How to Pass a Selected Object from an Array in Firestore to Another Class in React Native

Creating efficient navigation in mobile applications can sometimes present challenges, especially when we want to pass specific data between screens. If you're working with arrays of objects in Firestore, you might encounter a scenario where you need to pass a specific object to a detail view based on user interaction. In this guide, we’ll tackle a common problem faced by React Native developers—how to pass an object from an array to another class. Let’s break down the solution step-by-step.

The Problem

Imagine you have a collection of user posts retrieved from Firestore, and you want to display them in a list. When a user taps on a particular post, you want to navigate them to a detail screen for that specific post. However, you might find that all posts are being sent to the detail screen instead of just the selected one. The goal is to ensure that only the object corresponding to the tapped post is passed to the detail component.

Here’s a key part of your React Native code that may be causing the issue:

This line is triggering navigation with item, but since item may represent the entire array, you need to modify how you're passing the parameters.

The Solution

To ensure you pass only the selected object to the detail screen, you will need to make a couple of adjustments in both your onPress method and your detail component. Let’s go through these changes step-by-step.

Step 1: Update the onPress Method

Instead of passing the entire item object directly, you can use the spread operator to create a specific structure for the navigation params. Here’s how you can modify your onPress method:

Step 2: Adjust the Detail Component

Now, upon receiving the data in your detail component, you need to make sure you correctly access the incoming params. Update your state initialization like this:

Step 3: Simplify Data Access

In your render method of the detail component, you can simplify how you access the data. Instead of looping through Object.keys(item.post), you can directly use item.post. Here’s an improved portion of your code for rendering the detail:

Conclusion

By incorporating these changes, you'll be able to navigate to the detail screen with just the selected post, ensuring a smooth user experience. Managing data between components in React Native can certainly be tricky, but with the right adjustments, it can be quite straightforward. If you're facing similar challenges, feel free to follow the steps outlined in this guide. Happy coding!
