React Native Navigation Syntax

What is the difference between using navigation.navigate() and navigation.dispatch(CommonAction.navigate()) in React Native?

Solution

  • The docs explanation is:

    The dispatch method lets us send a navigation action object which determines how the navigation state will be updated. All of the navigation functions like navigate use dispatch behind the scenes.

    https://reactnavigation.org/docs/navigation-prop/#dispatch

    AFAIK there is no real difference between using actions and navigate
