Basic Example

Tabs are built using the headless-tab-group, headless-tab, and headlessTabPanel components. By default the first tab is selected, and clicking on any tab will activate the corresponding panel.

<headless-tab-group>
  <div>
    <headless-tab>Tab 1</headless-tab>
    <headless-tab>Tab 2</headless-tab>
    <headless-tab>Tab 3</headless-tab>
  </div>

  <!-- You can use the headlessTabPanel as a component -->
  <headlessTabPanel>Content 1</headlessTabPanel>
  <headlessTabPanel>Content 2</headlessTabPanel>
  <headlessTabPanel>Content 3</headlessTabPanel>

  <!--or as a directive
    <div headlessTabPanel>Content 1</div>
    <div headlessTabPanel>Content 2</div>
    <div headlessTabPanel>Content 3</div>
  -->
</headless-tab-group>

Styling the selected tab

This is a headless component so there are no styles included by default. Instead, the components expose useful information via bound classes that you can use to apply styles yourself.

To style the selected Tab, use the selected class selected-headless-tab, which tells you whether or not that tab is currently selected. For flexiblity, the clas unselected-headless-tab is also available for use.

.selected-headless-tab {
  @apply bg-white shadow;
}
.unselected-headless-tab {
  @apply text-blue-100 hover:bg-white/[0.12] hover:text-white;
}

Disabling a tab

To disable a tab, use the disabled input property on the headlessTabPanel component. Disabled tabs cannot be selected with the mouse.

<headless-tab-group>
  <div>
    <headless-tab [disabled]="true">Tab 1</headless-tab>
    <headless-tab>Tab 2</headless-tab>
    <headless-tab>Tab 3</headless-tab>
  </div>

  <headlessTabPanel>Content 1</headlessTabPanel>
  <headlessTabPanel>Content 2</headlessTabPanel>
  <headlessTabPanel>Content 3</headlessTabPanel>
</headless-tab-group>

<!-- If you are creating tabs from component data  -->
<headless-tab-group>
  <div>
    <headless-tab
      *ngFor="let tabName of ['Recent', 'Popular', 'Trending']"
      [disabled]="tabName === 'Recent'"
    >
      {{ tabName }}
    </headless-tab>
  </div>

  <headlessTabPanel>Content 1</headlessTabPanel>
  <headlessTabPanel>Content 2</headlessTabPanel>
  <headlessTabPanel>Content 3</headlessTabPanel>
</headless-tab-group>

To style disabled tabs, use the disabled class disabled-headless-tab, which tells you whether or not that tab is currently disabled.

.disabled-headless-tab {
  @apply text-red-300 bg-yellow-700 hover:bg-white/[0.12] hover:text-white;
}

Specifying the default tab

To change which tab is selected by default, use the defaultTabIndex="number" property on the TabGroup component.

<headless-tab-group [defaultTabIndex]="2">
  <div>
    <headless-tab>Tab 1</headless-tab>
    <headless-tab>Tab 2</headless-tab>
    <headless-tab>Tab 3</headless-tab>
  </div>

  <headlessTabPanel>Content 1</headlessTabPanel>
  <headlessTabPanel>Content 2</headlessTabPanel>
  <headlessTabPanel>Content 3</headlessTabPanel>
</headless-tab-group>

Listening for changes

To run a function whenever the selected tab changes, listen to emissions from the (changeTab) EventEmitter on the TabGroup component. (changeTab) emits the index ($event) of the active tab.

<headless-tab-group (changeTab)="listenToChangeInTabs($event)">
  <div>
    <headless-tab>Tab 1</headless-tab>
    <headless-tab>Tab 2</headless-tab>
    <headless-tab>Tab 3</headless-tab>
  </div>

  <headlessTabPanel>Content 1</headlessTabPanel>
  <headlessTabPanel>Content 2</headlessTabPanel>
  <headlessTabPanel>Content 3</headlessTabPanel>
</headless-tab-group>
