How can I handle errors in React Navigation v5?

In React Navigation v5, you can handle errors by using the onError prop in your navigators. This allows you to catch navigation errors.

Can you give me an example of how to implement that?

Sure! You can wrap your navigator in a try-catch block and use the onError prop like this:

<NavigationContainer onError={(e) => console.error(e)}>
  {/* Your navigators here */}
</NavigationContainer>

What types of errors can I expect to handle?

You might encounter errors like invalid routes, missing screens, or issues with deep linking. It's good to log these errors for debugging.

Is there a way to show a user-friendly message when an error occurs?

Yes! You can set up a state to manage error messages and display a modal or alert when an error is caught.
