Tabs

Tabs are a set of layered sections of content—known as tab panels that are displayed one at a time. They facilitate the organization and navigation between sets of content that share a connection and exist at a similar level of hierarchy.

Basic Example

rx.tabs.root(
    rx.tabs.list(
        rx.tabs.trigger("Tab 1", value="tab1"),
        rx.tabs.trigger("Tab 2", value="tab2"),
    ),
    rx.tabs.content(
        rx.text("item on tab 1"),
        value="tab1",
    ),
    rx.tabs.content(
        rx.text("item on tab 2"),
        value="tab2",
    ),
)

The tabs component is made up of a rx.tabs.root which groups rx.tabs.list and rx.tabs.content parts.

Styling

Default value

We use the default_value prop to set a default active tab, this will select the specified tab by default.

item on tab 2

rx.tabs.root(
    rx.tabs.list(
        rx.tabs.trigger("Tab 1", value="tab1"),
        rx.tabs.trigger("Tab 2", value="tab2"),
    ),
    rx.tabs.content(
        rx.text("item on tab 1"),
        value="tab1",
    ),
    rx.tabs.content(
        rx.text("item on tab 2"),
        value="tab2",
    ),
    default_value="tab2",
)

Orientation

We use orientation prop to set the orientation of the tabs component to vertical or horizontal. By default, the orientation will be set to horizontal. Setting this value will change both the visual orientation and the functional orientation.

The functional orientation means for vertical, the up and down arrow keys moves focus between the next or previous tab, while for horizontal, the left and right arrow keys moves focus between tabs.

When using vertical orientation, make sure to assign a tabs.content for each trigger.

item on tab 1

rx.tabs.root(
    rx.tabs.list(
        rx.tabs.trigger("Tab 1", value="tab1"),
        rx.tabs.trigger("Tab 2", value="tab2"),
    ),
    rx.tabs.content(
        rx.text("item on tab 1"),
        value="tab1",
    ),
    rx.tabs.content(
        rx.text("item on tab 2"),
        value="tab2",
    ),
    default_value="tab1",
    orientation="vertical",
)

item on tab 1

rx.tabs.root(
    rx.tabs.list(
        rx.tabs.trigger("Tab 1", value="tab1"),
        rx.tabs.trigger("Tab 2", value="tab2"),
    ),
    rx.tabs.content(
        rx.text("item on tab 1"),
        value="tab1",
    ),
    rx.tabs.content(
        rx.text("item on tab 2"),
        value="tab2",
    ),
    default_value="tab1",
    orientation="horizontal",
)

Value

We use the value prop to specify the controlled value of the tab that we want to activate. This property should be used in conjunction with the on_change event argument.

tab1 clicked !

items on tab 1

class TabsState(rx.State):
    """The app state."""

    value = "tab1"
    tab_selected = ""

    def change_value(self, val):
        self.tab_selected = f"{val} clicked!"
        self.value = val


def index() -> rx.Component:
    return rx.container(
        rx.flex(
            rx.text(f"{TabsState.value}  clicked !"),
            rx.tabs.root(
                rx.tabs.list(
                    rx.tabs.trigger("Tab 1", value="tab1"),
                    rx.tabs.trigger("Tab 2", value="tab2"),
                ),
                rx.tabs.content(
                    rx.text("items on tab 1"),
                    value="tab1",
                ),
                rx.tabs.content(
                    rx.text("items on tab 2"),
                    value="tab2",
                ),
                default_value="tab1",
                value=TabsState.value,
                on_change=lambda x: TabsState.change_value(
                    x
                ),
            ),
            direction="column",
            spacing="2",
        ),
        padding="2em",
        font_size="2em",
        text_align="center",
    )

Tablist

The Tablist is used to list the respective tabs to the tab component

Tab Trigger

This is the button that activates the tab's associated content. It is typically used in the Tablist

Styling

Value

We use the value prop to assign a unique value that associates the trigger with content.

rx.tabs.root(
    rx.tabs.list(
        rx.tabs.trigger("Tab 1", value="tab1"),
        rx.tabs.trigger("Tab 2", value="tab2"),
        rx.tabs.trigger("Tab 3", value="tab3"),
    ),
)

Disable

We use the disabled prop to disable the tab.

rx.tabs.root(
    rx.tabs.list(
        rx.tabs.trigger("Tab 1", value="tab1"),
        rx.tabs.trigger("Tab 2", value="tab2"),
        rx.tabs.trigger(
            "Tab 3", value="tab3", disabled=True
        ),
    ),
)

Tabs Content

Contains the content associated with each trigger.

Styling

Value

We use the value prop to assign a unique value that associates the content with a trigger.

rx.tabs.root(
    rx.tabs.list(
        rx.tabs.trigger("Tab 1", value="tab1"),
        rx.tabs.trigger("Tab 2", value="tab2"),
    ),
    rx.tabs.content(
        rx.text("item on tab 1"),
        value="tab1",
    ),
    rx.tabs.content(
        rx.text("item on tab 2"),
        value="tab2",
    ),
    default_value="tab1",
    orientation="vertical",
)
