Solution

  • Better way is to useNavigation and useRoute from React Navigation.


    Step-by-step changes

    import { useNavigation, useRoute } from '@react-navigation/native';
    
    const navigation = useNavigation();
    const route = useRoute();
    
    const { id } = route.params
    

    Full Example

    import React from 'react';
    ...
    import { useNavigation, useRoute } from '@react-navigation/native';
    
    /*
    Navigate to this screen by
    navigation.navigate('MenuDetailScreen', {
       id: <ID_VALUE_HERE>
    })
    */
    const MenuDetailScreen = () => {
      const navigation = useNavigation();
      const route = useRoute();
      const { id } = route.params
    
      const dish = dishesData.find(
        (dish) => dish.id === id
      );
    
      return (
        ...
      )
    }
    

    Once you get it working, I recommend you to go over Type checking with TypeScript for safely navigating between screens in React.
