Tab

Tabs organize and allow navigation between groups of content that are related and at the same level of hierarchy. Each Tab governs the visibility of one group of content.

Design & API Documentation

Installation

npm install @loipham/material-tab

Basic Usage

HTML Structure

<button class="mdc-tab" role="tab" aria-selected="false" tabindex="-1">
  <span class="mdc-tab__content">
    <span class="mdc-tab__icon material-icons" aria-hidden="true">favorite</span>
    <span class="mdc-tab__text-label">Favorites</span>
  </span>
  <span class="mdc-tab-indicator">
    <span class="mdc-tab-indicator__content mdc-tab-indicator__content--underline"></span>
  </span>
  <span class="mdc-tab__ripple"></span>
  <div class="mdc-tab__focus-ring"></div>
</button>

The mdc-tab__focus-ring element ensures that a focus indicator is displayed in high contrast mode around the active/focused tab.

Styles

@use "@loipham/material-tab/mdc-tab";

JavaScript Instantiation

import {MDCTab} from '@loipham/material-tab';

const tab = new MDCTab(document.querySelector('.mdc-tab'));

See Importing the JS component for more information on how to import JavaScript.

Variants

Active Tab

NOTE: Don't forget to add the mdc-tab-indicator--active class to the mdc-tab-indicator subcomponent.

<button class="mdc-tab mdc-tab--active" role="tab" aria-selected="true">
  <span class="mdc-tab__content">
    <span class="mdc-tab__icon material-icons" aria-hidden="true">favorite</span>
    <span class="mdc-tab__text-label">Favorites</span>
  </span>
  <span class="mdc-tab-indicator mdc-tab-indicator--active">
    <span class="mdc-tab-indicator__content mdc-tab-indicator__content--underline"></span>
  </span>
  <span class="mdc-tab__ripple"></span>
  <div class="mdc-tab__focus-ring"></div>
</button>

Tab with Indicator Spanning Only Content

In the example under Basic Usage, the Tab Indicator will span the entire tab. Alternatively, the tab indicator can be set up to span only the content of the tab if it is instead placed within the mdc-tab__content element:

<button class="mdc-tab" role="tab" aria-selected="false" tabindex="-1">
  <span class="mdc-tab__content">
    <span class="mdc-tab__icon material-icons" aria-hidden="true">favorite</span>
    <span class="mdc-tab__text-label">Favorites</span>
    <span class="mdc-tab-indicator">
      <span class="mdc-tab-indicator__content mdc-tab-indicator__content--underline"></span>
    </span>
  </span>
  <span class="mdc-tab__ripple"></span>
  <div class="mdc-tab__focus-ring"></div>
</button>

Tab Icons

We recommend using Material Icons from Google Fonts:

<head>
  <link rel="stylesheet" href="https://fonts.googleapis.com/icon?family=Material+Icons">
</head>

However, you can also use SVG, Font Awesome, or any other icon library you wish.

Usage within Web Frameworks

If you are using a JavaScript framework, such as React or Angular, you can create a Tab for your framework. Depending on your needs, you can use the Simple Approach: Wrapping MDC Web Vanilla Components, or the Advanced Approach: Using Foundations and Adapters. Please follow the instructions here.

MDCTabAdapter

Method Signature Description
addClass(className: string) => void Adds a class to the root element.
removeClass(className: string) => void Removes a class from the root element.
hasClass(className: string) => boolean Returns true if the root element contains the given class.
setAttr(attr: string, value: string) => void Sets the given attribute on the root element to the given value.
activateIndicator(previousIndicatorClientRect?: ClientRect) => void Activates the tab indicator subcomponent. previousIndicatorClientRect is an optional argument.
deactivateIndicator() => void Deactivates the tab indicator subcomponent.
getOffsetLeft() => number Returns the offsetLeft value of the root element.
getOffsetWidth() => number Returns the offsetWidth value of the root element.
getContentOffsetLeft() => number Returns the offsetLeft value of the content element.
getContentOffsetWidth() => number Returns the offsetWidth value of the content element.
notifyInteracted() => void Emits the MDCTab:interacted event.
focus() => void Applies focus to the root element.

MDCTabFoundation

Method Signature Description
handleClick() => void Handles the logic for the "click" event.
isActive() => boolean Returns whether the tab is active.
setFocusOnActivate(focusOnActivate: boolean) => void Sets whether the tab should focus itself when activated.
activate(previousIndicatorClientRect?: ClientRect) => void Activates the tab. previousIndicatorClientRect is an optional argument.
deactivate() => void Deactivates the tab.
computeDimensions() => MDCTabDimensions Returns the dimensions of the tab.

MDCTabFoundation Event Handlers

When wrapping the Tab component, it is necessary to register the following event handler. For an example of this, see the MDCTab component's initialSyncWithDOM method.

Event Element Foundation Handler
