Joose Tabs Component

A lightweight, minimal and unstyled tab component. This component belongs to the Joose component library, but can be used completely independently.

Please see joose for the whole component library.

The package includes a basic CSS file (along with source Sass files) to handle the showing and hiding of content as an example. No styling has been applied other than simple show/hide. This means you can have horizontally aligned tabs or vertically aligned tabs. You can utilise the existing HTML/CSS as per the example, or you can add your own classes / selectors of your choice and customise as you wish, for example to add animations or effects.

Installation

To install this component independently using bower use the following command:

bower install joose-tabs

To install this component independently using npm use the following command:

npm install joose-tabs

Usage

The tabs can be initialised in two different ways
var componentTabs = new joose.classes.Tabs('componentContainer', 1);
or
<section id="tabsContainer" data-component="tabs" data-default-tab="1">

On page load the script searches the page for the data-component attribute to pick up any components that haven't been manually initialised using the new keyword as demonstrated above.

Here is an example of the HTML required for the tabset:

<section id="tabs" data-component="tabs" data-default-tab="1">
    <ul>
        <li><a href="#lorem1" id="lorem1Trigger" aria-controls="lorem1">Lorem 1</a></li>
        <li><a href="#lorem2" id="lorem2Trigger" aria-controls="lorem2">Lorem 2</a></li>
        <li><a href="#lorem3" id="lorem3Trigger" aria-controls="lorem3">Lorem 3</a></li>
    </ul>
    <section id="lorem1" aria-labelledby="lorem1Trigger">
        <p>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Nullam vestibulum mi ut turpis dictum, id mollis eros porttitor. Phasellus consectetur convallis ante, quis condimentum arcu fringilla vitae.</p>
    </section>
    <section id="lorem2" aria-labelledby="lorem2Trigger">
        <p>Donec in semper odio. Fusce eu lacinia leo. Donec ultrices scelerisque velit, in malesuada neque maximus in.</p>
    </section>
    <section id="lorem3" aria-labelledby="lorem3Trigger">
        <p>Praesent sed erat at risus luctus pulvinar. Aenean et rutrum odio. Sed non porta arcu.</p>
    </section>
</section>
