Who is it for?
Developers grouping related panels under one heading.
When should I use it?
For sibling views that share context (settings groups, code variants).
When should I pick something else?
For sequential steps — use WizardSteps instead.

Use it

Examples import from the package. With copied source, import from @/components/ui/tabs instead.

Simple
import { Tabs, TabsContent, TabsList, TabsTrigger } from "@zedtech/zedkit-ui";
<Tabs defaultValue="one"><TabsList>
<TabsTrigger value="one">First</TabsTrigger>
</TabsList><TabsContent value="one">First panel.</TabsContent></Tabs>

Kit not installed yet?

You get
Every component from one import, with the theme tokens included. Updates arrive with your package manager.
You need
  • React 19 and Tailwind CSS 4, for example a Next.js app created with the Tailwind option.
  1. Install

    Terminal
    pnpm add @zedtech/zedkit-ui @fontsource-variable/inter @fontsource-variable/space-grotesk
  2. Load the styles

    Tailwind does not scan node_modules, so the @source line points it at the kit's class names. The path is relative to this file.

    src/app/globals.cssReplace the contents
    @import "tailwindcss";
    @import "@zedtech/zedkit-ui/styles.css";
    @source "../../node_modules/@zedtech/zedkit-ui/src/**/*.{ts,tsx}";
    @source not "../../node_modules/@zedtech/zedkit-ui/src/**/*.test.*";
    
  3. Pick a look

    Set data-identity="glass" on <html> so the finished app matches the site. Fresh app: replace src/app/layout.tsx. Existing app: merge, and keep ThemeProvider and other providers.

    src/app/layout.tsxReplace the contents
    import "./globals.css";
    import "./fonts";
    
    export default function RootLayout({ children }: { children: React.ReactNode }) {
      return (
        <html lang="en" data-identity="glass">
          <body>{children}</body>
        </html>
      );
    }
    
  4. Load the fonts

    The Glass look uses Inter and Space Grotesk; these imports self-host them.

    src/app/fonts.tsCreate the file
    import "@fontsource-variable/inter";
    import "@fontsource-variable/space-grotesk";
    
  5. Import and render

    src/app/page.tsxReplace the contents
    import { Tabs, TabsContent, TabsList, TabsTrigger } from "@zedtech/zedkit-ui";
    
    export default function Page() {
      return (
        <main className="px-page-gutter py-section-sm">
          <Tabs defaultValue="one"><TabsList>
          <TabsTrigger value="one">First</TabsTrigger>
          </TabsList><TabsContent value="one">First panel.</TabsContent></Tabs>
        </main>
      );
    }

Props

Prop

Type

Show inherited HTML attributes

Standard attributes from the underlying element. See MDN.

Prop

Type

Accessibility

Arrow keys move between triggers (Radix roving tabindex); keep trigger text short so accessible names stay clear.

Troubleshooting

Panels not switching — each `TabsTrigger`/`TabsContent` pair shares one `value`; the root needs `defaultValue` (uncontrolled) or `value` + `onValueChange` (controlled). Focus ring missing — triggers use the `focus-ring` utility shipped in the brick css.
