shopify-react-native-performance-navigation-bottom-tabs
shopify-react-native-performance-navigation-bottom-tabs is an extension library atop @shopify/react-native-performance-navigation with additional helper methods for @react-navigation/bottom-tabs library.
Installation
- Add the JavaScript library dependency in the
package.jsonfile:"dependencies": { ... "@shopify/react-native-performance": "npm:@amazon-devices/shopify__react-native-performance@~2.0.0", "@shopify/react-native-performance-navigation": "npm:@amazon-devices/shopify__react-native-performance-navigation@~3.0.0", "@shopify/react-native-performance-navigation-bottom-tabs": "npm:@amazon-devices/shopify__react-native-performance-navigation-bottom-tabs@~3.0.0" }, - Add the Babel module resolver plugin to the
devDependenciessection in thepackage.jsonfile:"devDependencies": { ... "babel-plugin-module-resolver": "~5.0.2", }, - Configure an alias for
@amazon-devices/shopify__react-native-performance*in thepluginsection of thebabel.config.jsfile.plugins: [ ["module-resolver", { "alias": { "~@amazon-devices/shopify__react-native-performance(.*)": "@shopify/react-native-performance/\\1" } }] ] - For projects using
@amazon-devices/react-navigation_<X>@2.0.0libraries (where<X>represents specific components likestackornative), include these libraries in both thedependenciesandoverridessections of your package.json file. It is strongly recommended to upgrade to@amazon-devices/react-navigation_<X>@7.0.0, which introduces@amazon-devices/react-native-reanimatedsupport for enhanced performance and animations."dependencies": { ... "@amazon-devices/react-navigation__<X>": "~2.0.0", ... }, ... "overrides": { ... "@amazon-devices/react-navigation__<X>": "~2.0.0", ... }, - Reinstall dependencies using
npm installcommand.
