Create a tabbed navigation with different styles.

Usage

The Tab component consists of clickable tabs, that are aligned side by side.

The data-uk-tab attribute is required for two purposes. Firstly, it enables the responsive behaviour. If the parent container is too small to accomodate all tabs, they will be combined into a dropdown, toggled by a single tab, which represents the active tab item. This also requires the Dropdown component in order to work.

And secondly, its functionality is coupled to the Switcher component, which is necessary to dynamically transition through different contents using tabbed navigation.

Example

• Active
• Item
• Item
• Disabled
• Active
   

Markup

<ul class="uk-tab" data-uk-tab>
    <li class="uk-active"><a href="">...</a></li>
    <li><a href="">...</a></li>
    <li><a href="">...</a></li>
    <li class="uk-disabled"><a href="">...</a></li>
</ul>

Horizontal modifiers

Add one of the following classes to alter your tabs' styling. These modifiers can also be combined.

Align tabs

Example

Markup

<ul class="uk-tab uk-tab-flip" data-uk-tab>...</ul>
<ul class="uk-tab uk-tab-bottom" data-uk-tab>...</ul>

Justify tabs

Add the .uk-tab-grid class and one of the .uk-width-* classes from the Grid component to the list items to arrange tabs in a grid that takes up full width of its parent element.

Example

Markup

<ul class="uk-tab uk-tab-grid uk-tab-bottom" data-uk-tab>
    <li class="uk-width-1-3"><a href="">...</a></li>
</ul>

Center tabs

Add the .uk-tab-center class to a <div> element around the tabbed navigation to center tabs.

Example

Markup

<div class="uk-tab-center">
    <ul class="uk-tab" data-uk-tab>...</ul>
</div>

Vertical modifiers

Add the .uk-tab-left or .uk-tab-right class to align tabs vertically to the left or right side.

Example

Markup

<ul class="uk-tab uk-tab-left uk-width-medium-1-2">
    <li>...</li>
</ul>

<ul class="uk-tab uk-tab-right uk-width-medium-1-2">
    <li>...</li>
</ul>

Responsive behavior

In narrower viewports, like phones, vertical tabs align themselves horizontally. Adding the data-uk-tab attribute will apply the same responsive behavior as horizontal tabs.

Tabs with dropdowns

This is an example of how to use tabs with the Dropdown component.

Example

• Active
• Item
• Item
• More
  • Item
  • Another item
  • Header
  • Item
  • Another item
  • Separated item
• Active
   

Markup

<ul class="uk-tab">
    <li><a href="">...</a></li>

    <!-- This is the container enabling the JavaScript -->
    <li data-uk-dropdown="{mode:'click'}">

        <!-- This is the menu item toggling the dropdown -->
        <a href="">...</a>

        <!-- This is the dropdown -->
        <div class="uk-dropdown uk-dropdown-small">
            <ul class="uk-nav uk-nav-dropdown">
                <li><a href="">...</a></li>
            </ul>
        </div>
    </li>
</ul>
