I'm using react navigation 5 and used createBottomTabNavigator() to create a bottom tab to render the body with different components when tapped. The problem now is that I also need to show a text component only when 'Settings' tab is active and it's showing the Settings component. Is there a way to check which bottom tab is active?
I know for navigation routes there's useRoutes is there something similar?
<Tab.Navigator
initialRouteName="Home"
tabBarOptions={{
inactiveTintColor: theme.inactive,
activeTintColor: theme.active,
}}>
<Tab.Screen
name="Home"
options={{
tabBarIcon: ({color}) => <HomeIcon color={color} />,
}}>
{() => (
<Home content={feed} />
)}
</Tab.Screen>
<Tab.Screen
name="Settings"
component={Settings}
options={{
tabBarIcon: ({color}) => <SettingsIcon color={color} />,
}}
/>
</Tab.Navigator>
i.e. route.name === "Settings" ? this : that
The useFocusEffect() hook provided by React Navigation is the answer to my question.
