Expo Router v55: more native navigation, more powerful web
Blog post from Expo
Expo Router v55 introduces significant updates to enhance the native feel and web capabilities of applications built with React Native, incorporating a new Stack API, native tabs, dynamic colors, toolbars, and experimental server-side rendering (SSR) and data loaders. This version aims to unify app development by allowing developers to write code once and have it function seamlessly across both mobile and web platforms. The new Stack API offers declarative control over native UI elements like headers and toolbars, while native tabs and dynamic colors enhance user interface customization. The update also advances web capabilities with the integration of expo-server for runtime server APIs, configurable server headers, and experimental features such as SSR for improved SEO and dynamic content delivery. Furthermore, the introduction of a split view feature expands the app's usability on larger screens, such as iPads. Despite some APIs being experimental, Expo Router v55 represents a step forward in creating cohesive, native-like experiences across diverse platforms.
