3. LazyLoading : To implement LazyLoading on TabNavigator following steps should be followed

• withLazyLoading(Screen) : implements lazy loading on TabNavigator screen

Params	Type	Description
ScreenComponent	Component	The component to be lazy loaded

• handleLazyLoading(navigation,props) : handles tabBarOnPress events to enable LazyLoading

Params	Type	Description
navigation	NavigationProp	Navigation property obtained from Navigator via navigationOptions
props	Props	Props obtained from tabBarOnPress on Navigator

NOTE:

• firstRoute (the first screen on TabNavigator) or initialRoute should not have lazy loading. They should be rendered normally.

• If first screen has LazyLoading, nothing will be rendered.

import React, { Component } from "react";
import { View, Text, StyleSheet } from "react-native";
import { TabNavigator } from "react-navigation";
import { withLazyLoading, handleLazyLoading } from "react-navigation-utils";

const TabScreen1 = () => {
  /* uncomment below line to check lazy loading */
  // console.log("rendered 1");
  return (
    <View style={styles.sContainer}>
      <Text>Im first tab</Text>
    </View>
  );
};

const TabScreen2 = () => {
  /* uncomment below line to check lazy loading */
  // console.log("rendered 2");
  return (
    <View style={styles.sContainer}>
      <Text>Im second tab</Text>
    </View>
  );
};

const LazyTabScreen2 = withLazyLoading(TabScreen2);

const MyTabs = TabNavigator(
  {
    tab1: { screen: TabScreen1 } /* No LazyLoad on 1st route */,
    tab2: { screen: LazyTabScreen2 }
  },
  {
    navigationOptions: ({ navigation }) => ({
      tabBarOnPress: props => handleLazyLoading(navigation, props)
    })
  }
);

export default MyTabs;

const styles = StyleSheet.create({
  sContainer: {
    flex: 1,
    justifyContent: "center",
    alignItems: "center"
  }
});

4. resetNavigationToFirst(routeName, navigationProp) : resets the stack to start with passed route

Params	Type	Description
routeName	String	The route to be reset as first
navigationProp	Navigation Property	Navigation property obtained from Navigator

import React, { Component } from "react";
import { StyleSheet, Text, View, TouchableOpacity } from "react-native";
import { StackNavigator } from "react-navigation";
import { resetNavigationToFirst } from "react-navigation-utils";

const FirstScreen = props => (
  <View style={styles.sContainer}>
    <Text>This is FirstScreen</Text>
    <TouchableOpacity
      onPress={() => resetNavigationToFirst("SecondScreen", props.navigation)}
    >
      <Text>Open SecondScreen</Text>
    </TouchableOpacity>
  </View>
);

class SecondScreen extends Component {
  render() {
    return (
      <View style={styles.sContainer}>
        <Text>This is SecondScreen</Text>
      </View>
    );
  }
}

const App = StackNavigator(
  {
    FirstScreen: { screen: FirstScreen },
    SecondScreen: { screen: SecondScreen }
  },
  {
    navigationOptions: {
      title: "App"
    }
  }
);

export default App;

const styles = StyleSheet.create({
  sContainer: {
    flex: 1,
    justifyContent: "center",
    alignItems: "center",
    backgroundColor: "#F5FCFF"
  },
  sHeaderStyle: { margin: 10 }
});
