tabs

Accessible tabs, where aria states are automatically added.

$ npm install vanilla-js-tabs

var Tabs = require('vanilla-js-tabs');

Browser Global

<script src="iife/tabs.js"></script>

| Option | Type | Default Value | Info | | ------ | ---- | ------------- | ---- | | tablist | string | '.tablist' | refers to the selector on the tablist | | target | string | '.tab' | refers to the selector on the tabs | | panel | string | '.panel' | refers to the selector on the tab panels | | prefix | string | 'Tabs-' | sets the prefix for the ID/aria label if no ID is detected | | hashEnabled | boolean | true | activates tabs based on URL hash |

API

var tabs = new Tabs(document.getElementById('Example1'));

tabs.on('update', i => {
    console.log('index', i); // index 0, index 1, index 0
});

tabs.activate(0); // activates tab with a specific index
tabs.activateNext();
tabs.activatePrevious();
tabs.destroy();

I left out the ctrl + pageup and ctrl + pagedown interactions, since those are already used to switch between browser tabs in Firefox and Chrome.
