supporting icon-only might be helpful for a certain amount of people

timomeh commented 7 years ago

Usually I would refer to https://github.com/timomeh/react-native-material-bottom-navigation/issues/15#issuecomment-285116249 and say that that's not how the guidelines define the material bottom navigation, but I changed my mind on this… at least a bit.

At the moment I can't simply support full customizability, because I tried to be really detailed in my implementation. For example the animations are pixel-perfect, and if I would support something like changing label size (as someone else suggested), the Animations would be totally fucked up.

But after seeing examples of real Apps from Google with the Bottom Navigation (cf. YouTube), I realized they don't use their own BottomNavigation at all. The official Android Libraries for the BottomNavigation aren't really that great, too. I also read/heard good arguments for not using the BottomNavigation as the Guidelines define them.

So, public service announcement: I decided to provide a much more flexible version. Yep, that would also include a no-label version. Making a new version has a high priority for me. But please don't expect a new version in the next two or three weeks or so. I'm also a bit involved in my work and social life. 😄

I am currently (at this moment) doing a big refactor/rewrite of the whole BottomNavigation. I'll include this feature in the upcoming version.
