Introduction
This post is about How to Hide Navigation Option from Navigation Drawer / Sidebar in React Native. We will use react-navigation to make a navigation drawer in this example. I hope you have already seen our last post on React Native Navigation Drawer because in this post we are just extending the last post to hide the navigation option from the Navigation Drawer.
Hide navigation drawer option means while creating navigation drawer we have a screen in our navigation drawer which should be visible in the navigation option in the left menu but with some changes, we can also control the visibility of the option.
This option is very useful when you have to manage the visibility of the options on the basis of authority / access, For example if you have to different navigation options on the basis of user is logged in or not.
In this example, we will have a navigation drawer with 4 screens but only 2 navigation options available in the drawer menu. On the first screen, we will have two buttons to open two hidden screen which are the part of the navigation drawer but not in navigation drawer menu.
To hide the navigation option from the navigation drawer we will use drawerContent prop of Drawer.Navigator. This prop provides independence to replace default navigation drawer with our custom one. We have added some custom code to customise the navigation drawer.
The logic is simple we have just taken all the routes passed in drawer navigator and filtered out all those which we don’t want on drawer navigation. We have used DrawerContentScrollView and DrawerItemList to create the drawer option.
<Drawer.Navigator
drawerContentOptions={{
activeTintColor: '#e91e63',
itemStyle: {padding: 0},
}}
drawerContent={(props) => {
const filteredProps = {
...props,
state: {
...props.state,
routeNames: props.state.routeNames.filter(
// To hide single option
// (routeName) => routeName !== 'HiddenPage1',
// To hide multiple options you can add & condition
(routeName) => {
routeName !== 'HiddenPage1'
&& routeName !== 'HiddenPage2';
},
),
routes: props.state.routes.filter(
(route) =>{
route.name !== 'HiddenPage1'
&& route.name !== 'HiddenPage2',
},
),
},
};
return (
<DrawerContentScrollView {...filteredProps}>
<DrawerItemList {...filteredProps} />
</DrawerContentScrollView>
);
}}>
<Drawer.Screen
name="FirstPage"
options={{drawerLabel: 'First Page Option'}}
component={firstScreenStack}
/>
<Drawer.Screen
name="SecondPage"
options={{drawerLabel: 'Second Page Option'}}
component={secondScreenStack}
/>
<Drawer.Screen
name="HiddenPage1"
options={{drawerLabel: 'Hidden Page One option'}}
component={thirdScreenStack}
/>
<Drawer.Screen
name="HiddenPage2"
options={{drawerLabel: 'Hidden Page Two option'}}
component={fourthScreenStack}
/>
</Drawer.Navigator>
Let’s get started with the example.
To Make a React Native App
Getting started with React Native will help you to know more about the way you can make a React Native project. We are going to use react-native init to make our React Native App. Assuming that you have node installed, you can use npm to install the react-native-cli
command line utility. Open the terminal and go to the workspace and run
npm install -g react-native-cli
Run the following commands to create a new React Native project
react-native init ProjectName
If you want to start a new project with a specific React Native version, you can use the --version argument:
react-native init ProjectName --version X.XX.X
react-native init ProjectName --version react-native@next
This will make a project structure with an index file named App.js in your project directory.
Installation of Dependencies
For navigation drawer we need to add react-navigation
and other supporting dependencies.
To install the dependencies open the terminal and jump into your project
cd ProjectName
1. Install react-navigation
npm install @react-navigation/native --save
2. Other supporting libraries react-native-gesture-handler
, react-native-reanimated
, react-native-screens
and react-native-safe-area-context
and @react-native-community/masked-view
npm install react-native-reanimated react-native-gesture-handler react-native-screens react-native-safe-area-context @react-native-community/masked-view --save
3. For the Drawer Navigator install
npm install @react-navigation/drawer --save
4. These steps are enough for the drawer navigation but in this example, we are also using between screens so we will also need Stack Navigator
npm install @react-navigation/stack --save
Note: When you use a navigator, you’ll need to follow the installation instructions of that navigator for any additional dependencies. If you’re getting an error “Unable to resolve module”, you need to install that module in your project.
You might get warnings related to peer dependencies after installation. They are usually caused by incorrect version ranges specified in some packages. You can safely ignore most warnings as long as your app builds.
CocoaPods Installation
Please use the following command to install CocoaPods
npx pod-install ios
To finalize the installation of react-native-gesture-handler
, add the following at the top (make sure it’s at the top and there’s nothing else before it) of your entry files, such as index.js or App.js:
import 'react-native-gesture-handler';
Note: If you skip this step, your app may crash in production even if it works fine in development.
Project Structure
To start with this example you need to create a directory named pages in your project and create four files FirstPage.js, SecondPage.js, HiddenPage1.js, HiddenPage2.js in it.
Code
Now Open App.js in any code editor and replace the code with the following code
App.js
