# NavigableContainers
`NavigableContainer` is a React component to render a container navigable using the keyboard. Only things that are focusable can be navigated to. It will currently always be a `div`.
`NavigableContainer` is exported as two classes: `NavigableMenu` and `TabbableContainer`. `NavigableContainer` itself is **not** exported. `NavigableMenu` and `TabbableContainer` have the props listed below. Any other props will be passed through to the `div`.
---
## Props
These are the props that `NavigableMenu` and `TabbableContainer`. Any props which are specific to one class are labelled appropriately.
### onNavigate
A callback invoked when the menu navigates to one of its children passing the index and child as an argument
- Type: `Function`
- Required: No
### cycle
A boolean which tells the component whether or not to cycle from the end back to the beginning and vice versa.
- Type: `Boolean`
- Required: No
- default: true
### orientation (NavigableMenu only)
The orientation of the menu. It could be "vertical", "horizontal" or "both"
- Type: `String`
- Required: No
- Default: `"vertical"`
## Classes
### NavigableMenu
A NavigableMenu allows movement up and down (or left and right) the component via the arrow keys. The `tab` key is not handled. The `orientation` prop is used to determine whether the arrow keys used are vertical, horizontal or both.
### TabbableContainer
A `TabbableContainer` will only be navigated using the `tab` key. Every intended tabstop must have a tabIndex `0`.
### Usage
```jsx
import {
NavigableMenu,
TabbableContainer,
Button,
} from '@wordpress/components';
function onNavigate( index, target ) {
console.log( `Navigates to ${ index }`, target );
}
const MyNavigableContainer = () => (
<div>
<span>Navigable Menu:</span>
<NavigableMenu onNavigate={ onNavigate } orientation="horizontal">
<Button isSecondary>Item 1</Button>
<Button isSecondary>Item 2</Button>
<Button isSecondary>Item 3</Button>
</NavigableMenu>
<span>Tabbable Container:</span>
<TabbableContainer onNavigate={ onNavigate }>
<Button isSecondary tabIndex="0">
Section 1
</Button>
<Button isSecondary tabIndex="0">
Section 2
</Button>
<Button isSecondary tabIndex="0">
Section 3
</Button>
<Button isSecondary tabIndex="0">
Section 4
</Button>
</TabbableContainer>
</div>
);
```
