What are the best practices for using React Navigation with TypeScript?

When using React Navigation with TypeScript, it's important to define your navigation types clearly. This includes creating type definitions for your routes and parameters.

Can you give me an example of how to define route types?

Sure! You can create a type for your routes like this: type RootStackParamList = { Home: undefined; Details: { itemId: number }; }; This helps TypeScript understand the parameters for each route.

How do I use these types in my navigation setup?

You can use these types with the NavigationContainer and createStackNavigator functions. For example, you can type your navigator like this: const Stack = createStackNavigator<RootStackParamList>();.

What about handling deep linking?

For deep linking, you can define a linking configuration that maps your app's URL paths to your route names. This can be done using the linking prop in NavigationContainer.
