### Prerequisites / Requirements

You need the version of NS6 or later to use this plugin.

### Installation

```javascript
tns plugin add nativescript-bottom-navigation
```

if you want to use the plugin with NS5 and above use the version `1.5.1`

```javascript
tns plugin add [email protected]
```

### BREAKING CHANGES

- `BottomNavigation` class now is `BottomNavigationBar`
- `NativescriptBottomNavigationModule` now is `NativeScriptBottomNavigationBarModule`
- `res://` should be used to reference icons in the tabs
- The prefix `On` of the Event interfaces was removed:
- Example: `OnTabPressedEventData` now is `TabPressedEventData`
- The prefix `tab` of Css properties was removed:
- Example: `tab-active-color` now is `active-color`
- **The documentation was updated review it :D**

### NEW FEATURES

- `Badge` now are supported using the method: `showBadge(index, value)`
- NOTE: if you want to show a badge as a red dot no value should be passed to the function.

### Usage

Before start using the plugin you need to add the icons for android & iOS in your `App_Resources` directory.

Also you need to change your parent theme from `Theme.AppCompat` to `Theme.MaterialComponents` inside your `App_Resources/Android/src/main/res/values/styles.xml` file.

#### XML

You can set the tabs using the `tabs` property

```xml






```

```typescript
import { EventData } from 'tns-core-modules/data/observable';
import { Page } from 'tns-core-modules/ui/page';
import {
BottomNavigationTab,
TabSelectedEventData,
} from 'nativescript-bottom-navigation';

// Event handler for Page 'loaded' event attached in main-page.xml
export function pageLoaded(args: EventData) {
// Get the event sender
let page = args.object;
page.bindingContext = {
tabs: [
new BottomNavigationTab({ title: 'First', icon: 'res://ic_home' }),
new BottomNavigationTab({
title: 'Second',
icon: 'res://ic_view_list',
isSelectable: false,
}),
new BottomNavigationTab({ title: 'Third', icon: 'res://ic_menu' }),
],
};
}

export function tabSelected(args: TabSelectedEventData) {
console.log('tab selected ' + args.newIndex);
}
```

or you can add the tabs directly in your xml view

```xml









       

```

#### Angular

First you need to include the `NativeScriptBottomNavigationBarModule` in your `app.module.ts``

```typescript
import { NativeScriptBottomNavigationBarModule} from "nativescript-bottom-navigation/angular";

@NgModule({
imports: [
NativeScriptBottomNavigationBarModule
],
...
})
```

```html




```

or you can declare the `BottomNavigationTab` in your html directly

```html








```

#### Vue

If you want to use this plugin with Vue, do this in your `app.js` or `main.js`:

```javascript
import BottomNavigationBar from 'nativescript-bottom-navigation/vue';

Vue.use(BottomNavigationBar);
```

This will install and register `BottomNavigationBar` and `BottomNavigationTab` components to your `Vue` instance and now you can use the plugin as follows:

```html








```

You can find more information of how to use nativescript plugins with Vue [Here!](https://nativescript-vue.org/en/docs/getting-started/nativescript-plugins/)

#### CSS Styling

You can also use your css file to set or change the `activeColor`, `inactiveColor` & `backgroundColor` of the Bottom Navigation Bar.

```css
.botom-nav {
active-color: green;
inactive-color: black;
background-color: blue;
}
```
