currentScene is not showing the currently mounted screens key

[SourceCipher]

Version

Tell us which versions you are using:

• react-native-router-flux 4.0.0-beta.40
• react-native 0.55.4

Expected behaviour

If opening the screen with the key 'main', currentScene should show the main screens key

Actual behaviour

If the screen opens with the key 'main' it should show this key in currentScene, but it shows the previous screens key which main was mounted from

@SourceCipher Could you reproduce this issue with Example project? The main difference between current RNRF version and older is that currentScene is set AFTER component is mounted/rendered (because React Navigation does that). So for custom navbars you have to read currentScene from actual navigation.state (because it is passed before rendering), not Actions.currentScene

[aksonov]

You may also check ReduxExample, how it renders 'current scene' (as name prop):

react-native-router-flux/ReduxExample/src/home.js

Line 11 in 7d4d288

<Text style={styles.text}>Current scene: "{this.props.name}"</Text>

@aksonov I am using mobx but I dont think adding with observables is a good idea. I will try using navigation.state even tho not really sure how to implement it :/ But using Actions.currentScene on componentDidMount is still showing the wrong scene tho

[aksonov]

For mobx it is even easier (we are using it) - just create simple mobx store navStore and with one observable scene and setScene action, then pass onStateChange param to Router:

<Router onStateChange={() => navStore.setScene(Actions.currentScene)}>...</Router>

and then you can observe navStore from your components and use navStore.scene

@aksonov oh I see.. I think I can do that with the mobx the same way as well

Updated: Your solution worked after I used this with Mobx. Well done

Thank you @SourceCipher for letting us know that the solution provided worked. Closing this one.

If you implement onEnter event in the scene, the currentScene updates correctly.
