# Tabs
> Create a widget of tabbable panes of _local content_. The tabs component is built upon navs and
> cards internally, and provides full keyboard navigation control of the tabs.
For navigation based tabs (i.e. tabs that would change the URL), use the
[`<b-nav>`](/docs/components/nav) component instead.
## Basic usage
```html
<div>
<b-tabs content-class="mt-3">
<b-tab title="First" active><p>I'm the first tab</p></b-tab>
<b-tab title="Second"><p>I'm the second tab</p></b-tab>
<b-tab title="Disabled" disabled><p>I'm a disabled tab!</p></b-tab>
</b-tabs>
</div>
<!-- b-tabs.vue -->
```
**Tip:** You should supply each child `<b-tab>` component a unique `key` value if dynamically adding
or removing `<b-tab>` components (i.e. `v-if` or for loops). The `key` attribute is a special Vue
attribute, see https://vuejs.org/v2/api/#key.
## Cards integration
Tabs support integrating with Bootstrap cards. Just add the `card` property to `<b-tabs>` and place
it inside a `<b-card>` component. Note that you should add the`no-body` prop on the `<b-card>`
component in order to properly decorate the card header and remove the extra padding introduced by
`card-body`.
```html
<div>
<b-card no-body>
<b-tabs card>
<b-tab title="Tab 1" active>
<b-card-text>Tab contents 1</b-card-text>
</b-tab>
<b-tab title="Tab 2">
<b-card-text>Tab contents 2</b-card-text>
</b-tab>
</b-tabs>
</b-card>
</div>
<!-- b-tabs-card.vue -->
```
When `<b-tabs>` is in `card` mode, each `<b-tab>` sub-component will automatically have the
`card-body` class applied (this class provides the padding around the tab content). To disable the
`card-body` class, set the `no-body` prop on the `<b-tab>` sub component.
```html
<div>
<b-card no-body>
<b-tabs card>
<b-tab no-body title="Picture 1">
<b-card-img bottom src="https://picsum.photos/600/200/?image=21" alt="Image 21"></b-card-img>
<b-card-footer>Picture 1 footer</b-card-footer>
</b-tab>
<b-tab no-body title="Picture 2">
<b-card-img bottom src="https://picsum.photos/600/200/?image=25" alt="Image 25"></b-card-img>
<b-card-footer>Picture 2 footer</b-card-footer>
</b-tab>
<b-tab no-body title="Picture 3">
<b-card-img bottom src="https://picsum.photos/600/200/?image=26" alt="Image 26"></b-card-img>
<b-card-footer>Picture 3 footer</b-card-footer>
</b-tab>
<b-tab title="Text">
<b-card-title>This tab does not have the <code>no-body</code> prop set</b-card-title>
<b-card-text>
Quis magna Lorem anim amet ipsum do mollit sit cillum voluptate ex nulla tempor. Laborum
consequat non elit enim exercitation cillum aliqua consequat id aliqua. Esse ex
consectetur mollit voluptate est in duis laboris ad sit ipsum anim Lorem. Incididunt
veniam velit elit elit veniam Lorem aliqua quis ullamco deserunt sit enim elit aliqua
esse irure.
</b-card-text>
</b-tab>
</b-tabs>
</b-card>
</div>
<!-- b-tabs-card-no-body.vue -->
```
**Note:** Setting the `no-body` prop on `<b-tab>` will have no affect when `<b-tabs>` is not in
`card` mode (as the `card-body` class is only set when in `card` mode).
Refer to the [Cards documentation](/docs/components/card) for more details on card components.
## Pills variant
Tabs use the `tabs` styling by default. Just add `pills` property to `<b-tabs>` for the pill style
variant.
```html
<div>
<b-card no-body>
<b-tabs pills card>
<b-tab title="Tab 1" active><b-card-text>Tab contents 1</b-card-text></b-tab>
<b-tab title="Tab 2"><b-card-text>Tab contents 2</b-card-text></b-tab>
</b-tabs>
</b-card>
</div>
<!-- b-tabs-pills.vue -->
```
## Fill and justify
Force your `<b-tabs>` controls to extend the full available width.
### Fill
To proportionately fill all available space with your tab controls, set the `fill` prop. Notice that
all horizontal space is occupied, but not every control has the same width.
```html
<div>
<b-tabs content-class="mt-3" fill>
<b-tab title="First" active><p>I'm the first tab</p></b-tab>
<b-tab title="Second"><p>I'm the second tab</p></b-tab>
<b-tab title="Very, very long title"><p>I'm the tab with the very, very long title</p></b-tab>
<b-tab title="Disabled" disabled><p>I'm a disabled tab!</p></b-tab>
</b-tabs>
</div>
<!-- b-tabs-fill.vue -->
```
### Justified
For equal-width controls, use the `justified` prop instead. All horizontal space will be occupied by
the controls, but unlike using `fill` above, every control will be the same width.
```html
<div>
<b-tabs content-class="mt-3" justified>
<b-tab title="First" active><p>I'm the first tab</p></b-tab>
<b-tab title="Second"><p>I'm the second tab</p></b-tab>
<b-tab title="Very, very long title"><p>I'm the tab with the very, very long title</p></b-tab>
<b-tab title="Disabled" disabled><p>I'm a disabled tab!</p></b-tab>
</b-tabs>
</div>
<!-- b-tabs-justified.vue -->
```
## Alignment
To align your tab controls, use the `align` prop. Available values are `left`, `center` and `right`.
```html
<div>
<b-tabs content-class="mt-3" align="center">
<b-tab title="First" active><p>I'm the first tab</p></b-tab>
<b-tab title="Second"><p>I'm the second tab</p></b-tab>
<b-tab title="Disabled" disabled><p>I'm a disabled tab!</p></b-tab>
</b-tabs>
</div>
<!-- b-tabs-alignment.vue -->
```
## Bottom placement of tab controls
Visually move the tab controls to the bottom by setting the prop `end`.
```html
<div>
<b-card no-body>
<b-tabs pills card end>
<b-tab title="Tab 1" active><b-card-text>Tab contents 1</b-card-text></b-tab>
<b-tab title="Tab 2"><b-card-text>Tab contents 2</b-card-text></b-tab>
</b-tabs>
</b-card>
</div>
<!-- b-tabs-bottom.vue -->
```
**Caveats:**
- Bottom placement visually works best with the `pills` variant. When using the default `tabs`
variant, you may want to provided your own custom styling classes, as Bootstrap v4 CSS assumes the
tabs will always be placed on the top of the tabs content.
- To provide a better user experience with bottom placed controls, ensure that the content of each
tab pane is the same height and fits completely within the visible viewport, otherwise the user
will need to scroll up to read the start of the tabbed content.
## Vertical tabs
Have the tab controls placed on the lefthand side by setting the `vertical` prop to `true`. Vertical
tabs work with or without `card` mode enabled.
```html
<div>
<b-card no-body>
<b-tabs pills card vertical>
<b-tab title="Tab 1" active><b-card-text>Tab contents 1</b-card-text></b-tab>
<b-tab title="Tab 2"><b-card-text>Tab contents 2</b-card-text></b-tab>
<b-tab title="Tab 3"><b-card-text>Tab contents 3</b-card-text></b-tab>
</b-tabs>
</b-card>
</div>
<!-- b-tabs-vertical.vue -->
```
Visually move the tab controls to the right hand side by setting the `end` prop:
```html
<div>
<b-card no-body>
<b-tabs pills card vertical end>
<b-tab title="Tab 1" active><b-card-text>Tab contents 1</b-card-text></b-tab>
<b-tab title="Tab 2"><b-card-text>Tab contents 2</b-card-text></b-tab>
<b-tab title="Tab 3"><b-card-text>Tab contents 3</b-card-text></b-tab>
</b-tabs>
</b-card>
</div>
<!-- b-tabs-vertical-end.vue -->
```
The width of the vertical tab controls will expand to fit the width of the tab title. To control the
width, set a [width utility class](/docs/reference/size-props#sizing-utility-classes) via the prop
`nav-wrapper-class`. You can use values such as `w-25` (25% width), `w-50` (50% width), etc., or
column classes such as `col-2`, `col-3`, etc.
```html
<div>
<b-card no-body>
<b-tabs pills card vertical nav-wrapper-class="w-50">
<b-tab title="Tab 1" active><b-card-text>Tab contents 1</b-card-text></b-tab>
<b-tab title="Tab 2"><b-card-text>Tab contents 2</b-card-text></b-tab>
<b-tab title="Tab 3"><b-card-text>Tab contents 3</b-card-text></b-tab>
</b-tabs>
</b-card>
</div>
<!-- b-tabs-vertical-width.vue -->
```
Vertical placement visually works best with the `pills` variant. When using the default `tabs`
variant, you may want to provided your own custom styling classes, as Bootstrap v4 CSS assumes the
tab controls will always be placed on the top of the tabs content.
**Note:** _overflowing text may occur if your width is narrower than the tab title. You may need
additional custom styling._
## Active classes
To apply classes to the currently active control or tab use the `active-nav-item-class` and
`active-tab-class` props.
```html
<div>
<b-tabs
active-nav-item-class="font-weight-bold text-uppercase text-danger"
active-tab-class="font-weight-bold text-success"
content-class="mt-3"
>
<b-tab title="First" active><p>I'm the first tab</p></b-tab>
<b-tab title="Second"><p>I'm the second tab</p></b-tab>
<b-tab title="Disabled" disabled><p>I'm a disabled tab!</p></b-tab>
</b-tabs>
</div>
<!-- b-tabs-classes.vue -->
```
## Fade animation
Fade is enabled by default when changing tabs. It can disabled with `no-fade` property.
## Add tabs without content
If you want to add extra tabs that do not have any content, you can put them in `tabs-start` or
`tabs-end` slot(s):
```html
<div>
<b-tabs>
<!-- Add your b-tab components here -->
<template #tabs-end>
<b-nav-item href="#" role="presentation" @click="() => {}">Another tab</b-nav-item>
<li role="presentation" class="nav-item align-self-center">Plain text</li>
</template>
</b-tabs>
</div>
<!-- b-tabs-item-slot.vue -->
```
Use the `tabs-start` slot to place extra tab buttons before the content tab buttons, and use the
`tabs-end` slot to place extra tab buttons after the content tab buttons.
**Note:** extra (contentless) tab buttons should be a `<b-nav-item>` or have a root element of
`<li>` and class `nav-item` for proper rendering and semantic markup.
## Add custom content to tab title
If you want to add custom content to tab title, like HTML code, icons, or another non-interactive
Vue component, this possible by using `title` slot of `<b-tab>`.
```html
<div>
<b-tabs>
<b-tab active>
<template #title>
<b-spinner type="grow" small></b-spinner> I'm <i>custom</i> <strong>title</strong>
</template>
<p class="p-3">Tab contents 1</p>
</b-tab>
<b-tab>
<template #title>
<b-spinner type="border" small></b-spinner> Tab 2
</template>
<p class="p-3">Tab contents 2</p>
</b-tab>
</b-tabs>
</div>
<!-- b-tabs-title-slot.vue -->
```
**Do not** place interactive elements/components inside the title slot. The tab button is a link
which does not support child interactive elements per the HTML5 spec.
## Apply custom classes to the generated nav-tabs or pills
The tab selectors are based on Bootstrap v4's `nav` markup ( i.e.
`ul.nav > li.nav-item > a.nav-link`). In some situations, you may want to add classes to the `<li>`
(nav-item) and/or the `<a>` (nav-link) on a per tab basis. To do so, simply supply the classname to
the `title-item-class` prop (for the `<li>` element) or `title-link-class` prop (for the `<a>`
element). Value's can be passed as a string or array of strings.
**Note:** _The `active` class is automatically applied to the active tabs `<a>` element. You may
need to accommodate your custom classes for this._
```html
<template>
<div>
<b-card no-body>
<b-tabs v-model="tabIndex" card>
<b-tab title="Tab 1" :title-link-class="linkClass(0)">Tab contents 1</b-tab>
<b-tab title="Tab 2" :title-link-class="linkClass(1)">Tab contents 2</b-tab>
<b-tab title="Tab 3" :title-link-class="linkClass(2)">Tab contents 3</b-tab>
</b-tabs>
</b-card>
</div>
</template>
<script>
export default {
data() {
return {
tabIndex: 0
}
},
methods: {
linkClass(idx) {
if (this.tabIndex === idx) {
return ['bg-primary', 'text-light']
} else {
return ['bg-light', 'text-info']
}
}
}
}
</script>
<!-- b-tabs-with-classes.vue -->
```
## Lazy loading tab content
Sometimes it's preferred to load components & data only when activating a tab, instead of loading
all tabs (and associated data) when rendering the `<b-tabs>` set.
Individual `<b-tab>` components can be lazy loaded via the `lazy` prop, which when set doesn't mount
the content of the `<b-tab>` until it is activated (shown), and will be un-mounted when the tab is
deactivated (hidden):
```html
<b-tabs content-class="mt-3">
<!-- This tabs content will always be mounted -->
<b-tab title="Regular tab"><b-alert show>I'm always mounted</b-alert></b-tab>
<!-- This tabs content will not be mounted until the tab is shown -->
<!-- and will be un-mounted when hidden -->
<b-tab title="Lazy tab" lazy><b-alert show>I'm lazy mounted!</b-alert></b-tab>
</b-tabs>
<!-- b-tabs-lazy-tab.vue -->
```
One can also make all tab's lazy by setting the `lazy` prop on the parent `<b-tabs>` component:
```html
<b-tabs content-class="mt-3" lazy>
<b-tab title="Tab 1"><b-alert show>I'm lazy mounted!</b-alert></b-tab>
<b-tab title="Tab 2"><b-alert show>I'm lazy mounted too!</b-alert></b-tab>
</b-tabs>
<!-- b-tabs-lazy.vue -->
```
## Keyboard navigation
Keyboard navigation is enabled by default for ARIA compliance with tablists when a tab button has
focus.
| Keypress | Action |
| --------------------------------------------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------- |
| <kbd>Left</kbd> or <kbd>Up</kbd> | Activate the previous non-disabled tab |
| <kbd>Right</kbd> or <kbd>Down</kbd> | Activate the next non-disabled tab |
| <kbd>Shift</kbd>+<kbd>Left</kbd> or <kbd>Shift</kbd>+<kbd>Up</kbd> | Activate the first non-disabled tab |
| <kbd>Home</kbd> | Activate the first non-disabled tab |
| <kbd>Shift</kbd>+<kbd>Right</kbd> or <kbd>Shift</kbd>+<kbd>Down</kbd> | Activate the last non-disabled tab |
| <kbd>End</kbd> | Activate the last non-disabled tab |
| <kbd>Tab</kbd> | Move focus to the active tab content |
| <kbd>Shift</kbd>+<kbd>Tab</kbd> | Move focus to the previous control on the page |
Disable keyboard navigation by setting the prop `no-key-nav`. Behavior will now default to regular
browser navigation with TAB key.
| Keypress | Action |
| ------------------------------------ | ------------------------------------------------------ |
| <kbd>Tab</kbd> | Move to the next tab button or control on the page |
| <kbd>Shift</kbd>+<kbd>Tab</kbd> | Move to the previous tab button or control on the page |
| <kbd>Enter</kbd> or <kbd>Space</kbd> | Activate current focused button's tab |
## Programmatically activating and deactivating tabs
Use the `<b-tabs>` `v-model` to control which tab is active by setting the `v-model` to the index
(zero-based) of the tab to be shown (see example below).
Alternatively, you can use the `active` prop on each `<b-tab>` with the `.sync` modifier to activate
the tab, or to detect if a particular tab is active.
Each `<b-tab>` instance also provides two public methods to activate or deactivate the tab. The
methods are `.activate()` and `.deactivate()`, respectively. If activation or deactivation fails
(i.e. a tab is disabled or no tab is available to move activation to), then the currently active tab
will remain active and the method will return `false`. You will need a reference to the `<b-tab>` in
order to use these methods.
## Preventing a `<b-tab>` from being activated
To prevent a tab from activating, simply set the `disabled` prop on the `<b-tab>` component.
Alternatively, you can listen for the `activate-tab` event, which provides an option to prevent the
tab from activating. The `activate-tab` event is emitted with three arguments:
- `newTabIndex`: The index of the tab that is going to be activated
- `prevTabIndex`: The index of the currently active tab
- `bvEvent`: The `BvEvent` object. Call `bvEvent.preventDefault()` to prevent `newTabIndex` from
being activated
For accessibility reasons, when using the `activate-tab` event to prevent a tab from activating, you
should provide some means of notification to the user as to why the tab is not able to be activated.
It is recommended to use the `disabled` attribute on the `<b-tab>` component instead of using the
`activate-tab` event (as `disabled` is more intuitive for screen reader users).
