Simplifying auth flows in Expo Router with protected routes
Blog post from Expo
Expo SDK 53 introduces protected routes to Expo Router, enabling developers to manage authentication flows more efficiently within their app's navigation structure. This feature allows developers to control screen access directly in layout files based on user authentication status using Stack.Protected and Tabs.Protected components. By setting a guard prop, developers can specify whether a screen should be accessible, and if navigation to a guarded screen is attempted, it will fail silently or redirect to the next available screen. This approach streamlines the management of logged in and logged out views, allowing for the nesting of protected routes and the conditional display of elements like bottom tabs and modals, thus aligning the navigation structure more closely with app logic. The changes aim to simplify codebases by eliminating the need for complex redirects and providing a declarative way to define authentication flows.
