how the get the current route key

[musicode]

route key' format is like id-1489246424348-0, it is useful with goBack(key)

but how can i get the key?

[junshengpierre]

You access it with this.props.navigation.state.key in your screen component.

[musicode]

@junshengpierre this.props.navigation.state.key is not the runtime key

[junshengpierre]

@musicode Are you sure you are passing the right key? Passing a key into this.props.navigation.goBack() brings you back from the route of the key.

this.props.navigation.goBack(screen1Key) brings you to screen0.
this.props.navigation.goBack(screen5Key) brings you to screen4.

Could it be that you are passing screen4Key thinking that it will navigate to screen4?

@junshengpierre has the right answers here

@junshengpierre

the stack is like A -> form screen -> form result screen, if the current screen is form result, when i press back, i want to skip form screen, back to the A directly.

how can i do that?

Cannot access with navigation.state.key (maybe since update). Ended up doing this kinda knarly solution. I needed this to set active state on tab bar. Not exactly sure what the difference is between key and route name.

const { state } = navigation;
const currentRouteKey = state.routes[state.index].key;

[ollyde]

navigation.state.routes[state.index].key;

Navigator has no property 'routes'

I'm experiencing the same as @voidstarfire. No routes in the navigation state.

+1 no routes in the navigation state, how can I get the routes?
by onNavigationStateChange?

[shettayyy]

The state doesn't have routes or index.

Is there any solutions for this problem ? I think it confuses a lot of people, cause the function of getting current routes or index is important for us.
