Remove back button to sibling stack in react native

Question

I am trying to remove the header (see image) on sibling navigators.

I have a stackNavigator like so:

const navigator = createStackNavigator({
  'route': RouteComponent,
  'sibling1': Sibling1Navigator,
  'sibling2': Sibling2Navigator,
},
{
  ...defaultNavigationOptions,
  // @ts-ignore
  headerLayoutPreset: 'center',
  headerMode: 'screen',
})

sibling1Navigator looks like this:

    const Sibling1Navigator = createStackNavigator(
  {
    'route1': Route1Component,
    'route1': Route2Component,
    'route3': Route3Component,
  },
  {
    transitionConfig: HorizontalSlideTransitionConfig,
    navigationOptions: ({ navigation: { goBack, state, navigate } }) => {
      return {
        headerTransparent: true,
        headerStyle: {
          backgroundColor: '#FFF0',
        },
        headerLeft: (
          // tslint:disable-next-line
          <Button />
        ),
      }
    },
  },
)

I use a header on route to show a title but on routes route1 or route2 I don't want the back to page (like image).

I am using react-navigation: ^2.17.0

I have seen lots of examples of how to do this. the simplest would be to add the config to each page. I have had a look at all the answers on this question similar question but I was hoping there was something I could do with the stackNavigators. Is there another way of doing it or does it have to be done inside of the component?

You can hide the header by setting header style height and width to zero in React Navigation,

eg:

const SignInStack = createStackNavigator({
    sign: { screen: SignIn, 
        navigationOptions: {
            headerStyle: {
                height: 0,
                width: 0,
            },
        },
       },
});

or

const SignInStack = createStackNavigator({
        sign: SignIn,
    }, 
    {
        navigationOptions: {
            headerStyle: {
               height: 0,
               width: 0,
            }
       }
    }
);

I worked this out by following the docs on from A tab navigator contains a stack and you want to hide the tab bar on specific screens

I split my navigators up as per the docs said is the recommended way of doing it.

Here is my new code to give the example of what I did.

    const navigator = createStackNavigator({
  'route': RouteComponent,
},
{
  ...defaultNavigationOptions,
  // @ts-ignore
  headerLayoutPreset: 'center',
  headerMode: 'screen',
})

const ParentNavigator = createStackNavigator({
  'Another route': AnotherNavigator,
  'sibling1': Sibling1Navigator,
  'sibling2': Sibling2Navigator,
}, {
  headerMode: 'none',
  navigationOptions: ({ navigation: { goBack, state, navigate } }) => {
    return {
      tabBarVisible: false,
    }
  },
})

So in the parent stackNavigator I remove the header I can also remove tabBar as well.

Hope this helps anyone looking for the same question I had.
