The tabs
shortcode displays arbitrary content in unlimited number of tabs. This comes in handy eg. for providing code snippets for multiple languages or providing configuration in different formats.
{{< tabs groupId="tabs-example-language" >}} {{% tab name="python" %}}
print("Hello World!")
{{% /tab %}} {{% tab name="bash" %}}
echo "Hello World!"
{{% /tab %}} {{< /tabs >}}
Usage
While the examples are using shortcodes with named parameter you are free to also call this shortcode from your own partials.
{{< tabs groupId="shortcode-parameter">}} {{% tab name="shortcode" %}}
{{</* tabs */>}}
{{%/* tab name="python" */%}}
```python
print("Hello World!")
```
{{%/* /tab */%}}
{{%/* tab name="bash" */%}}
```bash
echo "Hello World!"
```
{{%/* /tab */%}}
{{</* /tabs */>}}
{{% /tab %}} {{% tab name="partial" %}}
{{ partial "shortcodes/tabs.html" (dict
"context" .
"tabs" (slice
(dict
"name" "python"
"content" ("```python\nprint(\"Hello World!\")\n```" | markdownify)
)
(dict
"name" "bash"
"content" ("```bash\necho \"Hello World!\"\n```" | markdownify)
)
)
)}}
{{% /tab %}} {{< /tabs >}}
Parameter
Name | Default | Notes |
---|---|---|
groupId | default |
Arbitrary name of the group the tab view belongs to. Tab views with the same groupId sychronize their selected tab. This sychronization applies to the whole site! |
<content> | <empty> | Arbitrary number of tabs defined with the tab sub-shortcode. |
{{% notice note %}}
When using tab views with different content sets, make sure to use a common groupId
for equal sets of tabs but distinct groupId
for different sets.
The tab selection is restored automatically based on the groupId
and if it cannot find a tab item because it came from the 'default'
group on a different page then the first tab is selected instead.
{{% /notice %}}
Examples
Distinct groupId
{{</* tabs groupId="config" */>}}
{{%/* tab name="json" */%}}
```json
{
"Hello": "World"
}
```
{{%/* /tab */%}}
{{%/* tab name="XML" */%}}
```xml
<Hello>World</Hello>
```
{{%/* /tab */%}}
{{%/* tab name="properties" */%}}
```properties
Hello = World
```
{{%/* /tab */%}}
{{</* /tabs */>}}
{{< tabs groupId="tabs-example-config" >}} {{% tab name="json" %}}
{
"Hello": "World"
}
{{% /tab %}} {{% tab name="XML" %}}
<Hello>World</Hello>
{{% /tab %}} {{% tab name="properties" %}}
Hello = World
{{% /tab %}} {{< /tabs >}}
Non-Distinct groupId
See what happens to this tab view if you select properties tab from the previous example.
{{</* tabs groupId="config" */>}}
{{%/* tab name="json" */%}}
```json
{
"Hello": "World"
}
```
{{%/* /tab */%}}
{{%/* tab name="XML" */%}}
```xml
<Hello>World</Hello>
```
{{%/* /tab */%}}
{{</* /tabs */>}}
{{< tabs groupId="tabs-example-config" >}} {{% tab name="json" %}}
{
"Hello": "World"
}
{{% /tab %}} {{% tab name="XML" %}}
<Hello>World</Hello>
{{% /tab %}} {{< /tabs >}}
