Usage

This library uses "render props" as established pattern for component composition. The example below illustrates the basic usage of the Bottom Navigation. All available Props are listed in the Documentation.

Dive into the example below, check out the example app and take a look at the Usage Documentation.

import BottomNavigation, {
  FullTab
} from 'react-native-material-bottom-navigation'

export default class App extends React.Component {
  tabs = [
    {
      key: 'games',
      icon: 'gamepad-variant',
      label: 'Games',
      barColor: '#388E3C',
      pressColor: 'rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.16)'
    },
    {
      key: 'movies-tv',
      icon: 'movie',
      label: 'Movies & TV',
      barColor: '#B71C1C',
      pressColor: 'rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.16)'
    },
    {
      key: 'music',
      icon: 'music-note',
      label: 'Music',
      barColor: '#E64A19',
      pressColor: 'rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.16)'
    }
  ]

  renderIcon = icon => ({ isActive }) => (
    <Icon size={24} color="white" name={icon} />
  )

  renderTab = ({ tab, isActive }) => (
    <FullTab
      isActive={isActive}
      key={tab.key}
      label={tab.label}
      renderIcon={this.renderIcon(tab.icon)}
    />
  )

  render() {
    return (
      <View style={{ flex: 1 }}>
        <View style={{ flex: 1 }}>
          {/* Your screen contents depending on current tab. */}
        </View>
        <BottomNavigation
          onTabPress={newTab => this.setState({ activeTab: newTab.key })}
          renderTab={this.renderTab}
          tabs={this.tabs}
        />
      </View>
    )
  }
}

Note: Out-of-the-box support for React Navigation (called NavigationComponent in earlier releases) was removed with v1. You can still use an earlier version, or integrate the Bottom Navigation on your own. Read more...

Notes

React Navigation Support

In contrary to earlier releases, this library does not support React Navigation out of the box (called NavigationComponent in earlier releases). React Navigation now ships with an own Material Bottom Navigation: createMaterialBottomTabNavigator.

The API of React Navigation changes quite frequently, and (until now) it wasn't always easy to keep track of changes and be up-to-date. Also I don't want to favor and promote React Navigation over other Navigation Libraries.

You can still implement the Bottom Navigation on your own, for example by using React Navigation's Custom Navigator.

If you integrate material-bottom-navigation with a navigation library in your project, feel free to share your knowledge by contributing to the Documentation or event create your own module which uses react-native-material-bottom-navigation.

Updated Material Design Specs

Google updated the Material Guidelines on Google I/O 2018 with new specifications, including a slightly changed Bottom Navigation and a new "App Bar Bottom" with a FAB in a centered cutout. react-native-material-bottom-navigation uses the older specs.
