Overview

Tab component that is designed to patch or navigate within or between LiveViews.

This tabs component assumes that:

Changing tabs performs navigation.
The URL, rather than a component assign, is the source of truth for the selected tab.

This is the right behavior for most tab interfaces. Tab state usually needs to survive a refresh or deploy, which simple assigns that conditionally change the displayed content do not support.

If you need assign-backed tab state instead, you can extend this component with that option.

Overview Activity Settings

This is a page

HEEx

<Tabs.tabs id="example-tabs" label="Project information" selected={Atom.to_string(@selected_tab)}>
  <:tab
    value="overview"
    label="Overview"
    patch={@tab_path <> "?tab=overview"}
  >
    This is a page
  </:tab>
  <:tab
    value="activity"
    label="Activity"
    patch={@tab_path <> "?tab=activity"}
  >
    This is a different page
  </:tab>
  <:tab
    value="settings"
    label="Settings"
    patch={@tab_path <> "?tab=settings"}
  >
    This is a third page!
  </:tab>
</Tabs.tabs>

JavaScript hook

.DizzyTabs

The colocated hook handles arrow keys, Home, and End, including right-to-left navigation. It activates patch links from the keyboard. LiveView handles navigation and the selected assign controls the active panel.

mix dizzy.add includes the hook and performs any required asset setup automatically.
