Navigation and Routing Architecture

Design a clean, scalable navigation layer for your mobile app using stacks, tabs, deep links, and route guards that keep flows predictable as the app grows.

Navigation Is Architecture

How users move through your app is a core architectural concern, not an afterthought. A messy navigation layer leaks state and breaks the back button.

This lesson covers patterns that keep flows predictable.

The Navigation Stack

Mobile navigation is built on a stack: pushing a screen adds it on top, going back pops it off.

  • Push: go deeper
  • Pop: go back
  • Replace: swap the top screen

The stack mirrors the user's mental history.
