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

JavaScript

// App.js

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. Update the App.js file as shown below:

JavaScript

// App.js

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>
    );
};

export default App;
