React Navigation Nested Stacks, accessing Root stack

Question

Is there a way to access a root stack navigator from an inner stack navigator? For example:

const Root = StackNavigator(
{
  Login: {
      screen: Login,
    },
    TabNav: {
      screen: TabNav    
    }
}
);

const TabNav = TabNavigator(
  {
    Content: {
      screen: Content,
    },
    Settings: {
      screen: SettingsStack
    }
  }
);

Within that SettingsStack screen I have a logout button. How would I access the Root Stack to navigate back to Login? Rather than that inner stack in the Tab Navigation just pushing to the login page within the child stack.

@bob from TabNav in StackNavigator pass a function as a screenProp to TabNavigator . Now whenever you want to logout call that function — Ayush Bansal

Would I need to pass the props into SettingsStack similarly? — Billy Bob Joel

I suppose you would have to do so . Cauz SettingsStack is a Navigator inside another navigator — Ayush Bansal

From TabNav in StackNavigator pass a function as a screenProp to TabNavigator . Use the function whenever you want to logout. Since SettingsStack is a navigator inside another navigator pass the props into SettingsStack to make it work.
