Understanding the Issue with React Navigation's defaultNavigationOptions

If you're working with react-navigation @ 4.0.5 and react-navigation-stack @ 1.8.0, you may have stumbled upon a common problem: trying to use hooks within the defaultNavigationOptions for the createStackNavigator method. Many developers have faced the issue where their header component fails to utilize hooks like useState, leading to confusion and frustration.

In this post, we'll walk through the problem, understand why it happens, and look at a solution that can help you get your header component working as intended.

The Problem: Hooks and Header Components

When you set the defaultNavigationOptions in createStackNavigator, you might be inclined to create a header component that uses React hooks. However, you may encounter the following error message:

This error highlights three possibilities:

Mismatched versions of React and React Native.

Breaking the Rules of Hooks.

Having multiple copies of React in the same application.

While you've likely checked for these issues, the root cause often lies in how the header is being defined and rendered in defaultNavigationOptions.

Why This Happens: Rendering Functional Components

When you specify the header directly within the defaultNavigationOptions, it doesn't render your header as a functional component where hooks can run properly. Here's the crucial line of code from the createStackNavigator:

In this setup, React doesn’t recognize Header as a callable function component, which leads to the hook-related error.

The Solution: Using JSX Syntax in defaultNavigationOptions

To fix this issue, you can modify the header property to use JSX syntax. Instead of referencing your Header component directly, you should render it like this:

Important Note: Passing Navigation Props

Keep in mind that navigation props won’t be automatically passed to your Header component using the JSX syntax above. To solve this issue, you should modify it to pass the necessary props:

This allows your functional component to utilize the navigation props while still having access to hooks.

Conclusion

These adjustments should enable your header component to use hooks without any problems. Remember, the key takeaway is rendering your header as a JSX element so that it behaves appropriately as a functional component.

I hope this solution helps you tackle the issue of using hooks in your header component. If you have any other questions or run into further challenges, feel free to leave a comment!
