <Drawer.Screen name="Screen1" component={Screen1} options={{unmountOnBlur: true, gestureEnabled: false}} />
          <Drawer.Screen name="Screen2" component={Screen2} options={{unmountOnBlur: true, gestureEnabled: false}} />
        </Drawer.Navigator>
      </NavigationContainer>
    );}

From Screen1:

    navigateToPage = page_id => {
      this.closeCommentScreen();
      this.reopenModal = true;
      this.props.navigation.navigate('Screen2', {'page_id': 'testing'});
    }

On Screen2:

    export default class Screen2 extends React.Component {

    constructor(props) {
       super(props);
    }
    componentDidMount() {
       let id = this.props.navigation.state.params.page_id
       ...

I tried printing "this.props.navigation" and it always returns empty dictionary {}, hence params is undefined.

What am I doing wrong?

It's this.props.route.params
