Possible navigation issue in React Native/Redux app

Question

During navigation in big React Native app with using Redux all visited scenes (scenes from navigation stack) are staying mounted. All these scenes receive props and get rendered

Answer 1

I recommend that you calculate the scene distance between the current scene and scene being rendered using the navigation index in the scene and header rendering methods. If the distance > 1 return null.

This should prevent rendering the entire navigation history. It doesn't make any sense to me that this kind of behaviour is not available out of the box, but there it is.
