I'm using react-native-router-flux
in my app and want to pass in paths to png images for my TabIcon components. I know I could just make a different tab icon component for each tab, but these icons would be exactly the same except for the image source and I want to find a DRY way to accomplish my goal. Where in my scenes can I pass in the image path?
Here is my TabIcon component:
const TabIcon = ({ selected, title, image }) => {
const tabStyle = selected ? styles.selected : styles.unselected
return (
<View style={tabStyle}>
<Image
style={{height: 35, width: 35}}
source={require(image)}
/>
</View>
)
}
My scenes:
const Scenes = Actions.create(
<Scene key='root'>
<Scene key='tabbar' tabs={true} tabBarStyle={styles.tabBarStyle}>
<Scene key='tab1' title='Feed' icon={TabIcon}>
<Scene
key='Feed'
component={Feed}
title='Feed'
initial={true}
/>
</Scene>
<Scene key='tab2' title='Create' icon={TabIcon}>
<Scene
key='Create'
component={Create}
title='Create'
/>
</Scene>
<Scene key='tab3' title='Leaderboard' icon={TabIcon}>
<Scene
key='leaderboard'
component={Leaderboard}
title='Leaderboard'
/>
</Scene>
</Scene>
</Scene>
)
EDIT
I have tried passing in the image like so
const Scenes = Actions.create(
<Scene key='root'>
<Scene key='tabbar' tabs={true} tabBarStyle={styles.tabBarStyle}>
//HERE
<Scene key='tab1' title='Feed' icon={TabIcon} image={'../images/feed.png'}>
<Scene
key='matchupsFeed'
component={MatchupsFeed}
title='Feed'
initial={true}
/>
</Scene>
...
...
...
Within my TabIcon component if I console.log(image)
it prints out "../images/feed.png"
but I get this error in the simulator:
Unknown named module: '../images/feed.png'
After taking a look at this SO question, I figured it out:
const TabIcon = ({ selected, title, image }) => {
const selectColor = selected ? '#ED1B25' : '#FFF'
return (
<View style={[styles.tabStyle, {borderBottomColor: selectColor}]}>
<Image
style={{height: 35, width: 35}}
// Change HERE
source={image}
/>
</View>
)
}
Scenes
const Scenes = Actions.create(
<Scene key='root'>
<Scene key='tabbar' tabs={true} tabBarStyle={styles.tabBarStyle}>
//Change HERE
<Scene key='tab1' title='Feed' icon={TabIcon} image={require('../images/feed.png')}>
