Header buttons

Now that we know how to customize the look of our headers, let's make them interactive!

Adding a button to the header

The most common way to interact with a header is by tapping a button to the left or right of the title. Let's add a button to the right side of the header:

Static

const MyStack = createNativeStackNavigator({
  screens: {
    Home: {
      screen: HomeScreen,
      options: {
        headerRight: () => (
          <Button onPress={() => alert('This is a button!')}>Info</Button>
        ),
      },
    },
  },
});

Try on Snack

Dynamic

function MyStack() {
  return (
    <Stack.Navigator>
      <Stack.Screen
        name="Home"
        component={HomeScreen}
        options={{
          headerRight: () => (
            <Button onPress={() => alert('This is a button!')}>Info</Button>
          ),
        }}
      />
