i have a question regard grabbing the data in the previous screen after calling the router.back()
in current screen.
Let say i have Screen A and B. i used router.push()
to go from screen A -> B
after i finish editing in Screen B, i want to go back to Screen A with some data that i would like to pass back to Screen A.
what i used to do is
router.back();
router.setParams({
newValue: xxx
});
Then in Screen A i use the useLocalSearchParams<{newValue: string}>();
to get the data passed from Screen B -> Screen A
after a recent pacakage update, this method no longer work. i am not seeing the newValue in localSearchParam
anymore. but i can still see the newValue in GlobalSearchParams
my question is : am i doing to right thing to pass data back using setParams is there any other recommend approach? and is it the right thing to use GlobalSearchParams
instead of localSearchParam
expo version: 53.0.20 expo router version: 5.1.4
the best solution i found:
router.dismissTo({
pathname:xxx
params:{...}
})
