NavigationContext

NavigationContext provides the navigation object (same object as the navigation prop). In fact, useNavigation uses this context to get the navigation prop.

Most of the time, you won't use NavigationContext directly, as the provided useNavigation covers most use cases. But just in case you have something else in mind, NavigationContext is available for you to use.

Example:

Static

import { NavigationContext } from '@react-navigation/native';

function SomeComponent() {
  // We can access navigation object via context
  const navigation = React.useContext(NavigationContext);

Try on Snack

Dynamic

import { NavigationContext } from '@react-navigation/native';

function SomeComponent() {
  // We can access navigation object via context
  const navigation = React.useContext(NavigationContext);
