Tab Layout

All Contributors

The Tab Layout app provides you the needed structure to create different layouts within the store's main one from the use of tabs.

tab-layout
Example of a storefront with tabs (Perfumes até 40%off, Presentes, and Best Sellers) displaying different content for users.

Configuration

  1. Add the Tab Layout app to your theme's dependencies in the manifest.json file:
{
 "dependencies": {
   "vtex.tab-layout": "0.x"
  }
}

Now, you are able to use all the blocks exported by the tab-layout app. Check out the full list below:

Block name Description
tab-layout https://img.shields.io/badge/-Mandatory-red Parent block that merely defines the logic (via its children blocks) for the layout structure, declaring the desired list of tabs and its content.
tab-list https://img.shields.io/badge/-Mandatory-red Defines the list of tabs to be rendered. It only accepts the tab-list.item block as a child.
tab-list.item https://img.shields.io/badge/-Mandatory-red Defines the rendering for a given tab. Notice that it does not define the tab content, which is handled by the tab-content.item block.
tab-list.item.children Flexible alternative to tab-list.item. Defines the rendering for a given tab and also accepts any array of blocks as its children.
tab-content https://img.shields.io/badge/-Mandatory-red Defines the list of content to be rendered in each tab. It only accepts the tab-content.item block as a child.
tab-content.item https://img.shields.io/badge/-Mandatory-red Defines the content for a given tab.
  1. In the desired page template (e.g., store.home), add the tab-layout block:
{
  "store.home": {
    "blocks": [
      "tab-layout#home"
    ]
  },
  1. Declare the tab-list and the tab-content blocks as tab-layout's children. Do not forget to use the tab-layout's props, for example:
{
  "store.home": {
    "blocks": [
      "tab-layout#home"
    ]
  },
  "tab-layout#home": {
    "children": [
      "tab-list#home",
      "tab-content#home"
    ],
    "props": {
      "blockClass": "home",
      "defaultActiveTabId": "home1"
    }
  }
}
  1. Add and then declare the desired tab-list.item blocks as tab-list's children:
{
  "store.home": {
    "blocks": [
      "tab-layout#home"
    ]
  },
  "tab-layout#home": {
    "children": [
      "tab-list#home",
      "tab-content#home"
    ],
    "props": {
      "blockClass": "home",
      "defaultActiveTabId": "home1"
    }
  },
  "tab-list#home": {
    "children": [
      "tab-list.item#home1",
      "tab-list.item#home2"
    ]
  },
  "tab-list.item#home1": {
    "props": {
      "tabId": "home1",
      "label": "Home 1",
      "defaultActiveTab": true
    }
  },
  "tab-list.item#home2": {
    "props": {
      "tabId": "home2",
      "label": "Home 2"
    }
  }
}
  1. Add and then declare the desired tab-content.item blocks as tab-content's children:
{
  "store.home": {
    "blocks": [
      "tab-layout#home"
    ]
  },
  "tab-layout#home": {
    "children": [
      "tab-list#home",
      "tab-content#home"
    ],
    "props": {
      "blockClass": "home",
      "defaultActiveTabId": "home1"
    }
  },
  "tab-list#home": {
    "children": [
      "tab-list.item#home1",
      "tab-list.item#home2"
    ]
  },
  "tab-list.item#home1": {
    "props": {
      "tabId": "home1",
      "label": "Home 1",
      "defaultActiveTab": true
    }
  },
  "tab-list.item#home2": {
    "props": {
      "tabId": "home2",
      "label": "Home 2"
    }
  },
  "tab-content#home": {
    "children": [
      "tab-content.item#home1",
      "tab-content.item#home2"
    ]
  },
  "tab-content.item#home1": {
    "children": [
      "carousel#home"
    ],
    "props": {
      "tabId": "home1"
    }
  },
  "tab-content.item#home2": {
    "children": [
      "shelf#home",
      "info-card#home",
      "rich-text#question",
      "rich-text#link",
      "newsletter"
    ],
    "props": {
      "tabId": "home2"
    }
  }
}

⚠️ Make sure to declare the tab-content.item's children blocks in order to properly render the tab content.

tab-layout props

Prop name Type Description Default value
defaultActiveTabId string ID of the desired tab to be rendered as the default one. If no value is provided, the first tab declared in the theme will be used as default. undefined
blockClass string Block ID of your choosing to be used in CSS customization. undefined

tab-list props

Prop name Type Description Default value
blockClass string Block ID of your choosing to be used in CSS customization. undefined

tab-list.item props

Prop name Type Description Default value
blockClass string Block ID of your choosing to be used in CSS customization. undefined
tabId string Tab ID of your choosing. It will be used to match the tab to its content (defined by the tab-content.item block). undefined
label string Defines the tab's text label. undefined
defaultActiveTab boolean Defines the item as the default active tab. false

tab-list.item.children props

Prop name Type Description Default value
blockClass string Block ID of your choosing to be used in CSS customization. undefined
tabId string Tab ID of your choosing. It will be used to match the tab to a given content (defined by the tab-content.item block). undefined

tab-content props

Prop name Type Description Default value

tab-content.item props
