1. Introduction

This project aims to expose native navigation container components to React Native. It is not designed to be used as a standalone library but rather as a dependency of a full-featured navigation library.

2. Objective

Native navigation primitives for your React Native app.

This project demonstrates how TypeScript, React Native can be applied to a real-world Mobile App Development problem.
