I am making an app in which there are three bottom tabs screen. HomeScreen, CartScreen and Profile Screen. I was wanting to check the re renders of my app using "Why did you re render" npm package and found a critical bug or is it so.
The MainTabScreen(The screen in which all the bottom tabs are nested) is re rendering as many times I change the screen, just because its props changed.
Here is the console log :

Here is the code of the MainTabScreen.js:
const MainTabScreen = () => {
return (
<Tab.Navigator
tabBarOptions={{
showLabel: false,
style: {
position: "absolute",
height: 40,
bottom: 0,
right: 0,
left: 0,
backgroundColor: "#fff",
},
}}
>
<Tab.Screen
name="MainHome"
component={MainHomeScreen}
options={{
tabBarIcon: ({ focused }) => (
<Icon.Home
// color={"#f62459"}
color={focused ? "#f62459" : "#302f2f"}
height={28}
width={28}
/>
),
}}
/>
<Tab.Screen
name="MainCart"
component={MainCartScreen}
options={{
tabBarIcon: ({ focused }) => (
<Icon.ShoppingCart
// color="#302f2f"
color={focused ? "#f62459" : "#302f2f"}
width={28}
height={28}
/>
),
}}
/>
<Tab.Screen
name="MainProfile"
component={MainProfileScreen}
options={{
tabBarIcon: ({ focused }) => (
<Icon.User
// color="#302f2f"
color={focused ? "#f62459" : "#302f2f"}
height={28}
width={28}
/>
),
}}
/>
</Tab.Navigator>
);
};
export default MainTabScreen;

The MainTabScreen renders inside AppStack screen which renders inside the AuthStack.js for authentication and this AuthStack.js renders inside the App.js
Here is the AppStack.js code:
const AppStack = () => {
return(
<Stack.Navigator screenOptions={{ headerShown: false }}>
<Stack.Screen name="MainTabScreen" component={MainTabScreen} />
<Stack.Screen name="Product" component={Product} />
<Stack.Screen name="OrderScreen" component={OrderScreen} />
</Stack.Navigator>
)
This is the AuthStack.js
import React, {
useState,
useEffect,
useMemo,
useReducer,
useContext,
} from "react";
import { View, Text, Platform } from "react-native";
import AppStack from "./navigation/AppStack";
import RootStack from "./navigation/RootStack";
import { AuthContext } from "./context";
import * as SecureStore from "expo-secure-store";
import LottieView from "lottie-react-native";
import { useIsMounted } from "../screens/useIsMounted";
const AuthStack = () => {
const initialLoginState = {
isLoading: true,
accessToken: null,
};
// The rest of the authentication logic...
return (
<AuthContext.Provider value={authContext}>
{loginState.accessToken !== null ? <AppStack /> : <RootStack />}
</AuthContext.Provider>
);
};
export default AuthStack;
App.js
import React from "react";
import { StyleSheet, Text, View, Dimensions } from "react-native";
import { NavigationContainer } from "@react-navigation/native";
import store from "./redux/store";
const App = () => {
return (
<Provider store={store}>
<NavigationContainer>
<AuthStack />
</NavigationContainer>
</Provider>
);
};
export default App;
