@SEthX I added the events here but I am still trying to figure out how to emit the pop event when you swipe to go back. Any ideas?

goBackwards ?

@ericraio You're saying that adding an emitter to onBack doesn't do the trick?

Ah i see what's going on.
Seems that the "back" swipe is handled directly by the Navigator.
this.navigationContext.emit('willfocus', {route: route}); is how this occurs, in Navigator.js .

EventEmitter.js is what is actually the emitter implementation.
I hope this works with fbemitter, if not we should switch this to using the emitter provided by RN instead of fbemitter.

@charpeni @ericraio On second thought I've been having issues with fbemitter lately, mainly because it also is included by "flux" , but at a 0.1 alpha something version, which breaks my local packer.
So how about we just switch to the emitter used by RN instead?
The emitter implementation can be found here: react-native/Libraries/vendor/emitter/EventEmitter.js

What the router can then do, is listen to this emitted event, and emit an event itself, essentially becoming the main emitter for routing/navigation.

Thoughts?

Merging this and will implement the change for this myself.
