React Navigation V6: TypeScript vs JavaScript

What are the main differences between using TypeScript and JavaScript with React Navigation V6?

The main differences include type safety, better tooling support, and improved code readability with TypeScript.

Can you give me an example of how to set up a basic navigation in TypeScript?

Sure! In TypeScript, you would define your navigation stack like this:

import { createStackNavigator } from '@react-navigation/stack';

const Stack = createStackNavigator();

function App() {
  return (
    <NavigationContainer>
      <Stack.Navigator>
        <Stack.Screen name="Home" component={HomeScreen} />
        <Stack.Screen name="Details" component={DetailsScreen} />
      </Stack.Navigator>
    </NavigationContainer>
  );
}

What about the advantages of using JavaScript instead?

JavaScript is more flexible and easier for beginners to pick up, plus it has a larger community and more resources.

Which one do you recommend for a new project?

If you're comfortable with TypeScript, I recommend using it for better maintainability. Otherwise, JavaScript is perfectly fine!
