This is an Example of React Native Navigation Drawer for Android and IOS. React Native Navigation Drawer is a very popular component in app development. It provides you to manage the number of app options in a very easy manner. A user can navigate from one screen to another screen very easily by just pulling out the drawer. Here is an example of a navigation drawer.
This example will work for the React Navigation Version 3+. If you are using Version 2+ then please find the comments in the code for the suitable changes or can see our old post React Native Navigation Version 2+ for the help.
Make React Native Navigation Drawer Using
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 | const DrawerNavigatorExample = createDrawerNavigator({ //Drawer Optons and indexing Screen1: { //Title screen: FirstActivity_StackNavigator, navigationOptions: { drawerLabel: "Demo Screen 1" } }, Screen2: {//Title screen: Screen2_StackNavigator, navigationOptions: { drawerLabel: "Demo Screen 2" } }, Screen3: {//Title screen: Screen3_StackNavigator, navigationOptions: { drawerLabel: "Demo Screen 3" } }, }); export default createAppContainer(DrawerNavigatorExample); |
In this example, we will make a navigation drawer with Three screens. So let’s get started.
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 thereact-native-cli command line utility. Open the terminal and go to the workspace and runInstallation of Dependency
To use DrawerNavigator, StackNavigator you need to install react-navigation package. To install this
Open the terminal and jump into your project
1 | cd ProjectName |
Run the following command
1 | npm install react-navigation --save |
This command will copy all the dependencies into your node_module directory, You can find the directory in node_module the directory named react-navigation.
–save is optional, it is just to update the react-navigation dependancy in your package.json file.
Dependency Version for this Example Used is
1 | "react-navigation": "3.0.9" |
Project Structure
To start with this Example you need to create a directory named pages in your project and create three files Screen1.js, Screen2.js, and Screen3.js in it.
To have the drawer Icon in Action Bar you have to make an image directory in your project and have to copy any drawer image with name drawer.png (For this example. You can change if you want but you need to change the file name in code too).
Here is the drawer.png if you want to download.
Now Open App.js in any code editor and replace the code with the following code.
App.js

Open pages/Screen1.js in any code editor and the Replace the code with the following code.
Screen1.js
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 | //This is an example code for NavigationDrawer// import React, { Component } from 'react'; //import react in our code. import { StyleSheet, View, Text } from 'react-native'; // import all basic components export default class Screen1 extends Component { //Screen1 Component render() { return ( <View style={styles.MainContainer}> <Text style={{ fontSize: 23 }}> Screen 1 </Text> </View> ); } } const styles = StyleSheet.create({ MainContainer: { flex: 1, paddingTop: 20, alignItems: 'center', marginTop: 50, justifyContent: 'center', }, }); |
Open pages/Screen2.js in any code editor and the Replace the code with the following code.
Screen2.js
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 | //This is an example code for NavigationDrawer// import React, { Component } from 'react'; //import react in our code. import { StyleSheet, View, Text } from 'react-native'; // import all basic components export default class Screen2 extends Component { //Screen2 Component render() { return ( <View style={styles.MainContainer}> <Text style={{ fontSize: 23 }}> Screen 2 </Text> </View> ); } } const styles = StyleSheet.create({ MainContainer: { flex: 1, paddingTop: 20, alignItems: 'center', marginTop: 50, justifyContent: 'center', }, }); |
Open pages/Screen3.js in any code editor and the Replace the code with the following code.
Screen3.js
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 | //This is an example code for NavigationDrawer// import React, { Component } from 'react'; //import react in our code. import { StyleSheet, View, Text } from 'react-native'; // import all basic components export default class Screen3 extends Component { //Screen3 Component render() { return ( <View style={styles.MainContainer}> <Text style={{ fontSize: 23 }}> Screen 3 </Text> </View> ); } } const styles = StyleSheet.create({ MainContainer: { flex: 1, paddingTop: 20, alignItems: 'center', marginTop: 50, justifyContent: 'center', }, }); |
