Tabs

Tabs are built on top of Spar primitives. Use Tabs.List for the tablist, Tabs.Trigger for each selectable tab, and Tabs.Content for each matching panel.

Usage

import { Tabs } from '@takeoff-ui/react-spar';

<Tabs>
  <Tabs.List>
    <Tabs.Trigger />
  </Tabs.List>
  <Tabs.Content />
</Tabs>

function PlaygroundDemo() {
  return (
    <Tabs defaultValue="overview" className="w-120">
      <Tabs.List aria-label="Booking details">

      </Tabs.Content>
    </Tabs>
  );
}

render(<PlaygroundDemo />);

Sizes

Use size on the root to scale all triggers in the set.


function SizesDemo() {
  return (
    <div className="grid gap-6">
      <Tabs size="small" defaultValue="one" className="w-120">
        <Tabs.List aria-label="Small tabs">
          <Tabs.Trigger value="one">One-way</Tabs.Trigger>
          <Tabs.Trigger value="round">Round trip</Tabs.Trigger>
          <Tabs.Trigger value="multi">Multi-city</Tabs.Trigger>
        </Tabs.List>
      </Tabs>

      <Tabs defaultValue="one" className="w-120">
        <Tabs.List aria-label="Base tabs">
          <Tabs.Trigger value="one">One-way</Tabs.Trigger>
          <Tabs.Trigger value="round">Round trip</Tabs.Trigger>
          <Tabs.Trigger value="multi">Multi-city</Tabs.Trigger>
        </Tabs.List>
      </Tabs>

      <Tabs size="large" defaultValue="one" className="w-120">
        <Tabs.List aria-label="Large tabs">
          <Tabs.Trigger value="one">One-way</Tabs.Trigger>
          <Tabs.Trigger value="round">Round trip</Tabs.Trigger>
          <Tabs.Trigger value="multi">Multi-city</Tabs.Trigger>
        </Tabs.List>
      </Tabs>
    </div>
  );
}

render(<SizesDemo />);

Orientation

Use orientation="vertical" for side navigation or settings panels where the labels need more room.


function VerticalDemo() {
  return (
    <Tabs orientation="vertical" defaultValue="fare" className="w-120">
      <Tabs.List aria-label="Fare details" className="w-40 shrink-0">
        <Tabs.Trigger value="fare">Fare</Tabs.Trigger>
        <Tabs.Trigger value="baggage">Baggage</Tabs.Trigger>
        <Tabs.Trigger value="rules">Rules</Tabs.Trigger>
      </Tabs.List>
      <Tabs.Content value="fare">
        <div className="p-4">
          Flexible economy fare with same-day change support.
        </div>
      </Tabs.Content>
      <Tabs.Content value="baggage">
        <div className="p-4">
          Includes one cabin bag and one checked bag up to 23 kg.
        </div>
      </Tabs.Content>
      <Tabs.Content value="rules">
        <div className="p-4">
          Refundable before departure; fare difference may apply.
        </div>
      </Tabs.Content>
    </Tabs>
  );
}

render(<VerticalDemo />);

Controlled State

Use value and onValueChange when another part of the interface needs to react to the current tab.


function ControlledTabsDemo() {
  const [value, setValue] = useState('scheduled');

  return (
    <div className="grid gap-3">
      <Badge className="w-fit" variant={value === 'delayed' ? 'warning' : 'success'} appearance="outlined">
        Status: {value}
      </Badge>
      <Tabs value={value} onValueChange={setValue} className="w-120">
        <Tabs.List aria-label="Flight status">
          <Tabs.Trigger value="scheduled">Scheduled</Tabs.Trigger>
          <Tabs.Trigger value="boarding">Boarding</Tabs.Trigger>
          <Tabs.Trigger value="delayed">Delayed</Tabs.Trigger>
        </Tabs.List>
      </Tabs>
    </div>
  );
}

render(<ControlledTabsDemo />);

Appearance

Use appearance to switch between basic, compact, divided, and expanded.


function AppearanceDemo() {
  return (
    <div className="grid justify-items-center gap-6">
      <Tabs appearance="basic" defaultValue="flights">
        <Tabs.List aria-label="Basic tabs">
          <Tabs.Trigger value="flights">Flights</Tabs.Trigger>
          <Tabs.Trigger value="hotels">Hotels</Tabs.Trigger>
          <Tabs.Trigger value="cars">Cars</Tabs.Trigger>
        </Tabs.List>
      </Tabs>

      <Tabs appearance="compact" defaultValue="flights">
        <Tabs.List aria-label="Compact tabs">
          <Tabs.Trigger value="flights">Flights</Tabs.Trigger>
          <Tabs.Trigger value="hotels">Hotels</Tabs.Trigger>
          <Tabs.Trigger value="cars">Cars</Tabs.Trigger>
        </Tabs.List>
      </Tabs>

      <Tabs appearance="divided" defaultValue="flights">
        <Tabs.List aria-label="Divided tabs">
          <Tabs.Trigger value="flights">Flights</Tabs.Trigger>
          <Tabs.Trigger value="hotels">Hotels</Tabs.Trigger>
          <Tabs.Trigger value="cars">Cars</Tabs.Trigger>
        </Tabs.List>
      </Tabs>

      <Tabs appearance="expanded" defaultValue="flights">
        <Tabs.List aria-label="Expanded tabs">
          <Tabs.Trigger value="flights">Flights</Tabs.Trigger>
          <Tabs.Trigger value="hotels">Hotels</Tabs.Trigger>
          <Tabs.Trigger value="cars">Cars</Tabs.Trigger>
        </Tabs.List>
      </Tabs>
    </div>
  );
}

render(<AppearanceDemo />);

Variant

Use variant to change the active tab color treatment between primary, info, and neutral.


function VariantDemo() {
  return (
    <div className="grid gap-6">
      <Tabs variant="primary" defaultValue="overview">
        <Tabs.List aria-label="Primary tabs">
          <Tabs.Trigger value="overview">Overview</Tabs.Trigger>
          <Tabs.Trigger value="pricing">Pricing</Tabs.Trigger>
          <Tabs.Trigger value="rules">Rules</Tabs.Trigger>
        </Tabs.List>
      </Tabs>

      <Tabs variant="info" defaultValue="overview">
        <Tabs.List aria-label="Info tabs">
          <Tabs.Trigger value="overview">Overview</Tabs.Trigger>
          <Tabs.Trigger value="pricing">Pricing</Tabs.Trigger>
          <Tabs.Trigger value="rules">Rules</Tabs.Trigger>
        </Tabs.List>
      </Tabs>

      <Tabs variant="neutral" defaultValue="overview">
        <Tabs.List aria-label="Neutral tabs">
          <Tabs.Trigger value="overview">Overview</Tabs.Trigger>
          <Tabs.Trigger value="pricing">Pricing</Tabs.Trigger>
          <Tabs.Trigger value="rules">Rules</Tabs.Trigger>
        </Tabs.List>
      </Tabs>
    </div>
  );
}

render(<VariantDemo />);

Render Props

Tabs.Trigger children can be a function receiving isSelected, disabled, isFocused, orientation, and select.


function RenderPropDemo() {
  return (
    <Tabs defaultValue="mobile">
      <Tabs.List aria-label="Check-in channel">
        <Tabs.Trigger value="mobile">
          {({ isSelected }) => (isSelected ? 'Mobile selected' : 'Mobile')}
        </Tabs.Trigger>
        <Tabs.Trigger value="counter">
          {({ isSelected }) => (isSelected ? 'Counter selected' : 'Counter')}
        </Tabs.Trigger>
        <Tabs.Trigger value="kiosk" disabled>
          Kiosk closed
        </Tabs.Trigger>
      </Tabs.List>
      <Tabs.Content value="mobile">Mobile check-in opens 24 hours before departure.</Tabs.Content>
      <Tabs.Content value="counter">Airport counters open 3 hours before departure.</Tabs.Content>
    </Tabs>
  );
}

render(<RenderPropDemo />);

Closable Triggers

Render the close affordance inside Tabs.Trigger children and stop the click from bubbling when you remove the tab from your own state.


function ClosableDemo() {
  const [tabs, setTabs] = useState(['outbound', 'return', 'extras']);
  const [active, setActive] = useState('outbound');
  const labels = {
    outbound: 'Outbound',
    return: 'Return',
    extras: 'Extras',
  };

  const closeTab = (value) => {
    const nextTabs = tabs.filter((item) => item !== value);
    setTabs(nextTabs);
    if (active !== value) {
      return;
    }

    if (nextTabs.length === 0) {
      setActive(undefined);
      return;
    }

    setActive(nextTabs[Math.max(0, tabs.indexOf(value) - 1)]);
  };

  const getCloseClasses = (isSelected) =>
    'inline-flex h-4 w-4 items-center justify-center';

  const handleCloseKeyDown = (event, value) => {
    if (event.key !== 'Enter' && event.key !== ' ') {
      return;
    }

    event.preventDefault();
    event.stopPropagation();
    closeTab(value);
  };

  return (
    <Tabs value={active} onValueChange={setActive} variant="info">
      <Tabs.List aria-label="Closable itinerary tabs">
        {tabs.map((tab) => (
          <Tabs.Trigger key={tab} value={tab}>
            {({ isSelected }) => (
              <span className="inline-flex items-center gap-2">
                <span>{labels[tab]}</span>
                <span
                  role="button"
                  tabIndex={0}
                  aria-label={'Close ' + tab}
                  className={getCloseClasses(isSelected)}
                  onClick={(event) => {
                    event.preventDefault();
                    event.stopPropagation();
                    closeTab(tab);
                  }}
                  onKeyDown={(event) => handleCloseKeyDown(event, tab)}
                >
                  x
                </span>
              </span>
            )}
          </Tabs.Trigger>
        ))}
      </Tabs.List>
      {tabs.includes('outbound') && <Tabs.Content value="outbound">Outbound segment review.</Tabs.Content>}
      {tabs.includes('return') && <Tabs.Content value="return">Return segment review.</Tabs.Content>}
      {tabs.includes('extras') && <Tabs.Content value="extras">Ancillary services and seat add-ons.</Tabs.Content>}
    </Tabs>
  );
}

render(<ClosableDemo />);

Accessibility & Keyboard

Tabs.List renders role="tablist" and wires aria-orientation.
Tabs.Trigger renders a role="tab" button with aria-selected and aria-controls connected to its matching panel.
Tabs.Content renders role="tabpanel" and lazy-mounts by default. Use forceMount when inactive panels must stay in the DOM.

Key	Behavior
`Tab`	Move focus into the active tab, then into the active panel.
`↓` / `→`	Move to the next tab for matching orientation.
`↑` / `←`	Move to the previous tab for matching orientation.
`Home`	Move to the first enabled tab.
`End`	Move to the last enabled tab.
`Enter`/`Space`	Activate the focused tab when `activationMode="manual"`.
