Header for DrawerNavigation with react-navigation

You can achieve it using contentComponent option in drawer nav config. Two ways you could do it based on the level of configuration required:

Method 1.

DrawerItems from react-navigation(handles navigation on its own) -

import {DrawerItems, DrawerNavigation} from 'react-navigation';
export default DrawerNavigator({
// ... your screens
}, {
// define customComponent here
contentComponent: (props) =>
<View style={{flex: 1}}>
<Text>Header</Text>
<ScrollView>
<DrawerItems {...props} />
</ScrollView>
</View>
});

This creates a fixed header with scroll view for the menu items below it.

Method 2.

Creating your own custom component -

import { DrawerNavigation } from 'react-navigation'
export default DrawerNavigator({
// ... your screens
}, {
// define customComponent here
contentComponent: props => <SideMenu {...props}>
});

Here SideMenu is your own component to display in the drawer. You can use react-navigation NavigationActions.navigate(screen) to handle routing on onPress of menu items.

For Drawer Navigation, you Can add Your own Header & Footer and Make Your Own Styles with contentComponent Config:
First import { DrawerItems, DrawerNavigation } from 'react-navigation' Then

Header Before DrawerItems:

contentComponent: props => <ScrollView><Text>Your Own Header Area Before</Text><DrawerItems {...props} /></ScrollView> .

Footer After DrawerItems:

contentComponent: props => <ScrollView><DrawerItems {...props} /><Text>Your Own Footer Area After</Text></ScrollView> .

nested navigator should be like this:

const Router = StackNavigator({
    Home: {screen: HomeScreen},
    Test: {screen: TestScreen}
}, {
    navigationOptions: {
        headerStyle: {backgroundColor: '#2980b9'},
        headerTintColor: '#fff'
    }
});

const Drawer = DrawerNavigator({
    App: {screen: Router}
});

You can implement custom content component for drawer. There you can also simply render navigation items using DrawerItems. For example:

import React from 'react'
import { Text, View } from 'react-native'
import { DrawerItems, DrawerNavigation } from 'react-navigation'

const DrawerContent = (props) => (
  <View>
    <View
      style={{
        backgroundColor: '#f50057',
        height: 140,
        alignItems: 'center',
        justifyContent: 'center',
      }}
    >
      <Text style={{ color: 'white', fontSize: 30 }}>
        Header
      </Text>
    </View>
    <DrawerItems {...props} />
  </View>
)

const Navigation = DrawerNavigator({
  // ... your screens
}, {
  // define customComponent here
  contentComponent: DrawerContent,
})
