In react navigation drawermenu. I want to display the username 'John Doe' which is in the state of my main component 'Router'
How can I pass it the CustomDrawerContentComponent.
Extra Info: I'm getting this name from AsyncStorage in componentDidMount
This is my code
export default class Router extends Component {
constructor(props) {
super(props);
this.state = {
employeeName: "John Doe" //<-----How to pass this name to CustomDrawerContentComponent????
};
}
render() {
return <MyApp />;
}
}
const MyApp = DrawerNavigator(
{
Home: {
screen: Home
},
History: {
screen: History
},
AddDetails: {
screen: AddDetails
}
},
{
initialRouteName: "Home",
drawerPosition: "left",
contentComponent: CustomDrawerContentComponent,
drawerOpenRoute: "DrawerOpen",
drawerCloseRoute: "DrawerClose",
drawerToggleRoute: "DrawerToggle",
contentOptions: {
activeTintColor: "#EF4036"
}
}
);
const CustomDrawerContentComponent = props => (
<Container>
<Header style={styles.drawerHeader}>
<Body style={styles.container}>
<Image
style={styles.drawerImage}
source={{
uri: "http://themes.themewaves.com/nuzi/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2013/05/Team-Member-3.jpg"
}}
/>
<Text style={styles.drawerText}>**How get the name here?**</Text>
</Body>
</Header>
<Content>
<DrawerItems {...props} />
</Content>
</Container>
);
You can use screenProps:
And then use it in your custom contentComponent:
This is the answer for your question. But first of all I don't recommend using your top level component for such business logic. Use it only for navigation.
And see my answer here: Customizing Drawer
I recommend you to create a Redux connected custom drawer as I describe in my answer. If you don't know how to use Redux, I definitely recommend you to learn it. You will need it as your application grows.
Just pass as screenprops
You can access it from drawer like this
this.props.screenprops.employeename
