Passing Data to Routes in React Native
Think of it like passing arguments to a function. When you navigate to a new screen, you give it the data it needs, like a product ID. This is key for master-detail views. The footgun: only pass JSON-serializable data to avoid breaking state persistence.
Think of passing route parameters like passing arguments to a function. When you navigate to a new screen, you're 'calling' it and can provide the data it needs to display, like a product ID from a list. This is the standard way to build master-detail flows. The main footgun is passing non-JSON-serializable data like functions; this breaks important features like state persistence and deep linking, so stick to simple objects, strings, and numbers.
