Tabs
The <Tabs> component is a container component that allows users to switch between content views through tabs. Each tab page corresponds to a content view.
NOTE
This component is supported since API version 7. Updates will be marked with a superscript to indicate their earliest API version.
Child Components
Only the <TabContent> child component is supported.
NOTE
If the child component has the visibility attribute set to None or Hidden, it is hidden but takes up space in the layout.
APIs
Tabs(value?: {barPosition?: BarPosition, index?: number, controller?: TabsController})
Parameters
Name | Type | Mandatory | Description |
---|---|---|---|
barPosition | BarPosition | No | Position of the <Tabs> component. Default value: BarPosition.Start |
index | number | No | Index of the currently displayed tab. Default value: 0 NOTE A value less than 0 evaluates to the default value. The value ranges from 0 to the number of <TabContent> subnodes minus 1. When this parameter is set to different values, the slide animation for tab switching is enabled by default. To disable the animation, set animationDuration to 0. Since API version 10, this parameter supports $$ for two-way binding of variables. |
controller | TabsController | No | Tab controller. |
BarPosition
Name | Description |
---|---|
Start | If the vertical attribute is set to true, the tab is on the left of the container. If the vertical attribute is set to false, the tab is on the top of the container. |
End | If the vertical attribute is set to true, the tab is on the right of the container. If the vertical attribute is set to false, the tab is at the bottom of the container. |
Attributes
In addition to the universal attributes, the following attributes are supported.
Name | Type | Description |
---|---|---|
vertical | boolean | Whether to use vertical tabs. The value true means to use vertical tabs, and false means to use horizontal tabs. Default value: false |
scrollable | boolean | Whether the tabs are scrollable. The value true means that the tabs are scrollable, and false means the opposite. Default value: true |
barMode | BarMode,ScrollableBarModeOptions | Tab bar layout mode. BarMode is mandatory, and ScrollableBarModeOptions is optional. For details, see BarMode and ScrollableBarModeOptions. Since API version 10, the optional ScrollableBarModeOptions parameter is supported. It is effective only when the tab bar is in scrollable mode. Default value: BarMode.Fixed |
barWidth | number | Length8+ | Width of the tab bar. The default value varies. If the tab bar has the vertical attribute set to false and does not have SubTabBarStyle or BottomTabBarStyle specified, the default value is the width of the <Tabs> component. If the tab bar has the vertical attribute set to true and does not have SubTabBarStyle or BottomTabBarStyle specified, the default value is 56vp. If the tab bar has the vertical attribute set to false and SubTabbarStyle specified, the default value is the width of the <Tabs> component.

If the tab bar has the vertical attribute set to true and BottomTabbarStyle specified, the default value is 96vp. If the tab bar has the vertical attribute set to false and BottomTabbarStyle specified, the default value is the width of the <Tabs> component. NOTE A value less than 0 or greater than the width of the <Tabs> component evaluates to the default value. |
barHeight | number | Length8+ | Height of the tab bar. The default value varies. If the tab bar has the vertical attribute set to false and does not have a style specified, the default value is 56vp. If the tab bar has the vertical attribute set to true and does not have a style specified, the default value is the height of the <Tabs> component. If the tab bar has the vertical attribute set to false and SubTabbarStyle specified, the default value is 56vp. If the tab bar has the vertical attribute set to true and SubTabbarStyle specified, the default value is the height of the <Tabs> component. If the tab bar has the vertical attribute set to true and BottomTabbarStyle specified, the default value is the height of the <Tabs> component. If the tab bar has the vertical attribute set to false and BottomTabbarStyle specified, the default value is 56vp. NOTE A value less than 0 or greater than the height of the <Tabs> component evaluates to the default value. |
animationDuration | number | Length of time required to complete the tab switching animation that is initiated by clicking a specific tab. If this parameter is not set, no tab switching animation is displayed when a specific tab is clicked. Default value: 300 NOTE This parameter cannot be set in percentage. A value less than 0 evaluates to the default value 300. |
divider10+ | DividerStyle | null | Whether the divider is displayed for the <TabBar> and <TabContent> components and the divider style. By default, the divider is not displayed. DividerStyle: divider style. null: The divider is not displayed. |
fadingEdge10+ | boolean | Whether the tab fades out when it exceeds the container width. Default value: true NOTE It is recommended that this attribute be used together with the barBackgroundColor attribute. If the barBackgroundColor attribute is not defined, the tab fades out in white when it exceeds the container width by default. |
barOverlap10+ | boolean | Whether the tab bar is superimposed on the <TabContent> component after having its background blurred. Default value: false |
barBackgroundColor10+ | ResourceColor | Background color of the tab bar. Default value: transparent |
barGridAlign10+ | BarGridColumnOptions | Visible area of the tab bar in grid mode. For details, see BarGridColumnOptions. This attribute is effective only in horizontal mode. It is not applicable to XS, XL, and XXL devices. |

BarMode
Name | Description |
---|---|
Scrollable | The width of each tab is determined by the actual layout. The tabs are scrollable in the following case: In horizontal layout, the total width exceeds the tab bar width; in horizontal layout, the total height exceeds the tab bar height. |
Fixed | The width of each tab is determined by equally dividing the number of tabs by the bar width (or bar height in the vertical layout). |
LayoutStyle10+
Name | Description |
---|---|
ALWAYS_CENTER | When the tab content exceeds the tab bar width, the tabs are scrollable. Otherwise, the tabs are compactly centered and not scrollable. |
ALWAYS_AVERAGE_SPLITE | When the tab content exceeds the tab bar width, the tabs are scrollable. Otherwise, the tabs are not scrollable, and the tab bar width is distributed evenly between all tabs. This option is valid only in horizontal mode, and is equivalent to LayoutStyle.ALWAYS_CENTER otherwise. |
SPACE_BETWEEN_OR_CENTER | When the tab content exceeds the tab bar width, the tabs are scrollable. When the tab content exceeds half of the tab bar width but still within the tab bar width, the tabs are compactly centered and not scrollable. When the tab content does not exceed half of the tab bar width, the tabs are centered within half of the tab bar width, with even spacing between, and not scrollable. |
Events
In addition to the universal events, the following events are supported.
Name | Description |
---|---|
onChange(event: (index: number) => void) | Triggered when a tab is switched. - index: index of the active tab. The index starts from 0. This event is triggered when any of the following conditions is met: 1. The <TabContent> component supports sliding, and the user slides on the tab bar. 2. The Controller API is called. 3. The attribute value is updated using a state variable. 4. A tab is clicked. |
onTabBarClick(event: (index: number) => void)10+ | Triggered when a tab is clicked. - index: index of the clicked tab. The index starts from 0. |
TabsController
Defines a tab controller, which is used to control switching of tabs. One TabsController cannot control multiple <Tabs> components.
Objects to Import
let controller: TabsController = new TabsController()
changeIndex
changeIndex(value: number): void
Switches to the specified tab.
Parameters
Name | Type | Mandatory | Description |
---|---|---|---|
value | number | Yes | Index of the tab. The value starts from 0. NOTE If this parameter is set to a value less than 0 or greater than the maximum number, the default value 0 is used. |
