E-Commerce App Dev – Bottom Tab Navigation (React Native, Navigation, UI Design, TypeScript)

🔥 In Part 25 of our E-Commerce Hybrid App Development series, we integrate Bottom Tab Navigation to allow users to move seamlessly between major sections of the app—like Home, Cart, Search, and Profile. A clean tab bar enhances usability and anchors the user experience.

📌 What you’ll learn in this video:
✅ Setting up react-navigation bottom tabs in a React Native app
✅ Creating tab routes for Home, Categories, Cart, and Profile
✅ Customizing icons with react-native-vector-icons
✅ Handling active/inactive tab styles
✅ Nesting stacks inside tabs (e.g., Home stack within Home tab)
✅ Improving performance with lazy loading and tab preservation
✅ Styling tab bar with Tailwind-RN or StyleSheet
✅ Laying the groundwork for a scalable app structure

💡 Why Bottom Tab Navigation Matters:
▶️ Provides intuitive access to key screens
▶️ Mirrors common mobile UX patterns (e.g., Amazon, Flipkart)
▶️ Keeps users oriented within the app
▶️ Enables modular architecture with screen grouping
▶️ Boosts engagement and feature discoverability
