Usage

Tabs are a list of triggers and the panels they show. Appearance is set on the root.

Basic usage

A tab list with panels. Set defaultValue to the tab that should open first.

1<div style={{ width: "400px" }}>
2  <Tabs defaultValue="tab1">
3    <Tabs.List>
4      <Tabs.Tab value="tab1">Account</Tabs.Tab>
5      <Tabs.Tab value="tab2">Password</Tabs.Tab>
6      <Tabs.Tab value="tab3">Settings</Tabs.Tab>
7    </Tabs.List>
8    <Tabs.Content value="tab1">Account settings</Tabs.Content>
9    <Tabs.Content value="tab2">Password settings</Tabs.Content>
10    <Tabs.Content value="tab3">Other settings</Tabs.Content>
11  </Tabs>
12</div>

Variants

Three treatments. segmented groups the tabs in a track, standalone gives them an underline, and plain strips the chrome for dense layouts.

1<div style={{ width: "400px" }}>
2  <Tabs defaultValue="tab1">
3    <Tabs.List>
4      <Tabs.Tab value="tab1">Account</Tabs.Tab>

Pass leadingIcon on a trigger to place an icon before its label.

3    <Tabs.List>
4      <Tabs.Tab value="tab1">Home</Tabs.Tab>
5      <Tabs.Tab value="tab2" leadingIcon={<Info />}>
6        Info
7      </Tabs.Tab>

9    <Tabs.Content value="tab1">Home content</Tabs.Content>
10    <Tabs.Content value="tab2">Info content</Tabs.Content>
11  </Tabs>
12</div>

Disabled tab

Set disabled on a trigger to keep a tab visible but unreachable.

1<div style={{ width: "400px" }}>
2  <Tabs defaultValue="tab1">
3    <Tabs.List>
4      <Tabs.Tab value="tab1">Active</Tabs.Tab>
5      <Tabs.Tab value="tab2" disabled>
6        Disabled
7      </Tabs.Tab>
8    </Tabs.List>
9    <Tabs.Content value="tab1">Active tab content</Tabs.Content>
10    <Tabs.Content value="tab2">Disabled tab content</Tabs.Content>
11  </Tabs>
12</div>

Controlled

Pass value with onValueChange to own the active tab — needed when something outside the tab list has to switch panels, or when the tab is part of the URL.

1(function ControlledTabs() {
2  const [tab, setTab] = React.useState("overview");
3

4  return (
5    <Flex direction="column" gap={5} style={{ width: "100%" }}>
6      <Tabs value={tab} onValueChange={setTab}>
7        <Tabs.List>
8          <Tabs.Trigger value="overview">Overview</Tabs.Trigger>
9          <Tabs.Trigger value="usage">Usage</Tabs.Trigger>
10        </Tabs.List>
11        <Tabs.Content value="overview">Overview panel</Tabs.Content>
12        <Tabs.Content value="usage">Usage panel</Tabs.Content>
13      </Tabs>
14      <Button size="small" onClick={() => setTab("usage")}>

Accessibility

  • Follows the WAI-ARIA Tabs pattern
  • Supports keyboard navigation with arrow keys between tabs
  • Uses role="tablist", role="tab", and role="tabpanel"
  • Active tab is indicated with aria-selected
  • Leading icon is wrapped with aria-hidden so it is not announced (treated as decorative)
  • Respects motion preferences: tab indicator motion is enabled only when prefers-reduced-motion: no-preference
