How to use BottomNavigation Component in ReactJS?

The Bottom navigation bars allow movement between primary destinations in an app. Material UI for React has this component available for us and it is very easy to integrate. We can use BottomNavigation Component in ReactJS using the following approach.

Creating React Application And Installing Module:

Step 1: Create a React application using the following command:

npx create-react-app foldername

Step 2: After creating your project folder i.e. foldername, move to it using the following command:

cd foldername

Step 3: After creating the ReactJS application, Install the material-ui modules using the following command:

npm install @mui/material
npm install @mui/icons-material

Project Structure: It will look like the following.

Project Structure

Example 1: In this example, we will add a BottomNavigation component that shows 2 actions and display the position of the action selected. Please update the App.js file like below: 

Filename: App.js

Javascript

import React from "react";
import BottomNavigation from
    "@material-ui/core/BottomNavigation";
import LocationOnIcon from "@material-ui/icons/LocationOn";
import RestoreIcon from "@material-ui/icons/Restore";
import BottomNavigationAction from
    "@material-ui/core/BottomNavigationAction";

const App = () => {
    const [value, setValue] = React.useState(0);

    return (
        <div
            style={{
                margin: "auto",
                display: "table",
            }}
        >
            <h4>How to use BottomNavigation in ReactJS?</h4>
            <BottomNavigation
                showLabels
                value={value}
                onChange={(e, newValue) => {
                    setValue(newValue);
                }}
            >
                <BottomNavigationAction label="Recents"
                    icon={<RestoreIcon />} />
                <BottomNavigationAction label="Nearby"
                    icon={<LocationOnIcon />} />
            </BottomNavigation>
            <h4>
                You have selected {value}
                <sup>th</sup> position button
            </h4>
        </div>
    );
};

export default App;

Step to Run Application: Run the application using the following command from the root directory of the project.

npm start

Output: Now open your browser and go to http://localhost:3000/, you will see the following output.

Example 2: In this example, we will add a BottomNavigation component that shows 2 actions, and only shows label of the action that is selected. Please update the App.js file like below: 

Filename: App.js

Javascript

import { BottomNavigation, BottomNavigationAction }
    from "@mui/material";
import RestoreIcon from '@mui/icons-material/Restore'
import LocationOnIcon from '@mui/icons-material/LocationOn'
import React from "react";

const App = () => {
    const [value, setValue] = React.useState(0);

    return (
        <div
            style={{
                margin: "auto",
                display: "table",
            }}
        >
            <h1 style={{ color: 'green' }}>GeeksforGeeks</h1>
            <h4>How to use BottomNavigation in ReactJS?</h4>
            <BottomNavigation
                value={value}
                onChange={(e, newValue) => {
                    setValue(newValue);
                }}
            >
                <BottomNavigationAction label="Recents"
                    icon={<RestoreIcon />} />
                <BottomNavigationAction label="Nearby"
                    icon={<LocationOnIcon />} />
            </BottomNavigation>
        </div>
