React-Native-Modal-Data-Passing

This repository contains the example code that complements the Medium article titled "React Native Notes 34: Seamless Data Passing to React-Native-Modal". The project demonstrates the use of the useImperativeHandle hook to pass data to a modal with react-native-modal.

Overview

In this example, we showcase a pattern for dynamically updating the content of a modal in a React Native application. By leveraging the useImperativeHandle hook along with forwardRef, we enable parent components to invoke methods on the modal component's ref, allowing for the passing of data directly before the modal is made visible.
