NavigationContext

NavigationContext provides the navigation object (same object as the navigation prop). In fact, useNavigation uses this context to get the navigation prop.

Most of the time, you won't use NavigationContext directly, as the provided useNavigation covers most use cases. But just in case you have something else in mind, NavigationContext is available for you to use.

Example:

import { NavigationContext } from '@react-navigation/native';

class SomeComponent extends React.Component {
  static contextType = NavigationContext;

  render() {
    // We can access navigation object via context
    const navigation = this.context;
  }
}
