A custom bottomTabNavigator which supports 5 different types of tabBar styling and animations.
Install via npm
npm i react-native-custom-navigation-tabs
Import the TabBar component from react-native-custom-navigation-tabs:
import TabBar from 'react-native-custom-navigation-tabs'
import React from 'react';
import { createAppContainer } from 'react-navigation';
import { createBottomTabNavigator } from 'react-navigation-tabs';
import Icon from 'react-native-vector-icons/FontAwesome'
import TabBar from 'react-native-custom-navigation-tabs'
import { HomeScreen, SearchScreen, FavoritesScreen, ProfileScreen, LikeScreen } from './Screens'
const TabNavigator = createBottomTabNavigator(
{
Home: {
screen: HomeScreen,
navigationOptions: {
tabBarIcon: ({ tintColor }) => <Icon size={25} name="home" style={{ color: tintColor }} />
}
},
Search: {

{
tabBarComponent: TabBar, // pass TabBar here.
tabBarOptions: {} // discussed below.

const TabNavigation = createAppContainer(TabNavigator)
export default TabNavigation;
As shown in above example, you need to add your icon
in navigationOptions{}
beside your screen and do remember to provide the style={{ color: tintColor }}
to it as shown.
This is the place where we provide the type and custom styling to our tab navigator. Below are the tabBar options respective to each tabBarType
.
tabBarOptions{}
for this type will be -
tabBarOptions: {
activeTintColor: // **(optional)**, defaults to '#000000' if not provided. This is the color of the active icon.
