How to use Shared Element Transition with React Navigation v5
Blog post from LogRocket
The text details the process of implementing Shared Element Transitions in a React Native app using the React Navigation library. These transitions enhance user experience by maintaining continuity between different views, focusing on shared elements like images, icons, and text. The guide provides a step-by-step approach to setting up a new project with necessary prerequisites, including installing libraries such as react-navigation and react-native-shared-element. It explains how to create HomeScreen and DetailScreen components, where shared elements are defined and animated during transitions. The use of the <SharedElement> component facilitates smooth transitions, while configurations in the DetailScreen component enable animations like move and fade. The process involves setting up a navigation flow with createSharedElementStackNavigator and employing Animatable for delayed animations, such as fading in and out elements like the back button. The tutorial concludes by recommending further exploration of the official documentation and provides additional resources for monitoring React Native apps with LogRocket.
