How to build beautiful React Native bottom tabs
Blog post from Expo
React-native-bottom-tabs is a library that leverages native platform primitives to create tab bars, offering seamless integration with operating systems on iOS and Android for a more authentic app appearance. The library distinguishes itself from JavaScript-based tabs by using native components that adapt to various platforms, such as tvOS and iPadOS, displaying tabs as a sidebar or at the top respectively. Notable features include automatic scroll to top, content offsetting, haptic feedback, and multi-platform support, with the ability to update automatically with future system releases. The library supports multiple themes, including Android's Material2 and Material3, and encourages the use of static images for icons to enhance performance. The blog post guides users on transitioning from JavaScript Bottom Tabs to Native Tabs using Expo Router, emphasizing API parity to simplify migration. The future development of the library includes plans to introduce Native Headers and expand API parity, with community feedback encouraged for further improvements.
