const tabClassName = 'flex h-[calc(2rem+1px)] items-center justify-center bg-transparent px-2 py-0 font-inherit text-sm font-normal leading-5 break-keep whitespace-nowrap text-neutral-600 outline-none select-none hover:text-neutral-950 focus-visible:outline-2 focus-visible:outline-solid focus-visible:-outline-offset-1 focus-visible:outline-neutral-950 dark:focus-visible:outline-white data-active:text-neutral-950 dark:text-neutral-300 dark:hover:text-white dark:data-active:text-white';

} ``` ## Anatomy Import the component and assemble its parts: ```jsx title="Anatomy" import { Tabs } from '@base-ui/react/tabs'; <Tabs.Root> <Tabs.List> <Tabs.Tab /> <Tabs.Indicator /> </Tabs.List> <Tabs.Panel /> </Tabs.Root>; ``` ## Examples ### Links Use the `render` prop and set `nativeButton={false}` on `<Tabs.Tab>` to render tabs as anchor elements. ```jsx title="Tabs as links" import { Tabs } from '@base-ui/react/tabs'; import Link from 'next/link'; <Tabs.Root> <Tabs.List> {/* @highlight-start */} {/* @highlight-text "nativeButton={false}" "render" */} <Tabs.Tab nativeButton={false} render={<Link href="/overview" />} value="overview"> Overview </Tabs.Tab> {/* @highlight-end */} </Tabs.List> {/* ... */} </Tabs.Root>;
