React Navigation Material Bottom Tabs

Bottom Navigation component following Material design guidelines to use with React Navigation. Uses the Bottom Navigation component from React Native Paper.

Installation

Open a Terminal in your project's folder and run,

1yarn add react-navigation-material-bottom-tabs react-native-paper

If you're on a vanilla React Native project, you also need to install and link react-native-vector-icons.

1yarn add react-native-vector-icons
2react-native link react-native-vector-icons

If you don't want to install vector icons, you can use babel-plugin-optional-require to opt-out.

If you use Expo, you don't need to install vector icons. But you will need to make sure that your .babelrc includes babel-preset-expo:

1{
2  "presets": ["expo"]
3}

If you don't use React Native Paper app, you should also add react-native-paper/babel to your .babelrc to avoid importing the whole library. See the Getting Started guide for more information.
