Install

npm

$ npm i tabsjs-lib

const Tabby = require('tabsjs-lib');
Tabby.init();

script

Install tabby is quite simple. Create simple markup and include the script. Then you are ready to go!

Markup

Tabby works with data attributes, so we need to use three different data attributes here.

attribute	description
data-tabby	the container wraps your tabs
data-tabby-bar	bar that needs a value which links to the content
data-tabby-content	content part that needs a value which links to the bar

Here is a straightforward markup

_{The bar and content elements needs to be siblings}

<div data-tabby>

    <div class="bars">
        <div data-tabby-bar="1">Bar one</div>
        <div data-tabby-bar="2">Another bar</div>
    </div>

    <div class="content">
        <div data-tabby-content="1">Content one</div>
        <div data-tabby-content="2">Content two</div>
    </div>

</div>

<script src="<path_to_file>/tabby.iife.js"></script>
<script>
    Tabby.init();
</script>

Tabby

Tabby.init function

This method will initialize the tab components in the dom and will create an instance of the tabby class for each [data-tabby] element. It will return the objects in an array.

Tabby.Tabby class

Our base class, Tabby. Here you can create the instance by yourself.

Tabby.version string

Return the currenty used version number

Methods

When you have created a few instances, you can use some methods on them.

  // myTaby is an array which contains the objects
  const myTabs = Tabby.init();

  // lets just pick the first one
  const myFirstTab = myTabs[0];

  // now we can use the methods on them

Methods next()

Switches to the next element.

myFirstTab.next();

Methods previous()

Switches to the previous element.

myFirstTab.previous();
