Hi @superandrew ! Yes, that's a problem. It should really be easier to remove the left Icon completely. Do you have an idea about how would you go about resolving this? In my opinion, I think the left Icon should be default to the component but we could use a prop like simple for a simple NavBar (no icons, just text). Right now we have left and onLeftPress which enables the user to do whatever he wants with the left part of the NavBar (You could just insert a component there). But we need another way (easier and more intuitive).

Thanks,

@palingheorghe I realized that since I was using https://github.com/creativetimofficial/material-kit-react-native their Header wasn't respecting the left property and that led me to think that the left view was something that was different than the left icon/menu button.

That said, I still think that a simple that allows a "no-icon" mode or even menu (true|false) property would help in applications that don't have a menu or similar left icon functionalities, or the section of the application.

Yeah you're right @superandrew . This should be implemented, our component really needs that. You could submit a PR regarding this if you feel like contributing to Galio. We could update this in v0.6.

Thanks,

Sure, I will try to work out a solution. I linked galio trough yarn link but I have this error

Unable to resolve "@babel/runtime/helpers/interopRequireWildcard" from "../galio/src/index.js"

Since I am not practical with local node modules development, am I missing something obvious or is this a setup mistake?

Thanks

ouch I think that updating galio broke a whole lot of things since the release 1.5.3 changed a lot of things. Also, because I was using material kit from creativetim, I think most of the changes I made to the material kit layer are now incompatible.. so I'll have to rework it a little bit before making that change

You could take a look at our change log here. I didn't change much besides the Icon component. This should help you make the process of updating your app faster.

You can add
left={( <Button color="transparent" style={styles.settings} > </Button> )}

I am working on this and will soon raise a PR
