BottomNavigationItem

Composable Component

The recommended configuration for a BottomNavigationItem depends on how many items there are inside a BottomNavigation:

  • Three destinations: Display icons and text labels for all destinations.
  • Four destinations: Active destinations display an icon and text label. Inactive destinations display icons, and text labels are recommended.
  • Five destinations: Active destinations display an icon and text label. Inactive destinations use icons, and use text labels if space permits.
