Hide Header in Stack Navigator React Navigation

I'm trying to switch screens using both stack and tab navigator.

const MainNavigation = StackNavigator({
      otp: { screen: OTPlogin },
      otpverify: { screen: OTPverification},
      userVerified: {
        screen: TabNavigator({
          List: { screen: List },
          Settings: { screen: Settings }
        }),
      },
    });

In this case stack navigator is used first and then tab navigator. I want to hide the headers from stack navigator. Which is not working properly when I use navigation options like::

navigationOptions: { header: { visible: false } }

i'm trying this code on first two components which are using in stacknavigator. if i use this line then getting some error like:

UPDATE as of version 5

As of version 5 it is the option headerShown in screenOptions

Example of usage:

<Stack.Navigator
  screenOptions={{
    headerShown: false
  }}
>
  <Stack.Screen name="route-name" component={ScreenComponent} />
</Stack.Navigator>

If you want only to hide the header on 1 screen you can do this by setting the screenOptions on the screen component see below for example:

<Stack.Screen options={{headerShown: false}} name="route-name" component={ScreenComponent} />

See also the blog about version 5

UPDATE
As of version 2.0.0-alpha.36 (2019-11-07),
there is a new navigationOption: headershown 

      navigationOptions: {
        headerShown: false,
      }

Old answer

I use this to hide the stack bar (notice this is the value of the second param):

{
    headerMode: 'none',
    navigationOptions: {
        headerVisible: false,
    }
}

When you use the this method it will be hidden on all screens.

In your case it will look like this:

const MainNavigation = StackNavigator({
  otp: { screen: OTPlogin },
  otpverify: { screen: OTPverification },
  userVerified: {
    screen: TabNavigator({
    List: { screen: List },
    Settings: { screen: Settings }
   }),
 }
},
{
  headerMode: 'none',
  navigationOptions: {
    headerVisible: false,
  }
 }
);

On v4 simply use below code in the page you want to hide the header

export default class Login extends Component {
    static navigationOptions = {
        header: null
    }
}

refer to Stack Navigator

In the given solution Header is hidden for HomeScreen by- options={{headerShown:false}}

<NavigationContainer>
  <Stack.Navigator>
    <Stack.Screen name="Home" component={HomeScreen} options={{headerShown:false}}/>
    <Stack.Screen name="Details" component={DetailsScreen}/>
  </Stack.Navigator>
</NavigationContainer>

Just add this into your class/component code snippet and Header will be hidden

 static navigationOptions = { header: null }
0

If your screen is a class component

static navigationOptions = ({ navigation }) => {
    return {
       header: () => null
    } 
}

code this in your targeted screen as the first method (function).

v6

headerMode prop has been removed from react navigation 6.x. Now we can use headerShown option to achieve the same result.

<Stack.Navigator screenOptions={{ headerShown: false }}>
   {/* Your screens */}
</Stack.Navigator>
