Customizing default navigation bar of react-native-router-flux

Question

I am using react native router flux for navigation in my react native project. Router flux has a default navBar.

Is there a way to customize the navBar? like, changing colour of text and background.

I tried editing the file in node_modules/react-native-router-flux/src/navBar.js but it doesn't seem to work.

Please help me.

In your Router.js file where you create your scenes give a navBar property like for eg:

navBar={NavBar} and here my NavBar is actually a NavBar.js file in which I have customized the navigation bar

just have a look on my codes if that helps u

Router.js file:

import React from 'react';
import { Scene, Router } from 'react-native-router-flux';
import mainScreen from './components/mainScreen';
import challengeScreen from './components/challengeScreen';
import NavBar from './components/NavBar';

const RouterComponent = () => {
  return (
    <Router>
<Scene key="root">
    <Scene key="homeScreen" component={mainScreen} hideNavBar={1} />
    <Scene
     key="screen2" component={challengeScreen} navTransparent={1}
     navBar={NavBar}
       />
</Scene>
    </Router>
  );
};
export default RouterComponent;

NavBar.js file

import {
 View, Image, StatusBar, TouchableWithoutFeedback
} from 'react-native';
import React, { Component } from 'react';
import { Actions, Router, Scene } from 'react-native-router-flux';

class NavBar extends Component {
  render() {
    return (
<View style={styles.backgroundStyle}>
      <StatusBar />
      <View style={{ flexDirection: 'row' }}>
      <TouchableWithoutFeedback onPress={() => Actions.homeScreen()}>
      <Image
    source={require('./Images/back-arrow.png')}
    style={styles.backarrowStyle} />
      </TouchableWithoutFeedback>

      <Image
  source={require('./Images/help.png')}
  style={styles.helpStyle} />


  <Image
source={require('./Images/setting.png')}
style={styles.settingStyle} />
    </View>
</View>
    );
  }

}
const styles = {
  backgroundStyle: {
    backgroundColor: 'transparent'
  },
  backarrowStyle: {
    resizeMode: 'contain',
    flexDirection: 'row',
    width: 50,
    height: 50,
    left: 0,
    justifyContent: 'flex-start'
  },
  helpStyle: {
    resizeMode: 'contain',
      width: 50,
      height: 50,
      left: 220,
      justifyContent: 'flex-end',
      position: 'relative'

  },
  settingStyle: {
    resizeMode: 'contain',
    width: 50,
    height: 50,
    justifyContent: 'flex-end',
  position: 'relative',
  left: 210
  }
};


export default NavBar;

This helped me to customize navigation bar hope that it helps you
