# React Native Navigation
## **Priority: P1 (OPERATIONAL)**
Navigation and deep linking using React Navigation.
## Configure Type-Safe Navigation
- **Library**: Use `@react-navigation/native-stack` for native performance.
- **Type Safety**: Define `RootStackParamList` for all navigators.
- **Deep Links**: Configure `linking` prop in `NavigationContainer`.
- **Validation**: Validate route parameters (`route.params`) before fetching data.
See [routing patterns](references/routing-patterns.md) for type-safe stack setup and deep linking configuration.
## Anti-Patterns
- **No Untyped Navigation**: `navigation.navigate('Unknown')` leads to errors. Use typed params.
- **No Manual URL Parsing**: Use `linking.config`, not manual string parsing.
- **No Unvalidated Deep Links**: Handle invalid IDs gracefully (e.g., redirect to Home/404).
## References
See [references/routing-patterns.md](references/routing-patterns.md) for typed param lists and deep linking config.Related Skills
