Opening the Drawer navigator from the bottom tab


I'm upgrading my App from react-navigation 4 to 5.

In version 4 I have a tab that open the drawer using the following code

const MainNavigator = createBottomTabNavigator(
  {
More: {      
      screen: AdminNavigator,
      navigationOptions: {
        tabBarIcon: (tabInfo) => {
          //return <Ionicons name="ios-star" size={25} color={tabInfo.tintColor} />;
          return (
            <Icon
              name="tune"
              color={tabInfo.tintColor}
              size={tabInfo.focused ? 32 : 28}
              style={{
                paddingTop: 10,
              }}
            />
          );
        },
        tabBarColor: Colors.primary,       
        tabBarOnPress: ({ navigation }) => {
          navigation.openDrawer();
        },
      },
    },
}

In new version 5 I have the following Navigation config

<NavigationContainer>          
    <Drawer.Navigator>
       <Drawer.Screen name="Home" component={TabsScreen} />
       <Drawer.Screen name="Favorites" component={FavoritesStackScreen} />
       <Drawer.Screen name="Language" component={LanguageStackScreen} />
    </Drawer.Navigator>
</NavigationContainer>

where TabScreen is my bottom tab navigator

const TabsScreen = () => (
    <Tabs.Navigator>
        <Tabs.Screen name={"Home"} component={HomeStackScreen} />
        <Tabs.Screen name={"Cocktails"} component={CocktailsStackScreen} />
        <Tabs.Screen 
            name={"More"} 
            component={HomeStackScreen} 
            options={{
                ...
            }}
        />
    </Tabs.Navigator>
);

I'm looking for the equivalent in V5 of the following

tabBarOnPress: ({ navigation }) => {
          navigation.openDrawer();
        },

Solution

  • Try the following:

    <Tabs.Screen 
      name={"More"} 
      component={HomeStackScreen} 
      listeners={({ navigation }) => ({
        tabPress: e => {
          e.preventDefault();
          navigation.openDrawer();
        }
      })}
    />
