How to hide Tab conditionally in react-navigation?

I want to hide one of my tabs conditionally if user login,

So I have 5 Tabs If user login\register I get a boolean from a redux store, if this user login i want to how a "Library tab" if not login, i don't want to show this tab "Library" with others and just keep 4 tabs in the App

Code 

import {createAppContainer} from 'react-navigation';
import {createBottomTabNavigator} from 'react-navigation-tabs';

let {isLogin} = store.getState().user;


const TabHome = createBottomTabNavigator(
  {
    Home: {
      screen: Home,
      navigationOptions: {
        tabBarLabel: 'Home',
      },
    },
    Browse: {
      screen: Browse,
      navigationOptions: {
        tabBarLabel: 'Browse',
      },
    },
    Search: {
      screen: Search,
      navigationOptions: {
        tabBarLabel: 'Search',
        headerShown: false,
      },
    },
    Radio: {
      screen: Radio,
      navigationOptions: {
        tabBarLabel: 'Radio',
      },
    },
    Library: isLogin ? (
      {
        screen: YourLibrary,
        navigationOptions: {
          tabBarLabel: 'Library',
        },
      }
    ) : (
      <View /> // Or :null => Not work and got the under error msg
    ),
    // Library: {
    //   screen: YourLibrary,
    // },
  },
)

export default createAppContainer(TabHome);

Error: The component for route 'Library' must be a React component. For example:

import MyScreen from './MyScreen'; ... Library: MyScreen, }

You can also use a navigator:

import MyNavigator from './MyNavigator'; ... Library: MyNavigator, }

In React Navigation v5:

import * as React from 'react';
import { Text, View } from 'react-native';
import { NavigationContainer } from '@react-navigation/native';
import { createBottomTabNavigator } from '@react-navigation/bottom-tabs';
import MaterialCommunityIcons from 'react-native-vector-icons/MaterialCommunityIcons';

function HomeScreen(props) {
  return (
    <View style={{ flex: 1, justifyContent: 'center', alignItems: 'center' }}>
      <Text>Home!</Text>
    </View>
  );
}

function SettingsScreen() {
  return (
    <View style={{ flex: 1, justifyContent: 'center', alignItems: 'center' }}>
      <Text>Settings!</Text>
    </View>
  );
}

function AboutScreen() {
  return (
    <View style={{ flex: 1, justifyContent: 'center', alignItems: 'center' }}>
      <Text>About!</Text>
    </View>
  );
}

const Tab = createBottomTabNavigator();

function MyTabs() {
  const [showTab, setShowTab] = React.useState(true);

  // Show the about tab after 5 seconds.
  // Change this to use Redux or however
  // you would like to change which tabs are displayed
  setTimeout(() => {
    setShowTab(false);
    console.log('Hide tab');
  }, 5000);

  return (
    <Tab.Navigator>
      <Tab.Screen
        name="Home"
        component={HomeScreen}
        options={{
          tabBarLabel: 'Home',
          tabBarIcon: ({ color, size }) => (
            <MaterialCommunityIcons name="home" color={color} size={size} />
          ),
        }}
      />
      {showTab ? (
        <Tab.Screen
          name="About"
          component={AboutScreen}
          options={{
            tabBarLabel: 'About',
            tabBarIcon: ({ color, size }) => (
              <MaterialCommunityIcons name="book" color={color} size={size} />
            ),
          }}
        />
      ) : null}
      <Tab.Screen
        name="Settings"
        component={SettingsScreen}
        options={{
          tabBarLabel: 'Settings',
          tabBarIcon: ({ color, size }) => (
            <MaterialCommunityIcons name="settings" color={color} size={size} />
          ),
        }}
      />
    </Tab.Navigator>
  );
}

export default function App() {
  return (
    <NavigationContainer>
      <MyTabs />
    </NavigationContainer>
  );
}

remove Library tab definition from TabHome and add it just before exporting the component:

if(isLogin) {
  TabHome.Library = {
    screen: YourLibrary,
    navigationOptions: {
      tabBarLabel: 'Library',
    }
  }
}

export default createAppContainer(TabHome)

You'd know that you can override the Tabbar Component and add your own logic for it? Maybe this gives you an Idea about that: https://stackoverflow.com/a/58520533/1256697

Maybe this way, you can set conditional styles to show or hide single items of your TabBar.
