TabsFor

ActiveView Helper for creating tabs with Bootstrap.

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'tabs_for'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install tabs_for

The gem depends on Bootstrap 3 to create the tabs. Bring bootstrap into your project by using Bootstrap for Sass or you preferred method.

Preferred icon and CSS framework is Font Awesome and the help option uses Font Awesome to display the help icon. This dependency could easily be removed in the future. Bring Font Awesome into your project by using font-awesome-rails or your preferred method.

Usage

Generate the tabs with corresponding panes using the API below. tab takes two arguments and a block. If a symbol is used and the symbol is an attribute on the model it will get translated, else the string will be used directly. tab requires a block, this will be used as content in the tabs pane.

<%= tabs_for @project do |b| %>
  <%= b.tab :tasks, icon: "tasks", size: @project.tasks.size, active: true do %>
    <%= render partial: "tasks/table", locals: { tasks: @project.tasks } %>
  <% end %>
  <%= b.tab :people, icon: "users", size: @project.people.size, label: "Members", help: "Only showing active users." do %>
    <%= render partial: "people/table", locals: { people: @project.people } %>
  <% end %>
  <%= b.tab :statistics, icon: "bar-chart" do %>
    <%= render "statistics", object: @project %>
  <% end %>
  <%= b.tab :settings, icon: "cogs" do %>
    <%= render "settings", object: @project %>
  <% end %>
<% end %>
