Tabs

Organize complex forms using a standard tab element

Tab Modes

A tabs element can be constructed in either Data Mode or Form Mode. Form mode allows you to define each tab individually as its own form, very similar to how a tab element would work in FileMaker. Data Mode takes an array of data and generates a tab for each item in the array, with identical elements in each tab containers.

  • To use Data Mode, set "type": "vtabs"

  • To use Form Mode set "type": "tabs_form2" (preferred) or "type": "tabs_form"

Otherwise, all other parts of this page apply to both modes.

Description

styleClasses

field

Classes on the outer VFG form-group around the tabs field.

styleClassesWrapper

field

Classes on the outer tab wrapper (wrapper tab-wrapper panel panel-default by default). Overwrites the default classes when set; omit to keep legacy defaults. Use this for height/flex layout (e.g. flex flex-col flex-1 h-full). Available in basecode v3.5.58+.

styleClassesTabs

field

Classes on the <ul> that wraps all tab labels.

styleClassesTab

field or tab

Classes on each tab label (<li>). Per-tab value overrides the field default.

styleClassesTabActive

field or tab

Classes added to the active tab label. Per-tab value overrides the field default.

styleClassesBody

field

Classes on the tab content container around the panes.

styleClasses

tab

Classes on that tab’s inner pane (vue-form-generator). Set on each object inside the tabs schema array.

align

field

Adds tab-top, tab-left, etc. on the wrapper (separate from styleClassesWrapper).

Height / flex tip

To make tabs fill parent height, put flex/height classes on the wrapper:

Vertical Tabs give you the ability to contain repeating records (tab) of data and allow the user to add additional tabs.

v-tab's can contain full form schema. This means you can build forms within forms!
