Disable rotation for specific views in react native

Question

How can I disable rotation only for specific views (e.g: when using Navigator) and not for the entire app?

The question here already addresses disabling rotation for the entire app

Answer 1

With the react-native-orientation package, it's possible to lock the orientation to portrait/landscape. The package and documentation can be found here: https://github.com/yamill/react-native-orientation

Remember; you should not put your locking inside the rendering of scenes (nor the renderScene method). Since the Navigator re-renders all the scenes in the route stack, this would probably cause weird side effects for you. Rather, the locking/unlocking should be put in the code that interacts with the route stack (ie. calls the push/pop methods).
