React Navigation V2: Difference between navigation.push and navigation.navigate

Question

I\'m new to React Native and I\'m currently studying the React Native Navigation Docs. I was wondering: What is the difference between navigation.push() and

Answer 1

According to the last blog post here: for v1:

navigate(routeName) and push(routeName) were very similar: every time you called navigate(routeName) it would push a new route to the stack.

for v2:

Now navigate(routeName) will first try to find an existing instance of the route and jump to that if it exists, otherwise it will push the route to the stack.

navigate > go to instance of page if exist or push a new instance

push > push a new instance even if one exist already
