Expo Router
A file-based routing library for React Native and web applications.
For the complete documentation index, see llms.txt. Use this file to discover all available pages.
expo-router is a routing library for React Native and web apps. It enables navigation management using a file-based routing system and provides native navigation components.
Learn about Expo Router basics, navigation patterns, core concepts, and more.
In SDK 56 and later, Expo Router no longer supports importing from external@react-navigation/*packages in application code. Repoint those imports to the matchingexpo-routerentry points. Run the codemod or follow the SDK 55 to 56 migration guide to update your project.
Installation
To use Expo Router in your project, you need to install. Follow the instructions from the Expo Router's installation guide:
Learn how to install Expo Router in your project.
Configuration in app config
If you are using the default template to create a new project, expo-router's config plugin is already configured in your app config.
Example app.json with config plugin
{ "expo": { "plugins": ["expo-router"] } }

Renders the new react-native-screens/experimental native stack.
Sibling to Stack. Native-only — on web it falls back to the standard Stack.
Opt-in per navigator: replace <Stack /> with <ExperimentalStack /> in the
specific layout you want to migrate.
Type: React.Element<LabelProps>
Type: React.Element<React.FC>
Root style-reset for full-screen React Native web apps with a root <ScrollView /> should use the following styles to ensure native parity. Learn more.
Type: React.Element<React.FC>
Type: React.Element<Omit<NavigatorProps<any>, 'children'>>
Renders the currently selected content.
There are actually two different implementations of <Slot/>:
- Used inside a
_layoutas theNavigator - Used inside a
Navigatoras the content
Since a custom Navigator will set the NavigatorContext.contextKey to
the current _layout, you can use this to determine if you are inside
a custom navigator or not.
Type: React.Element<SuspenseFallbackProps>
Type: React.Element<VectorIconProps<NameT>>
Helper component for loading vector icons.
Prefer using the md and sf props on Icon rather than using this component directly.
Only use this component when you need to load a specific icon from a vector icon family.
Example
import { Icon, VectorIcon } from 'expo-router'; import MaterialCommunityIcons from '@expo/vector-icons/MaterialCommunityIcons'; <Icon src={<VectorIcon family={MaterialCommunityIcons} name="home" />} />
{
getImageSource: (name: NameT, size: number, color: ColorValue) => Promise<ImageSourcePropType | null>
}The family of the vector icon.
Example
import MaterialCommunityIcons from '@expo/vector-icons/MaterialCommunityIcons';
Type: React.Element<StackScreenProps>
Type: React.Element<ScreenProps<TabsProps, TabNavigationState<ParamListBase>, BottomTabNavigationEventMap>>
Type: React.Element<StackScreenBackButtonProps>
Component to configure the back button.
Can be used inside Stack.Screen in a layout or directly inside a screen component.
Example
import { Stack } from 'expo-router'; export default function Layout() { return ( <Stack> <Stack.Screen name="detail"> <Stack.Screen.BackButton displayMode="minimal">Back</Stack.Screen.BackButton> </Stack.Screen> </Stack> ); }
Example
import { Stack } from 'expo-router'; export default function Page() { return ( <> <Stack.Screen.BackButton hidden /> <ScreenContent /> </> ); }
Note: If multiple instances of this component are rendered for the same screen, the last one rendered in the component tree takes precedence.
Deprecated: Use
Stack.Titleinstead.

Hooks
Returns route info for a screen it is called from.
UrlObject | undefined| Parameter | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| effect | EffectCallback | Memoized callback containing the effect, should optionally return a cleanup function. |
| do_not_pass_a_second_prop(optional) | undefined | - |
Hook to run an effect whenever a route is focused. Similar to
React.useEffect, but the effect re-runs
each time the screen comes into focus, and the optional cleanup function runs when the
screen loses focus — not on unmount. This makes it the right primitive for refetching
data, restarting subscriptions, or resetting transient screen state every time a user
returns to the route.
The passed callback should be wrapped in React.useCallback
to avoid running the effect too often.
voidExample
import { useFocusEffect } from 'expo-router'; import { useCallback } from 'react'; export default function Route() { useFocusEffect( // Callback should be wrapped in `React.useCallback` to avoid running the effect too often. useCallback(() => { // Invoked whenever the route is focused. console.log("Hello, I'm focused!"); // Return function is invoked whenever the route gets out of focus. return () => { console.log('This route is now unfocused.'); }; }, []), ); return </>; }
Returns URL parameters for globally selected route, including dynamic path segments. This function updates even when the route is not focused. Useful for analytics or other background operations that don't draw to the screen.
Route URL example: acme://profile/baconbrix?extra=info.
When querying search params in a stack, opt-towards using
useLocalSearchParams because it will only update when the route is focused.
Note: For usage information, see Local versus global search parameters.
RouteOutputParams<TRoute> & TParamsExample
import { Text } from 'react-native'; import { useGlobalSearchParams } from 'expo-router'; export default function Route() { // user=baconbrix & extra=info const { user, extra } = useGlobalSearchParams(); return <Text>User: {user}</Text>; }
Hook to get the current focus state of the screen. Returns a true if screen is focused, otherwise false.
This can be used if a component needs to render something based on the focus state.
booleanReturns the result of the loader function for the calling route.
LoaderFunctionResult<T>Example
import { Text } from 'react-native'; import { useLoaderData } from 'expo-router'; export function loader() { return Promise.resolve({ foo: 'bar' }}; } export default function Route() { const data = useLoaderData<typeof loader>(); // { foo: 'bar' } return <Text>Data: {JSON.stringify(data)}</Text>; }
Returns the URL parameters for the contextually focused route. Useful for stacks where you may push a new screen that changes the query parameters. For dynamic routes, both the route parameters and the search parameters are returned.
Route URL example: acme://profile/baconbrix?extra=info.
To observe updates even when the invoking route is not focused, use useGlobalSearchParams.
Note: For usage information, see Local versus global search parameters.
RouteOutputParams<TRoute> & TParamsExample
import { Text } from 'react-native'; import { useLocalSearchParams } from 'expo-router'; export default function Route() { // user=baconbrix & extra=info const { user, extra } = useLocalSearchParams(); return <Text>User: {user}</Text>; }
| Parameter | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| parent(optional) | string | HrefObject | Provide an absolute path such as |
Returns the navigation object for the current route. Mirrors the React Navigation
navigation object. Use it to
imperatively access layout-specific functionality like navigation.openDrawer() in a
Drawer layout.
TThe navigation object for the current route.
See: The full navigation API is available directly from
expo-router— no@react-navigation/*install required. For the navigator-dependent functions reference, see navigation dependent functions.
Example
import { useNavigation } from 'expo-router'; export default function Route() { // Access the current navigation object for the current route. const navigation = useNavigation(); return ( <View> <Text onPress={() => { // Open the drawer view. navigation.openDrawer(); }}> Open Drawer </Text> </View> ); }
When using nested layouts, you can access higher-order layouts by passing a secondary argument denoting the layout route.
For example, /menu/_layout.tsx is nested inside /app/orders/, you can use useNavigation('/orders/menu/').
Example
import { useNavigation } from 'expo-router'; export default function MenuRoute() { const rootLayout = useNavigation('/'); const ordersLayout = useNavigation('/orders'); // Same as the default results of `useNavigation()` when invoked in this route. const parentLayout = useNavigation('/orders/menu'); }
If you attempt to access a layout that doesn't exist, an error such as
Could not find parent navigation with route "/non-existent" is thrown.
NavigationContainerRefWithCurrent<RootParamList>The root <NavigationContainer /> ref for the app. The ref.current may be null
if the <NavigationContainer /> hasn't mounted yet.
Returns the currently selected route location without search parameters. For example, /acme?foo=bar returns /acme.
Segments will be normalized. For example, /[id]?id=normal becomes /normal.
stringExample
import { Text } from 'react-native'; import { usePathname } from 'expo-router'; export default function Route() { // pathname = "/profile/baconbrix" const pathname = usePathname(); return <Text>Pathname: {pathname}</Text>; }
Deprecated: Use
useNavigationContainerRefinstead, which returns a Reactref.
NavigationContainerRef<RootParamList> | nullReturns the navigation state of the root navigator — the top-level navigator that contains the current screen.
NavigationStateThe current NavigationState of the root navigator.
See: React Navigation's navigation state reference for the shape of the returned object.
Example
import { useRootNavigationState } from 'expo-router'; export default function Route() { const { routes } = useRootNavigationState(); return <Text>{routes[0].name}</Text>; }
Hook to access the route prop of the parent screen anywhere.
TRoute prop of the parent screen.
Hook to get the path for the current route based on linking options.
string | undefinedPath for the current route.
Returns the Router object for imperative navigation.
ImperativeRouterExample
import { useRouter } from 'expo-router'; import { Text } from 'react-native'; export default function Route() { const router = useRouter(); return ( <Text onPress={() => router.push('/home')}>Go Home</Text> ); }
Returns a list of selected file segments for the currently selected route. Segments are not normalized,
so they will be the same as the file path. For example, /[id]?id=normal becomes ["[id]"].
RouteSegments<TSegments>Example
import { Text } from 'react-native'; import { useSegments } from 'expo-router'; export default function Route() { // segments = ["profile", "[user]"] const segments = useSegments(); return <Text>Hello</Text>; }
useSegments can be typed using an abstract. Consider the following file structure:
- app - [user] - index.tsx - followers.tsx - settings.tsx
This can be strictly typed using the following abstract with useSegments hook:
const [first, second] = useSegments<['settings'] | ['[user]'] | ['[user]', 'followers']>()
Returns the server document data for server-side rendering, including <html>/<body>
attributes and additional nodes to add to <head>/<body> for metadata and assets.
ServerDocumentDataExample
import { useServerDocumentContext } from 'expo-router/html'; export default function Root({ children }) { const { htmlAttributes, bodyAttributes, headNodes, bodyNodes } = useServerDocumentContext(); return ( <html {...htmlAttributes}> <head>{headNodes}</head> <body {...bodyAttributes}> {children} {bodyNodes} </body> </html> ); }
SitemapType | nullThemeMethods
| Parameter | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Nav | T | The navigator component to wrap. |
| processor(optional) | (options: ScreenProps[]) => ScreenProps[] | A function that processes the screens before passing them to the navigator. |
| useOnlyUserDefinedScreens(optional) | boolean | If true, all screens not specified as navigator's children will be ignored. Default: false |
Returns a navigator that automatically injects matched routes and renders nothing when there are no children.
Return type with children prop optional.
Enables use of other built-in React Navigation navigators and other navigators built with the React Navigation custom navigator API.

Created by using a special file called +native-intent.tsx at the top-level of your
project's app directory. It exports redirectSystemPath or legacy_subscribe functions,
both methods designed to handle URL/path processing.
Useful for re-writing URLs to correctly target a route when unique/referred URLs are incoming from third-party providers or stale URLs from previous versions.
