React Native Navigator undefined when clicking a link-CodePudding

Fairly new to React and just following along to YouTube tutorials where I can. Having an issue with a navigation bar that I've imported into a screen. Clicking on any of the links results in an 'undefined' error.

My environment is

React Native
Android Development Studio (With simulator)
VSCode to develop

Here are my files

App.js

import React, from 'react';
import { StyleSheet } from 'react-native';

// Menu and Navigation
import { NavigationContainer } from '@react-navigation/native';
import Navigator from './Screens/AppNavigator';

export default function App() {
  return (
       <NavigationContainer>
          <Navigator /> 
       </NavigationContainer>
  );
};

AppNavigator.js

import { createStackNavigator } from '@react-navigation/stack';
import HomeScreen  from './HomeScreen';
import ProfileScreen from './ProfileScreen';

export default function AppNavigator() {
  const Stack = createStackNavigator();
  return (
    <Stack.Navigator initialRouteName='Home'>
      <Stack.Screen name="Home" component={HomeScreen}  options={{ headerShown: false }} />
      <Stack.Screen name="Profile" component={ProfileScreen} options={{ headerShown: false }} />
    </Stack.Navigator>
  );
};

ProfileScreen.js - This has the content and the Navigation bar imported onto it.

import React, { useState } from 'react';
import { View, Text, Image, Button, TextInput } from 'react-native';
import ScreenStyles from './ScreenStyles';
import NavBar from '../components/NavBar/NavBar';

export default function ProfileScreen() {
  return (
    <View style={ScreenStyles.ScreenFramework}>
      <View style={ScreenStyles.ScreenContainer}>
        <View style={{ padding: 30 }}>
          <Text style={ScreenStyles.ScreenTitle}>Your Profile Page</Text>
        </View>
      </View>
      <View style={ScreenStyles.NavBarContainer}>
          <NavBar />
      </View>
    </View>
  );
};

NavBar.js - When clicking a link, it throws an error 'Cannot read property 'navigate' of undefined'

import React from 'react';
import { View, Text, Image, TouchableOpacity } from 'react-native';
import styles from './NavbarStyle';

export default function NavBar({ navigation }) {
  return (
    <View style={styles.NavBarContainer}>
        <View style={styles.ImageContainer}>
        <TouchableOpacity onPress={() => navigation.navigate('Home')}>
          <View style={styles.ImageIcon}>
            <Image
              style={{ width: 40, height: 40 }}
              source={require('./img/home.png')} />
          </View>
        </TouchableOpacity>
        </View>
        <View style={styles.ImageContainer}>
          <TouchableOpacity onPress={() => navigation.navigate('Profile')}>
            <View style={styles.ImageIcon}>
              <Image
                style={{ width: 40, height: 40 }}
                source={require('./img/profile.png')} />
            </View>
          </TouchableOpacity>
        </View>
    </View>
  );
}

I am wondering what I can do to resolve this issue?

CodePudding user response：

You need either to pass navigation as a prop in <NavBar /> or use a hook as stated here
