Important - Deprecation Notice

The mdc-tabs package is deprecated and no longer maintained, and is no longer included in the all-in-one material-components-web package. Improved functionality is available across the mdc-tab-bar, mdc-tab-scroller, mdc-tab-indicator, and mdc-tab packages, which are now included in the material-components-web package. Bugs and feature requests will no longer be accepted for this package. It is recommended that you migrate to the new packages to continue to receive new features and updates.

MDC Tabs

The MDC Tabs component contains components which are used to create spec-aligned tabbed navigation components adhering to the Material Design tabs guidelines. These components are:

mdc-tab: The individual tab elements
mdc-tab-bar: The main component which is composed of mdc-tab elements
mdc-tab-bar-scroller: The component which controls the horizontal scrolling behavior of an mdc-tab-bar that overflows its container

Design & API Documentation

Installation

npm install @material/tabs

Tabs usage

mdc-tab-bar can be used as a CSS only component, or a more dynamic JavaScript component.

There are also three different permutations of tab labels. These include text, icon-only, and text with icon. An example of each is available on the demo site.

Icons

We recommend using Material Icons from Google Fonts:

<head>
  <link rel="stylesheet" href="https://fonts.googleapis.com/icon?family=Material+Icons">
</head>

However, you can also use SVG, Font Awesome, or any other icon library you wish.

Tab Bar with text labels

<nav id="basic-tab-bar" class="mdc-tab-bar">
  <a class="mdc-tab mdc-tab--active" href="#one">Home</a>
  <a class="mdc-tab" href="#two">Merchandise</a>
  <a class="mdc-tab" href="#three">About Us</a>
  <span class="mdc-tab-bar__indicator"></span>
</nav>

Tab Bar with icon labels

<nav class="mdc-tab-bar mdc-tab-bar--icon-tab-bar">
  <a class="mdc-tab mdc-tab--active" href="#recents">
    <i class="material-icons mdc-tab__icon" aria-label="Recents">phone</i>
  </a>
  <a class="mdc-tab" href="#favorites">
    <i class="material-icons mdc-tab__icon" aria-label="Favorites">favorite</i>
  </a>
  <a class="mdc-tab" href="#nearby">
    <i class="material-icons mdc-tab__icon" aria-label="nearby">person_pin</i>
  </a>
  <span class="mdc-tab-bar__indicator"></span>
</nav>

Tab Bar with icon and text labels

<nav id="icon-text-tab-bar" class="mdc-tab-bar mdc-tab-bar--icons-with-text">
  <a class="mdc-tab mdc-tab--with-icon-and-text mdc-tab--active" href="#recents">
    <i class="material-icons mdc-tab__icon" aria-hidden="true">phone</i>
    <span class="mdc-tab__icon-text">Recents</span>
  </a>
  <a class="mdc-tab mdc-tab--with-icon-and-text" href="#favorites">
    <i class="material-icons mdc-tab__icon" aria-hidden="true">favorite</i>
    <span class="mdc-tab__icon-text">Favorites</span>
  </a>
  <a class="mdc-tab mdc-tab--with-icon-and-text" href="#nearby">
    <i class="material-icons mdc-tab__icon" aria-hidden="true">person_pin</i>
    <span class="mdc-tab__icon-text">Nearby</span>
  </a>
  <span class="mdc-tab-bar__indicator"></span>
</nav>

CSS Only Support

In order for the indicator to appear, you will need to change your mark up if you are using CSS Only. Each .mdc-tab will have a child element with the class .mdc-tab__indicator as shown below:

<nav id="basic-tab-bar" class="mdc-tab-bar">
  <a class="mdc-tab mdc-tab--active" href="#one">
    Home
    <span class="mdc-tab__indicator"></span>
  </a>
  <a class="mdc-tab" href="#two">
    Merchandise
    <span class="mdc-tab__indicator"></span>
  </a>
  <a class="mdc-tab" href="#three">
    About Us
    <span class="mdc-tab__indicator"></span>
  </a>
</nav>

RTL Support

Tab Bars will reverse the order of their tabs if they are placed within an ancestor element with attribute dir="rtl".

<html dir="rtl">
  <!--...-->
  <nav id="basic-tab-bar" class="mdc-tab-bar">
    <a class="mdc-tab mdc-tab--active" href="#one">Home</a>
    <a class="mdc-tab" href="#two">Merchandise</a>
    <a class="mdc-tab" href="#three">About Us</a>
    <span class="mdc-tab-bar__indicator"></span>
  </nav>
</html>

Dynamic view switching

While facilitating the view switching is left up to the developer, the demo site provides a minimal example of how to do so using JavaScript, also shown below.

Markup:

<section id="dynamic-demo-toolbar">
  <nav id="dynamic-tab-bar" class="mdc-tab-bar" role="tablist">
    <a role="tab" aria-controls="panel-1"
       class="mdc-tab mdc-tab--active" href="#panel-1">Item One</a>
    <a role="tab" aria-controls="panel-2"
       class="mdc-tab" href="#panel-2">Item Two</a>
    <a role="tab" aria-controls="panel-3"
       class="mdc-tab" href="#panel-3">Item Three</a>
    <span class="mdc-tab-bar__indicator"></span>
  </nav>
</section>
<section>
  <div class="panels">
    <p class="panel active" id="panel-1" role="tabpanel" aria-hidden="false">Item One</p>
    <p class="panel" id="panel-2" role="tabpanel" aria-hidden="true">Item Two</p>
    <p class="panel" id="panel-3" role="tabpanel" aria-hidden="true">Item Three</p>
  </div>
  <div class="dots">
    <a class="dot active" data-trigger="panel-1" href="#panel-1"></a>
    <a class="dot" data-trigger="panel-2" href="#panel-2"></a>
    <a class="dot" data-trigger="panel-3" href="#panel-3"></a>
  </div>
</section>

Script:

var dynamicTabBar = window.dynamicTabBar = new mdc.tabs.MDCTabBar(document.querySelector('#dynamic-tab-bar'));
var dots = document.querySelector('.dots');
var panels = document.querySelector('.panels');

dynamicTabBar.tabs.forEach(function(tab) {
  tab.preventDefaultOnClick = true;
});

function updateDot(index) {
  var activeDot = dots.querySelector('.dot.active');
  if (activeDot) {
    activeDot.classList.remove('active');
  }
  var newActiveDot = dots.querySelector('.dot:nth-child(' + (index + 1) + ')');
  if (newActiveDot) {
    newActiveDot.classList.add('active');
  }
}

function updatePanel(index) {
  var activePanel = panels.querySelector('.panel.active');
  if (activePanel) {
    activePanel.classList.remove('active');
  }
  var newActivePanel = panels.querySelector('.panel:nth-child(' + (index + 1) + ')');
  if (newActivePanel) {
    newActivePanel.classList.add('active');
  }
}

dynamicTabBar.listen('MDCTabBar:change', function ({detail: tabs}) {
  var nthChildIndex = tabs.activeTabIndex;

  updatePanel(nthChildIndex);
  updateDot(nthChildIndex);
});

dots.addEventListener('click', function (evt) {
  if (!evt.target.classList.contains('dot')) {
    return;
  }

  evt.preventDefault();

  var dotIndex = [].slice.call(dots.querySelectorAll('.dot')).indexOf(evt.target);

  if (dotIndex >= 0) {
    dynamicTabBar.activeTabIndex = dotIndex;
  }

  updatePanel(dotIndex);
  updateDot(dotIndex);
})

Sass Mixins

To customize the ink color of any part of the tab, use the following mixins. We recommend you apply these mixins within CSS selectors like .foo-tab:not(.mdc-tab--active) to select your inactive tabs, foo-tab:hover to select the hover state of your tabs, and .foo-tab.mdc-tab--active to select your active tabs.

`mdc-tab-ink-color`

Use this mixin to set the color of all ink on the tab.

`mdc-tab-icon-ink-color`

This mixin customizes the icon ink color.

`mdc-tab-label-ink-color`

This mixin customizes the label ink color.

`mdc-tab-bar-indicator-ink-color`

This mixin customizes the indicator ink color.

Using the CSS-Only Component

mdc-tab-bar ships with css for styling a tab layout according to the Material Design spec. To use CSS only tab bars, simply use the available class names. Note the available mdc-tab--active modifier class. This is used to denote the currently active tab.

<nav class="mdc-tab-bar">
  <a class="mdc-tab mdc-tab--active" href="#one">Item One</a>
  <a class="mdc-tab" href="#two">Item Two</a>
  <a class="mdc-tab" href="#three">Three</a>
  <span class="mdc-tab-bar__indicator"></span>
</nav>

Using the JavaScript Component

mdc-tab-bar ships with a Component/Foundation combo for ingesting instances of mdc-tab (a tab). mdc-tab-bar uses its initialize() method call a factory function which gathers and instantiates any tab elements that are children of the mdc-tab-bar root element.

Including in code

ES Modules

import {MDCTab, MDCTabFoundation} from '@material/tabs';
import {MDCTabBar, MDCTabBarFoundation} from '@material/tabs';

CommonJS

const mdcTabs = require('@material/tabs');
const MDCTab = mdcTabs.MDCTab;
const MDCTabFoundation = mdcTabs.MDCTabFoundation;

const MDCTabBar = mdcTabs.MDCTabBar;
const MDCTabBarFoundation = mdcTabs.MDCTabBarFoundation;

AMD

require(['path/to/@material/tabs'], mdcTabs => {
  const MDCTab = mdcTabs.MDCTab;
  const MDCTabFoundation = mdcTabs.MDCTabFoundation;

  const MDCTabBar = mdcTabs.MDCTabBar;
  const MDCTabBarFoundation = mdcTabs.MDCTabBarFoundation;
});

Global

const MDCTab = mdc.tabs.MDCTab;
const MDCTabFoundation = mdc.tabs.MDCTabFoundation;

const MDCTabBar = mdc.tabs.MDCTabBar;
const MDCTabBarFoundation = mdc.tabs.MDCTabBarFoundation;

Automatic Instantiation

If you do not care about retaining the component instance for the tabs, simply call attachTo() and pass it a DOM element.

mdc.tabs.MDCTabBar.attachTo(document.querySelector('#my-mdc-tab-bar'));

Manual Instantiation

Tabs can easily be initialized using their default constructors as well, similar to attachTo. This process involves a factory to create an instance of MDCTab from each tab Element inside of the mdc-tab-bar node during the initialization phase of MDCTabBar, e.g.:

<nav id="my-mdc-tab-bar" class="mdc-tab-bar">
  <a class="mdc-tab mdc-tab--active" href="#one">Item One</a>
  <a class="mdc-tab" href="#two">Item Two</a>
  <a class="mdc-tab" href="#three">Three</a>
  <span class="mdc-tab-bar__indicator"></span>
</nav>

import {MDCTabBar, MDCTabBarFoundation} from '@material/tabs';

const tabBar = new MDCTabBar(document.querySelector('#my-mdc-tab-bar'));

Using the JavaScript Tab Bar Scroller Component

mdc-tab-bar-scroller ships with a Component/Foundation combo which wraps instances of mdc-tab-bar. mdc-tab-bar-scroller uses its initialize() method call a factory function which gathers and instantiates any tab bar elements that are children of the mdc-tab-bar-scroller root element.

The anatomy of mdc-tab-bar-scroller includes an instance of mdc-tab-bar, RTL-aware forward and back indicators which, when actioned on, move the tab bar left and right, and a scroll frame. The scroll frame is the parent element of the tab bar, and serves to mask the tabs in the tab bar when they overflow the available width.

Including in code

ES Module syntax

import {MDCTab, MDCTabFoundation} from '@material/tabs';
import {MDCTabBar, MDCTabBarFoundation} from '@material/tabs';
import {MDCTabBarScroller, MDCTabBarFoundationScroller} from '@material/tabs';

CommonJS

const mdcTabs = require('@material/tabs');
const MDCTab = mdcTabs.MDCTab;
const MDCTabFoundation = mdcTabs.MDCTabFoundation;

const MDCTabBar = mdcTabs.MDCTabBar;
const MDCTabBarFoundation = mdcTabs.MDCTabBarFoundation;

const MDCTabBarScroller = mdcTabs.MDCTabBarScroller;
const MDCTabBarScrollerFoundation = mdcTabs.MDCTabBarScrollerFoundation;

AMD

require(['path/to/@material/tabs'], mdcTabs => {
  const MDCTab = mdcTabs.MDCTab;
  const MDCTabFoundation = mdcTabs.MDCTabFoundation;

  const MDCTabBar = mdcTabs.MDCTabBar;
  const MDCTabBarFoundation = mdcTabs.MDCTabBarFoundation;

  const MDCTabBarScroller = mdcTabs.MDCTabBarScroller;
  const MDCTabBarScrollerFoundation = mdcTabs.MDCTabBarScrollerFoundation;
});

Global

const MDCTab = mdc.tabs.MDCTab;
const MDCTabFoundation = mdc.tabs.MDCTabFoundation;

const MDCTabBar = mdc.tabs.MDCTabBar;
const MDCTabBarFoundation = mdc.tabs.MDCTabBarFoundation;

const MDCTabBarScroller = mdc.tabs.MDCTabBarScroller;
const MDCTabBarScrollerFoundation = mdc.tabs.MDCTabBarScrollerFoundation;

Automatic Instantiation

If you do not care about retaining the component instance for the tabs, simply call attachTo() and pass it a DOM element.

mdc.tabs.MDCTabBarScroller.attachTo(document.querySelector('#my-mdc-tab-bar-scroller'));

Manual Instantiation

Tab Bar Scrollers can easily be initialized using their default constructors as well, similar to attachTo. This process involves a factory to create an instance of MDCTabBar from the mdc-tab-bar Element inside of the mdc-tab-bar-scroller node during the initialization phase of MDCTabBarScroller, e.g.:

<div id="my-mdc-tab-bar-scroller" class="mdc-tab-bar-scroller">
  <div class="mdc-tab-bar-scroller__indicator mdc-tab-bar-scroller__indicator--back">
    <a class="mdc-tab-bar-scroller__indicator__inner material-icons" href="#" aria-label="scroll back button">
      navigate_before
    </a>
  </div>
  <div class="mdc-tab-bar-scroller__scroll-frame">
    <nav id="my-scrollable-tab-bar" class="mdc-tab-bar mdc-tab-bar-scroller__scroll-frame__tabs">
      <a class="mdc-tab mdc-tab--active" href="#one">Item One</a>
      <a class="mdc-tab" href="#two">Item Two</a>
      <a class="mdc-tab" href="#three">Item Three</a>
      <a class="mdc-tab" href="#four">Item Four</a>
      <a class="mdc-tab" href="#five">Item Five</a>
      <a class="mdc-tab" href="#six">Item Six</a>
      <a class="mdc-tab" href="#seven">Item Seven</a>
      <a class="mdc-tab" href="#eight">Item Eight</a>
      <a class="mdc-tab" href="#nine">Item Nine</a>
      <span class="mdc-tab-bar__indicator"></span>
    </nav>
  </div>
  <div class="mdc-tab-bar-scroller__indicator mdc-tab-bar-scroller__indicator--forward">
    <a class="mdc-tab-bar-scroller__indicator__inner material-icons" href="#" aria-label="scroll forward button">
      navigate_next
    </a>
  </div>
</div>

import {MDCTabBarScroller, MDCTabBarScrollerFoundation} from '@material/tabs';

const tabBarScroller = new MDCTabBarScroller(document.querySelector('#my-mdc-tab-bar-scroller'));

Tab Bar Scrollers can also instantiate any mdc-tab-bar from a DOM element on the fly using a built in factory function:

import {MDCTabBarScroller, MDCTabBarScrollerFoundation} from '@material/tabs';

const tabBarEl = document.querySelector('#my-mdc-tab-bar');
const scrollerEl = document.querySelector('#my-mdc-tab-bar-scroller');

const tabBarScroller = new MDCTabBarScroller(scrollerEl, undefined, tabBarEl);

This will create an instance of MDC Tab Bar during the initialization phase of Tab Bar Scroller.

The full foundation API

MDCTabBarScrollerFoundation.scrollBack() => void

Scrolls the tab bar such that the leftmost tab traverses the scroll frame and becomes the rightmost tab, potentially being partially, but not fully, occluded.

MDCTabBarScrollerFoundation.scrollForward() => void

Scrolls the tab bar such that the rightmost tab traverses the scroll frame and becomes the leftmost tab. This tabs left offset will line up with the left edge of the scroll frame, and never be partially or fully occluded.

NOTE: Due to a quirk in event behavior, we allow the rightmost tab to be partially occluded even when tabbed to because clicking on such an element would shift the frame on the focus event. This would result in a scenario where the ripple persists and the intended tab would not be selected due to the tab bar shifting before the mouseup or click events get dispatched.

MDCTabBarScrollerFoundation.scrollToTabAtIndex(index: number) => void

Scrolls the tab bar such that the tab at the index provided traverses the scroll frame and becomes the leftmost tab.

MDCTabBarScrollerFoundation.layout() => void

If the tab bar is overflowing its available width, this method will reset the back and forward indicators to the correct states (visible/hidden) based on the new width.
