Currently the best way to do that is to create an EventEmitter in the owner of the NavigatorIOS, then you can pass it down to children using route.passProps. The child can mix in Subscribable.Mixin and then in componentDidMount, you can this.addListenerOn(this.props.events, 'myRightBtnEvent', this._handleRightBtnPress);

It is clear that this API needs improvement. We are actively working the routing API in Relay, and hopefully react-router, but we want NavigatorIOS to be usable independently. Maybe we should add an event emitter inside the navigator object, so child components can subscribe to various navigator activity: this.addListenerOn(this.props.navigator.events, 'rightButtonPress', this._handleRightBtnPress);

Feedback welcome!

@backslash112 Here is how I was able to have the “onRightButtonPress” trigger a function in the sub-component.

The only dependency I used is https://github.com/Olical/EventEmitter which can be added:
var EventEmitter = require('wolfy87-eventemitter');

In my main file (index.io.js) I created a new event emitter outside of the class:
var rightButtonHandler = new EventEmitter();

Then, inside the class I created a method to be called when the button is pressed:
handleSaveButton() { rightButtonHandler.emitEvent('saveButtonPressed'); }

And right below that I am passing the event emitter as a property to the sub-component:
passProps: { events: rightButtonHandler }

Now, switching to the sub-component class, add this or update your componentDidMount method:
componentDidMount() { this.props.events.addListener('saveButtonPressed', this.saveConcert.bind(this)); }

The above will be calling this saveConcert:
saveConcert() { /// This is now called when the navigatorIOS right button is pressed. }

Hope this helps!
