Tabs

v1.2.1

Switch between views of the same thing. Underline tabs navigate; a segmented switcher filters in place.

Quick usage

Import the shared component; never copy its markup into a feature. The Web TSX tab beside the live stage has a complete, working example.

import UnderlineTabs from '@/shared/components/Tabs';

Live stage and code

The live component and its controls on the left, the code on the right; change a control and the code follows: Web TSX (the component in a working example), Tailwind and HTML (the markup it renders, with its data attributes), React Native, SwiftUI and Jetpack Compose. The header theme switch drives every stage.

Props

Read from the component's source when the docs build: names and defaults from its signature, types and descriptions from its JSDoc. A blank type means the prop has no JSDoc yet.

DOM contract

What the rendered element carries: the data attributes its styles key on, its roles and ARIA, its focus style, and whether its stylesheet draws the 44px hit boundary. Also read from the source.

Data attributesNone set by the component
Rolesrole="tab"role="tablist"
ARIAaria-labelaria-selected
FocusStyles :focus-visible in its own stylesheet
44px hit boundaryYes: a ::after in UnderlineTabs.module.css

Accessibility and touch

Each tab is a 32 or 36px target.

Tabs

Visible height 28px. The ::after boundary adds 8px above and below, so a gloved finger lands on a 44px target while the row keeps its density.

Rules and constraints

Use it for

  • Page sections (underline), view ranges such as Day / Week (segmented).

Avoid

  • Never a segmented switcher for navigation, never underline tabs for a filter.

Constraints

  • Underline: flush, the active tab marked by a 2px inset terracotta line.
