ptcs-tab-set¶

Visual¶

Overview¶

The <ptcs-tab-set> is a layout component that contains a set of tabs. Each tab can display a different set of items. Only one tab can be selected at a time. The selected tab is indicated with a selection bar that is typically a line under the tab. The tab name width will auto-size to accommodate the name length, but can optionally be assigned a maximum width; a tab name that exceeds the maximum width is truncated with horizontal ellipsis suffix to indicate the overflow.

The layout mode is horizontal, where the tabs are laid out along a line. On overflow a dropdown menu button appears, for tabs that are not being shown.

The component builds on vaadin-tabs so inherits a vertical layout option, but this is not a supported layout.

Usage Examples¶

Basic Usage¶

function func()
  {
    const bind = document.getElementById('tabSet');

    bind.tabs = [
      { name: "Tab One Title"},
      { name: "Another Tab"}
    ];
  }

<ptcs-tab-set selected="0" id="tabSet" items="{{tabs}}">
<div>something in the first tab</div>
</ptcs-tab-set>

Creates a two-column tab set with a div element that is shown when the first tab is selected.

Vertical layout¶

<ptcs-tab-set selected="0" orientation="vertical" id="tabSet" items="{{tabs}}">
</ptcs-tab-set>
Creates a two-column vertical tab set with a div element that is shown when the first tab is selected, without overflow or

NOTE: * The PTC Design System does not provide support for vertical tabs. The orientation is only an attribute and not a property. * Each DOM inside the tab set becomes the pages body of its index corresponding column.
