Installation

$ npm install react-dyn-tabs --save

or

$ yarn add react-dyn-tabs

Basic Example

import React, {useEffect} from 'react';
import useDynTabs from 'react-dyn-tabs';
import 'react-dyn-tabs/style/react-dyn-tabs.css';
import 'react-dyn-tabs/themes/react-dyn-tabs-card.css';
import ContactComponent from './contact-component';

export default () => {
  const options = {
    tabs: [
      {
        id: '1',
        title: 'home',
        closable: false,
        panelComponent: (porps) => <p> home content </p>,
      },
      {
        id: '2',
        title: 'contact',
        panelComponent: ContactComponent, // or can be <ContactComponent />
      },
    ],
    selectedTabID: '1',
    onLoad: function () {},
  };
  const [TabList, PanelList, ready] = useDynTabs(options);
  useEffect(() => {
    ready((instance) => {
      // open more tabs
      instance.open({id: '3', title: 'Tab 3', panelComponent: (porps) => <p> Tab 3 content </p>});
      instance.open({id: '4', title: 'Tab 4', panelComponent: (porps) => <p> Tab 4 content </p>});
      // switch to new tab
      instance.select('4');
    });
  }, []);
  return (
    <div>
      <TabList></TabList>
      <PanelList></PanelList>
    </div>
  );
};

ready function

• ready function is returned by useDynTabs hook.

• ready function accepts a function as a parameter and calls it with instance object after the first render, when the component is mounted.

• Tabs can't be manipulated safely before the first render, use ready() to make a function available after the component is mounted.

• ready function can be called multiple times

• ready function and instance Object will not be changed after re-rendering multiple times.

• When ready function is called after the first render, it calls its function parameter with instance object immediately.

Methods

isOpen

Return value : boolean

Parameters:

const result = instance.isOpen('tab ID');

open

Triggers 'onInit', 'onChange' and 'onOpen' event. opening an already opened tab only triggers 'onInit' event.

Return value : Promise

Parameters:

• tabData: Object

Example

if (instance.isOpen('contact') == false) {
  instance
    .open({
      id: 'contact',
      title: 'contact',
      tooltip: 'contact',
      disable: false,
      closable: true,
      iconClass: '',
      panelComponent: <ContactPanel></ContactPanel>,

      console.log('contact tab is open');
    });
}

isSelected

Return value : boolean

Parameters:

• id: String

Example

const result = instance.isSelected('tab ID');

select

Makes current and previous selected tab to be re-rendered

Triggers 'onInit', 'onChange' and 'onSelect' event.

Selecting an already selected tab only triggers 'onInit' event.

Return value : Promise

Parameters:

• id: string

Example

if (instance.isSelected('1') == false) {
  instance.select('1').then(({currentData, instance}) => {
    console.log('tab 1 is selected');
  });
}

close

Triggers 'onInit', 'onChange' and 'onClose' event.

Closing an already closed tab only triggers 'onInit' event.

It switches to the previously selected tab before closing if switching parameter was true and tab was already opened and selected.

When the user clicks on the default close icon, close function is called with true value as a switching parameter.

Return value : Promise

Parameters:

• id: string
• switching: boolean (default : true)

Example

if (instance.isOpen('2') == true) {
  instance.close('2').then(({currentData, instance}) => {
    console.log('tab 2 is closed');
  });
}

Makes all tabs to be re-rendered.

triggers onInit event.

Return value : Promise

Example

instance.refresh().then(({currentData, instance}) => {
  //do sth here
});

getOption

Parameters:

• optionName : String

Example

const direction = instance.getOption('direction');
const onSelect = instance.getOption('onSelect');

setOption

You can use this method for setting all options except selectedTabID and tabs options.

For re-rendering immediately after this function, you should call refresh method after it.

Return value : instance object

Parameters:

• optionName : String
• optionValue : string|boolean|object|function

Example

instance.setOption('direction', 'rtl');
instance.setOption('onSelect', () => {});
instance.setOption('beforeSelect', () => false);

console.log(tabData.id); // 3

setTab

set tabData by id. for re-rendering immediately after this function, you should call refresh method after it.

Parameters:

• tab id : String
• source object : containing the properties you want to apply

Example

instance.setTab('home', {disable: true});
instance.setTab('contact', {closable: false, panelComponent: (props) => <p>contact panel</p>});

on

Attach an event handler function for one event.

Return value : instance

Parameters:

• event Name : String (can be either of onSelect|onClose|onOpen|onInit|onChange|onDestroy)
• handler : function

  this.off('onSelect', onSelectHandler);
};
instance.on('onSelect', onSelectHandler);

getData

get a copy of data

Return value : Object

Example

const {selectedTabID, openTabIDs} = instance.getData();

NOTE :

• getCopyData function is an older version of getData function and it is enabled by default so that existing users do not have to change their code. You are free to use both conventions.

getPreviousData

get a copy of data in previous render

Return value : Object

Example

const {selectedTabID, openTabIDs} = instance.getPreviousData();

NOTE :

• getCopyPerviousData function is an older version of getPreviousData function and it is enabled by default so that existing users do not have to change their code. You are free to use both conventions.

tabData

property name	type	default value	required
id	string		false
title	string	' '	false
tooltip	string	' '	false
panelComponent	can be either of React Element or React Component		false
closable	boolean	true	false
iconClass	string	' '	false
disable	boolean	false	false

Example

const tabData = {
  id: 'contactID',
  title: 'contactTitle',
  tooltip: 'contactTooltip',
  disable: true,
  iconClass: 'fa fa-home',
  closable: false,
  panelComponent: (porps) => <p> contact content </p>,
};
const [TabList, PanelList, ready] = useDynTabs({tabs: [tabData]});
// or
if (instance.isOpen(tabData.id) == false) {
  instance.open(tabData).then(() => {});
}

Lazy Loading

Styling

react-dyn-tabs does not include any style loading by default. Default stylesheets and themes are provided and can be included in your application if desired.

import 'react-dyn-tabs/style/react-dyn-tabs.min.css';
// or import 'react-dyn-tabs/style/scss/react-dyn-tabs.scss';
import 'react-dyn-tabs/themes/react-dyn-tabs-card.min.css';
// or import 'react-dyn-tabs/themes/scss/react-dyn-tabs-card.scss';

NOTE :

You can find other themes at src/themes folder.

Caveats

• Some actions like open, select, close and refresh cause re-rendering, and using them immediately after calling useDynTabs hook will create an infinite loop and other bugs that most likely you don't want to cause. you should use them inside event listeners or subscriptions.

• Do not use setState inside the onInit callback because it leads to an infinite loop.

Deprecated features

These deprecated features can still be used, but should be used with caution because they are expected to be removed entirely sometime in the future. You should work to remove their use from your code.

• Third element of returned array by useDynTabs hook should not be used as an object, it is no longer recommended and only be kept for backwards compatibility purposes, may be removed in the future. Avoid using it as an object and use the code below instead of it.

const [TabList, PanelList, ready] = useDynTabs(options);
const open_tab_3 = function () {
  ready(function (instance) {
    if (instance.isOpen('3') === false) {
      instance.open({id: '3', title: 'mock tab 3'});
      instance.select('3');
    }
  });
};

• First parameter of onSelect function is an object and has perviousSelectedTabId property which is deprecated. you should use previousSelectedTabId property instead of perviousSelectedTabId property.

• First parameter of onChange function is an object and has perviousData property which is deprecated. you should use previousData property instead of perviousData property.
