Reference

an-stack-view

The container a native navigation stack is built on: one screen slides in, the previous one slides out behind it.

A clipped container that animates a transition between what it held and what it holds now. [transition] says which direction — push, pop or none — and (back) is where iOS’s edge-swipe gesture and Android’s back button arrive.

Most templates do not use it directly. <an-native-stack> wraps it around a <router-outlet> and wires the direction and the back for you; see navigation and the router.

It is clipped on purpose: unclipped, screens on their way in and out would be seen sliding over everything else.

Every primitive also carries the base props — background, border, opacity, the transforms, animate, the accessibility contract — and every gesture. See Components for the full base, Events for the payloads.
