Pass Data when Changing Routes in React Native

hey guys,

in the video is missing the moment when we required the "Dashboard.js" in the top "Main.js" file,

// Main.js file
var React = require('react-native');
var api = require('../Utils/api');
var Dashboard = require('./Dashboard');

E

Good catch! Not sure why that's not shown.

When Tyler shows the "This is the dashboard" screen in the simulator, I tried to duplicate it and got an error similar to something like: Invariant Violation string expected but object received. Check the render method of NavigatorIOS.

That's not the exact wording but close. I'm unable to replicate it, but copying Main.js and Dashboard.js from github fixed the issue.

I'm getting the following error message: Invariant Violation: Objects are not valid as a React child (found: object with keys{ --keys here-- }. If you meant to render a collection of children, use an array instead or wrap the object using createFragment(object) from the React add-ons. Check the render method of Text.

I've been trying various solutions, and looking for answers but haven't come up with anything yet. Also, I noticed someone had a similar issue a few months ago and copied the Main and Dashboard files from GitHub and it fixed the issue, however I tried that and had no luck.

Any idea on why this is happening?

I have exactly the same issue. Got the same error message. Seems it's related with <Text> {this.props.userInfo} </Text>, because when I'm removing from Dashboard.js, there is no error message.

I was getting the following error too: 2016-01-04 16:55:42.062 [error][tid:com.facebook.React.RCTExceptionsManagerQueue] Unhandled JS Exception: Invariant Violation: Objects are not valid as a React child (found: object with keys {login, id, avatar_url, gravatar_id, url, html_url, followers_url, following_url, gists_url, starred_url, subscriptions_url, organizations_url, repos_url, events_url, received_events_url, type, site_admin, name, company, blog, location, email, hireable, bio, public_repos, public_gists, followers, following, created_at, updated_at}). If you meant to render a collection of children, use an array instead or wrap the object using createFragment(object) from the React add-ons. Check the render method of Text. 2016-01-04 16:55:42.093 [warn][tid:main][RCTNavigator.m:507] Cannot adjust current top of stack beyond available views

I believe this is due to Text not being able to render an object as text. Changing {this.props.userInfo} to {JSON.stringify(this.props.userInfo)} should fix it

Yup this is a new change to React as of .14 I believe. As you mentioned, JSON.stringify will fix it.

For those trying to follow this using Navigator instead of NavigatorIOS, I use the following renderScene function:

renderScene={(route, navigator) => {
          return <route.component {...route.passProps} navigator={navigator} />;
        }}

This way your code looks pretty much like the one for NavigatorIOS

I'm having Possible Unhandled Promise rejection(id: 0) when I try to search for user. Some hints here? I'm using the Navigator rather than NavigatorIOS.

Had the same problem brotha, glad to see I wasn't the only one! See you at the office :-D

This is my effort to extend the github notetaker app. I updated the code to support latest versions of React and React Native, I also extended the app to use react-navigation which the latest navigation library supporting both iOS and Android. I added Redux to manage the store and used Redux-Sagas to handle asynchronous fetch of data. I would appreciate it if you check it out and give it thumbs up if its helpful. I will continue extending to support more features. https://github.com/ahmedkamohamed/react-native-navigation-redux-sagas
