React Native Tab Screen Hide Title - Javascript

Introduction

In React Native, you can create tab-based navigation using the TabNavigator or createMaterialTopTabNavigator component from the React Navigation library. By default, the titles of the screens displayed in the tabs are visible. However, there might be scenarios where you want to hide the title of a specific tab screen. This guide will show you how to hide the title of a tab screen in React Native using Javascript.

Code

To hide the title of a tab screen, you can modify the navigationOptions of the screen component. Here's an example of how to achieve this:

import React from 'react';
import { Text } from 'react-native';
import { createAppContainer } from 'react-navigation';
import { createMaterialTopTabNavigator } from 'react-navigation-tabs';

const ScreenWithHiddenTitle = () => (
  <Text>This is a screen with hidden title!</Text>
);

ScreenWithHiddenTitle.navigationOptions = {
  tabBarLabel: '',
};

const TabNavigator = createMaterialTopTabNavigator({
  Screen1: {
    screen: ScreenWithHiddenTitle,
  },
  Screen2: {
    screen: AnotherScreenComponent,
    navigationOptions: {
      // Additional configurations for Screen2
    },
  },
  // Other screens
});

export default createAppContainer(TabNavigator);

The ScreenWithHiddenTitle component is a screen for which you want to hide the title. By setting tabBarLabel to an empty string in the navigationOptions of the screen component, the title of the tab will be hidden.

Make sure to import the necessary components from the React Navigation library and create a tab navigator using the createMaterialTopTabNavigator function. Add the screens you want to display as tabs, and configure their options as needed. Finally, wrap the tab navigator with createAppContainer and export it as the default component.

Conclusion

By customizing the navigationOptions of a screen component in React Native, you can easily hide the title of a tab screen. This can be useful when you want to display a screen without a visible title in the tab navigation.
