Interactive Navigation for Organized Tabs

Accessible, keyboard-navigable tabs - built with TypeScript, Tailwind CSS and Base UI. Horizontal or vertical layout adaptability is possible. Great for dashboards, settings pages, multi-section forms, and just about any interface that requires obvious separation of content while not overwhelming the user.

What are Shadcn Tabs?

Shadcn Tabs enables you to organize related content in separate panels, which are switchable by users. The default component comes with tab headers and content panels, all with flexible orientations (horizontal or vertical). With Tailwind CSS, you can style active states, spacing, and alignment. TypeScript provides full type safety and predictable state management.

Why Use Shadcn Tabs?

  • Reduced Cognitive Load: Users focus on one panel at a time without feeling overwhelmed.

  • Responsive & Mobile Friendly: Our tabs fit all screens and also have tabbable areas for scrolling.
  • Dynamic & Interactive: Programmatic creation, removal, and renaming of tabs.

  • Vertical Tabs: Efficient settings or filters sidebar navigation.
  • Icon Tabs: Mashup icons with labels to scan quickly visually.
  • Dynamic Tabs: Include or exclude tabs in response to user input or data.

Key Features

  • Keyboard Navigation: Arrow keys, Home/End to move backward and forward, Enter or Space to slide.
  • Active tab styling: Set colours, borders and background to active/inactive state.
  • Display content: Text, forms, media or interactive elements.
  • Overflow Handling: Scrollable tabs for mobile or content-heavy interfaces.
  • State Management: Controlled and uncontrolled modes for any React workflow.

Tips for Using Tabs

  • Tabs labels should be short for readability, especially in mobile.
  • There seems to be no real answer other than storing the form state inside tab panels, if you want to avoid loss of user input.
  • Make the tabs scrollable or dropdowns on smaller screens if there is overflow content.
  • Test real content on your layout, both vertical and horizontal to continue this consistency.
