Resolving the Unable to Nest Navigators in React Native Issue

When developing applications in React Native, one common problem developers encounter is nesting navigators. Nesting navigators allows for creating complex navigation flows but can lead to issues if not set up correctly. In this guide, we’ll explore a specific problem related to nesting navigators using React Navigation, and we’ll provide a clear solution to get your application running smoothly.

The Problem

Recently, a developer faced an issue while attempting to nest a bottom tab navigator within a stack navigator. The error encountered was:

This error generally arises due to incorrect component or functional definitions passed to the navigator. In this scenario, the developer was attempting to use an async function for the tabs navigator. Let’s take a deeper look at the code to understand the issue.

Code Overview

Here's a simplified version of the code that was producing the error:

The Solution

The error is primarily due to the use of an async function for the Tabs component. React Navigation requires that the component passed to the navigator be a valid functional component, and making it asynchronous violates this requirement.

Step 1: Modify the Tabs Component

To resolve the issue, you must change the declaration of the Tabs component from an async function to a standard functional component. The adjustment is straightforward:

Step 2: Test Your Application

After making this change, your main App component should work correctly, allowing for seamless navigation between the Login screen, ConnectionList stack, and the nested Tabs.

Conclusion

Nesting navigators in React Native can be tricky, especially when it involves multiple layers of navigation. However, issues such as these can usually be resolved with a few simple adjustments to your component structures. In this case, switching from an async to a regular functional component for the Tabs navigator fixed the issue.
