Tabs Plugin

The Tabs Plugin is an extension for Grav CMS. It adds partial template and blueprint files that enable the rendering of content in tabs by using tabs.js. For details on features, check over there.

Note that the Grav Team also provides tab functionality with their Shortcode UI Plugin. Some pointers that can help you decide which one suits you better:

• This plugin provides tabs - and nothing else
• This plugin does not use shortcodes, it reads tabs from the Page Frontmatter
• Tabs created with this plugin can retain their state via URL fragments
• Tabs created with this plugin degradge gracefully for users withut JS (haven't tested the shortcode version in this regard)

Installation

Installing the Tabs plugin can be done in one of three ways: The GPM (Grav Package Manager) installation method lets you quickly install the plugin with a simple terminal command, the manual method lets you do so via a zip file, and the admin method lets you do so via the Admin Plugin.

GPM Installation (Preferred)

To install the plugin via the GPM, through your system's terminal (also called the command line), navigate to the root of your Grav-installation, and enter:

bin/gpm install tabs

This will install the Tabs plugin into your /user/plugins-directory within Grav. Its files can be found under /your/site/grav/user/plugins/tabs.

Manual Installation

To install the plugin manually, download the zip-version of this repository and unzip it under /your/site/grav/user/plugins. Then rename the folder to tabs. You can find these files on GitHub or via GetGrav.org.

You should now have all the plugin files under

/your/site/grav/user/plugins/tabs

Admin Plugin

If you use the Admin Plugin, you can install the plugin directly by browsing the Plugins-menu and clicking on the Add button.

Configuration

Before configuring this plugin, you should copy the user/plugins/tabs/tabs.yaml to user/config/plugins/tabs.yaml and only edit that copy.

Here is the default configuration and an explanation of available options:

enabled: true
active: true

defer_js: true
built_in_css: true 
tabset_attribute: "data-tabs"
nav_element: "ul"
nav_class: "tab-nav"
tab_element: "div"
tab_class: "tab"
tab_class_active: "active"
tab_class_hidden: "hidden"
btn_class: "tab-button"
btn_class_active: "active"

• defer_js: Use the defer attribute to load tabs.js after the page has loaded
• built_in_css: Apply some basic CSS to the tabs (adds tabs.css to the page)
• tabset_attribute: HTML attribute to use for the tab sets
• nav_element: HTML element to use for the tab navigation
• nav_class: CSS class to add to the tab navigation
• tab_element: HTML element to use for tab elements
• tab_class: CSS class to add to each tab element
• tab_class_active: CSS class to add to the currently visible tab
• tab_class_hidden: CSS class to add to all currently hidden tabs
• btn_class: CSS class to add to all tab buttons
• btn_class_active: CSS class to add to the currently active tab button

If you use the Admin Plugin, a file with your configuration named tabs.yaml will be saved in the user/config/plugins/-folder once the configuration is saved in the Admin.

Usage

First, define the tabs in the page headers. Example:

tabs:
    -
        title: "Features"
        content: "The content field will be processed via **markdown**"
    -
        title: "Help"
        content: "For help, visit [the repository](https://github.com/domsson/grav-plugin-tabs)"

Second, use the provided partial template in your page template:

{% include "/partials/tabs.html.twig" %}

Optionally, you can also use the provided partial blueprint. For example, in your page blueprint:

forms:
    fields:
        tabs:
            fields:
                tabs:
                    type: tab
                    title: Tabs
                    import@:
                        type: partials/tabs
                        context: blueprints://
