How do I implement a tab navigator in React Native?

You can use the @react-navigation/bottom-tabs package to create a tab navigator in React Native. First, install the package using npm or yarn.

What are the steps to install the package?

Run npm install @react-navigation/native @react-navigation/bottom-tabs and also install the required dependencies like react-native-gesture-handler.

Can you show me a basic example of how to set it up?

Sure! Here's a simple example:

import React from 'react';
import { NavigationContainer } from '@react-navigation/native';
import { createBottomTabNavigator } from '@react-navigation/bottom-tabs';

const Tab = createBottomTabNavigator();

function App() {
  return (
    <NavigationContainer>
      <Tab.Navigator>
        <Tab.Screen name="Home" component={HomeScreen} />
        <Tab.Screen name="Settings" component={SettingsScreen} />
      </Tab.Navigator>
    </NavigationContainer>
  );
}

What components do I need to create for HomeScreen and SettingsScreen?

You can create simple functional components for HomeScreen and SettingsScreen. For example:

function HomeScreen() {
  return <Text>Home Screen</Text>;
}

function SettingsScreen() {
  return <Text>Settings Screen</Text>;
}
