react native createbottomtabnavigator hide tab bar label

Question

I need to know how to hide the bottom label.

I've tried the following:

tabBarShowLabels: 'hidden', tabbarlabelvisible: false.

I also removed the tabbarlabel: 'Home' and it still shows

Any help would be appreciated or if someone could point me to the right direction.

import {createBottomTabNavigator} from 'react-navigation'
import Icon from 'react-native-vector-icons/Ionicons'


const Tabs = createBottomTabNavigator ({
  Home:{
    screen: Home,
    navigationOptions:{
      tabBarIcon: ({ focused, tintcolor }) => (
        <Icon name="ios-home" size={24}  />
      )
    }
  },
  Inbox:{screen: Inbox,
    navigationOptions:{
      tabBarIcon: ({ tintcolor }) => (
        <Icon name="ios-mail" size={24} />
      )
    }
  },
  Search:{screen: Search,
    navigationOptions:{
      tabBarIcon: ({ tintcolor }) => (
        <Icon name="ios-search" size={24} />
      )
    }
  },
  Favorites:{screen: Favorites,
    navigationOptions:{ 
    tabBarIcon: ({ tintcolor }) => (
      <Icon name="ios-heart" size={24} />
    )
  }
  },
  Settings:{screen: Settings,
    navigationOptions:{ 
      tabBarIcon: ({ tintcolor }) => (
        <Icon name="ios-settings" size={24} />
      )
    }
  }

}
});



export default class App extends Component {
  render() {

    return <Tabs />
  }
}

Answer 1

You have to define showLabel: false as the docs says, just as

const Tabs = createBottomTabNavigator ({
  Home:{
    screen: Home,
    navigationOptions:{
      tabBarIcon: ({ focused, tintcolor }) => (
        <Icon name="ios-home" size={24}  />
      )
    }
  },
  ...
  ,
  Settings:{screen: Settings,
    navigationOptions:{
      tabBarIcon: ({ tintcolor }) => (
        <Icon name="ios-settings" size={24} />
      )
    }
  }

}
}, {
  tabBarOptions: { showLabel: false }
});

On the new versions of React Navigation, you just need to pass showLabel prop as false

<Tab.Navigator tabBarOptions={{ showLabel: false }}>
