Tab List @astryx-svelte/core v0.3.0 · TabList
Usage
TabList provides tab-style navigation for organizing content into categorized sections. Use it to let users switch between related views without leaving the page, with overflow items handled by a built-in "more" menu.ts
Best practices
| Guidance | Practices |
|---|---|
| Do | Keep tab labels short and descriptive so users can quickly scan available sections. |
| Do | Use TabMenu to group overflow items when horizontal space is limited rather than scrolling tabs off-screen. |
| Do | When using hasDivider with action buttons alongside tabs, match the Button size to the TabList size (both md, both sm); the divided tab strip reserves space so tabs and same-size buttons align to a shared baseline above the rail. |
| Don't | Use tabs for sequential steps or workflows; use a stepper or wizard pattern instead. |
| Don't | Place more than 6–8 visible tabs before the overflow menu; prioritize the most important categories. |
| Don't | Confuse TabList with SegmentedControl or ToggleButton. TabList is for navigation between views. SegmentedControl and ToggleButton are input controls: SegmentedControl always has exactly one selected option, while ToggleButton can be toggled on or off. |
