Tab

Organize and display data in tabs. The BladewindUI tab component is broken down into two parts. The tab headings and the tab content. To prevent erratic behaviour of tabs it is very important to provide a value for the name attribute. In fact, the tabs won't be rendered without you specifying a name. The example below uses pictures from Unsplash.

        
            <x-bladewind::tab name="free-pics">

                <x-slot:headings>
                    <x-bladewind::tab.heading
                        name="unsplash-1" label="Lissete Laverde" />

                    <x-bladewind::tab.heading
                        name="unsplash-2" label="Marko Pavlichenko" />

                    <x-bladewind::tab.heading
                        name="unsplash-3" active="true" label="Yoonbae Cho" />

                    <x-bladewind::tab.heading
                        name="unsplash-4" label="Sam Carter" />
                </x-slot:headings>

                <x-bladewind::tab.body>

                    <x-bladewind::tab.content name="unsplash-1">
                        <img src="/path/to/the/image/file"
                            alt="Picture by Lissete Laverde" />
                    </x-bladewind::tab.content>

                    <x-bladewind::tab.content name="unsplash-2">
                        <img src="/path/to/the/image/file"
                            alt="Picture by Marko Pavlichenko" />
                    </x-bladewind::tab.content>

                    <x-bladewind::tab.content name="unsplash-3" active="true">
                        <img src="/path/to/the/image/file"
                            alt="Picture by Yoonbae Cho" />
                    </x-bladewind::tab.content>

                    <x-bladewind::tab.content name="unsplash-4">
                        <img src="/path/to/the/image/file"
                            alt="Picture by Sam Carter" />
                    </x-bladewind::tab.content>

                </x-bladewind::tab.body>

            </x-bladewind::tab>
        
    

Let us breakdown what is happening with the tab component. We first define a tab group that will hold all the tab headings and tab content. As stated earlier, it is very important to give this tab group a name. <x-bladewind::tab name="staff-loans">.

Next, we need to define the tab headings we will click on to access the tab content. The tab headings are wrapped in a slot named headings. <x-slot:headings>. The next step is to add the individual tab headings using the <x-bladewind::tab.heading />. The individual tab headings also need to be named uniquely. The tab heading you want selected by default should have active="true". This necessarily does not need to be the first tab. If you have four tab headings and the third needs to be selected by default, set active="true" on the third tab heading.

The final bit that ties the tab component all together is the <x-bladewind::tab.body>. This is the parent component that holds all the content for each corresponding tab heading. Content for each tab heading needs to be defined in the <x-bladewind::tab.content> tag that has the same name as it's corresponding tab heading. The tab content that needs to be visible by default also needs to have active="true" set.

Different Colours

The tab component by default displays the active tab heading and its underline bar as blue. There are nine colours in total to pick from. To set your preferred colour set the color attribute on the <x-bladewind::tab> component.

        
            <x-bladewind::tab name="red-tab" color="red">
                <x-slot name="headings">

                    <x-bladewind::tab.heading
                        name="red"
                        active="true"
                        label="Active Red Tab" />

                    <x-bladewind::tab.heading
                        name="inactive-red"
                        label="The Other Tab" />

                </x-slot>

                <x-bladewind::tab.body>

                    <x-bladewind::tab.content
                        name="red"
                        active="true"></x-bladewind::tab.content>

                    <x-bladewind::tab.content
                        name="inactive-red"></x-bladewind::tab.content>

                </x-bladewind::tab.body>

            </x-bladewind::tab>
        
    

Other Tab Styles

The tab components exist in three different styles. You can specify a preferred style by setting the style attribute. The available styles are simple, system and pills. The default tab style is simple.

System Tab Style

        
                <x-bladewind::tab
                    name="sys-blue-tab"
                    style="system">

                    <x-slot:headings>
                        <x-bladewind::tab.heading
                            name="sys-blue" active="true" label="Blue System Tab" />
                        <x-bladewind::tab.heading
                            name="inactive-sys-blue" label="The Other Tab" />
                    </x-slot:headings>

                    <x-bladewind::tab.body>
                        <x-bladewind::tab.content
                            name="sys-blue" active="true">...</x-bladewind::tab.content>
                        <x-bladewind::tab.content
                            name="inactive-sys-blue">...</x-bladewind::tab.content>
                    </x-bladewind::tab.body>

                </x-bladewind::tab>
        
    

Pills tab style

        
                <x-bladewind::tab
                    name="pills-blue-tab"
                    style="pills">

                    <x-slot:headings>
                        <x-bladewind::tab.heading
                            name="pills-blue" active="true" label="Blue System Tab" />
                        <x-bladewind::tab.heading

                    </x-bladewind::tab.body>

                </x-bladewind::tab>
        
    

With Icons

You can display icon prefixes in tab headings. This uses the BladewindUI Icon component so all Heroicons are supported. You can change how the icon looks by setting the icon_css attribute. The Heroicons outline icons are used by default. To use the solid icons instead, set icon_type="solid". The icon_dir attribute allows you to specify which directory to pick your custom icons from.

        
<x-bladewind::tab name="tab-icon">
    <x-slot name="headings">
        <x-bladewind::tab.heading name="icon-blue" active="true"
            icon="shopping-cart"
            label="Shopping List" />
        <x-bladewind::tab.heading name="icon-inactive"
            label="Previous Purchases"
            icon="shopping-bag" />
        <x-bladewind::tab.heading name="icon-solid"
            label="Solid Icon"
            icon="shopping-bag"
            icon_type="solid" />
        <x-bladewind::tab.heading name="icon-solid-css" label="Icon Css Applied"
            icon="fire"
            icon_type="solid"
            icon_css="!rounded-full !bg-orange-500 text-white size-6 p-1" />
    </x-slot>
    <x-bladewind::tab.body>
        <x-bladewind::tab.content name="icon-blue" active="true">
            <img src="/assets/images/lissete-laverde-z9Ropm8edsw-unsplash.jpg"
                 alt="Picture by Lissete Laverde" />
        </x-bladewind::tab.content>
        <x-bladewind::tab.content name="icon-inactive">
            <img src="/assets/images/sam-carter-JU1SVl4smHM-unsplash.jpg" alt="Picture by Sam Carter" />
        </x-bladewind::tab.content>
        <x-bladewind::tab.content name="icon-solid">
            <img src="/assets/images/lissete-laverde-z9Ropm8edsw-unsplash.jpg" alt="Picture by Lissete Laverde" />
        </x-bladewind::tab.content>
