React native – Do you have a screen named 'home'? React Navigation Error

I am trying to setup React Navigation to my React Native project but when i do navigation.navigate(‘home’, data ) in my "LoginEnterVerificationCode" Screen in react native
i get this error "Do you have a screen named ‘home’?" i double check my imports and i have a correct file name Home.tsx in my project Can you please me to fix fix the problem?

Also when i do <Stack.Screen name=’home’ component={Home} /> in the AuthStack.js file then it work fine? but why its not working in TabRoutes file since home screen is a bottom navigation screen

AuthStack.js:

import React from 'react';
import YourName from '../Screens/Auth/YourName';
import YourEmail from '../Screens/Auth/YourEmail';
import LoginEnterVerificationCode from '../Screens/Auth/LoginEnterVerificationCode';

export default function (Stack) {
    return (
        <>
            <Stack.Screen name='enteryourname' component={YourName} />
            <Stack.Screen name='enteryouremail' component={YourEmail} />
            <Stack.Screen name='loginenterverificationcode' component={LoginEnterVerificationCode} />
        </>
    )
}

MainStack.js

import React from 'react';
import TabRoutes from './TabRoutes';

export default function (Stack) {
    return (
        <>
            <Stack.Screen name='tabroutes' component={TabRoutes} />
        </>
    )
}

TapRoutes.js:

import * as React from 'react';
import { createBottomTabNavigator } from '@react-navigation/bottom-tabs';
import Home from '../Screens/Main/Home/Home';
import Profile from '../Screens/Main/Profiles/Profile';

const Tab = createBottomTabNavigator();

export default function TabRoutes() {
    return (
        <Tab.Navigator screenOptions={{headerShown:false}}>
            <Tab.Screen
                name='home'
                component={Home}
                options={{
                    tabBarIcon: ({ focused }) => {
                        return <></>
                    }
                }}
            />
            <Tab.Screen
                name='profile'
                component={Profile}
                options={{
                    tabBarIcon: ({ focused }) => {
                        return <></>
                    }
                }}
            />
        </Tab.Navigator>

    );
}

Routes.js:

import * as React from 'react';
import { NavigationContainer } from '@react-navigation/native';
import { createNativeStackNavigator } from '@react-navigation/native-stack';
import AuthStack from './AuthStack';
import MainStack from './MainStack';

const Stack = createNativeStackNavigator();

function Routes() {
  const userData = 'dd'

  return (
    <NavigationContainer>
      <Stack.Navigator screenOptions={{headerShown:false}}>
        {!!userData?.userData?._id?<>{MainStack(Stack)}</>:<>{AuthStack(Stack)}</>}
      </Stack.Navigator>
    </NavigationContainer>
  );
}

export default Routes;

I also tried this:

import * as React from 'react';
import { NavigationContainer } from '@react-navigation/native';
import { createNativeStackNavigator } from '@react-navigation/native-stack';
import AuthStack from './AuthStack';
import YourName from '../Screens/Auth/YourName';
import YourEmail from '../Screens/Auth/YourEmail';
import LoginEnterVerificationCode from '../Screens/Auth/LoginEnterVerificationCode';
import TabRoutes from './TabRoutes';

const Stack = createNativeStackNavigator();

function Routes() {
  const userData = '';

  return (
    <NavigationContainer>
      <Stack.Navigator screenOptions={{ headerShown: false }}>
        {!!userData ? (
          <>
            <Stack.Screen name="tabroutes" component={TabRoutes} />
          </>
        ) : (
          <>
            <Stack.Screen name="enteryourname" component={YourName} />
            <Stack.Screen name="enteryouremail" component={YourEmail} />
            <Stack.Screen
              name="loginenterverificationcode"
              component={LoginEnterVerificationCode}
            />
          </>
        )}
      </Stack.Navigator>
    </NavigationContainer>
  );
}

export default Routes;

    The problem, I guess, is not in a way you’re importing your screens but how you define your stack & tab routes. In your Routes.js you have a line, which should check if user has some sort of credentials or not, as far as I know:

    {!!userData?.userData?._id?<>{MainStack(Stack)}</>:<>{AuthStack(Stack)}</>}

    A rendered navigator will be constantly the same: AuthStack(Stack) because there’s no such object as userData, just a const-ant variable with dd value. The only navigator which handles home screen is a Tab navigator which is located inside MainStack, which is not rendered because of reasons described above. You just didn’t mount your Tab navigator, only a Stack navigator and thus you can’t navigate to your home and profile screens.

    If you’re interested in how auth is done, there’s an offical guide here from React Navigation docs.

    You are conditionally rendering the screens in the Routes.js file. The error "Do you have a screen named ‘home’?" occurs when you try to navigate to the ‘home’ screen, but the navigation system can’t find a screen with that name in the navigation stack.

    In your Routes.js file, you are using a conditional rendering approach to decide whether to show the AuthStack or the MainStack, based on the existence of userData. However, the userData variable is currently just an empty string (”). It should represent a valid object with the property userData._id to indicate that the user is logged in.

    To resolve the issue, make sure that you are passing the correct userData with a valid object to the Routes component. For example, you could use a dummy user data object for testing purposes:

    // Sample user data for testing (replace this with your actual user data)
const userData = {
  userData: {
    _id: 'some_user_id',
  },
};

// ... Rest of your code ...

function Routes() {
  // const userData = ''; // Comment this out or remove it
  // Instead, use the dummy user data
  // const userData = {
  //   userData: {
  //     _id: 'some_user_id',
  //   },
  // };

  return (
    <NavigationContainer>
      <Stack.Navigator screenOptions={{ headerShown: false }}>
        {!!userData?.userData?._id ? (
          <>
            <Stack.Screen name="tabroutes" component={TabRoutes} />
          </>
        ) : (
          <>
            <Stack.Screen name="enteryourname" component={YourName} />
            <Stack.Screen name="enteryouremail" component={YourEmail} />
            <Stack.Screen
              name="loginenterverificationcode"
              component={LoginEnterVerificationCode}
            />
          </>
        )}
      </Stack.Navigator>
    </NavigationContainer>
  );
}

    By providing valid user data with an _id property, the conditional rendering should work correctly, and the ‘home’ screen (part of the TabRoutes) should be accessible without any errors.

    Remember to replace the userData variable with the actual user data retrieved from your authentication system when implementing this in your application.
