Tabs

Gliding Pill Tabs

Tabs with a single pill underneath: it measures the active button and glides across with a light overshoot.

React + Tailwind, shadcn-compatible: press “Copy for AI” and your Cursor or Claude Code agent installs it with the shadcn CLI.

What you can change

  • the items array: id, label and panel content — content is a ReactNode
  • defaultId — which tab starts open
  • the list name through label: a screen reader announces it, the screen does not show it

A link for your AI agent: preview, code and instructions.

FAQ

How do I add Gliding Pill Tabs with Cursor or Claude Code?
Press “Copy for AI” on this page and paste it into your agent's chat. The instruction contains the shadcn CLI install command, the dependencies and what to keep, so the agent installs this exact component instead of recreating a lookalike.
What does Gliding Pill Tabs depend on?
No npm packages beyond React and Tailwind CSS.
What can I change in Gliding Pill Tabs?
Adapt: the items array: id, label and panel content — content is a ReactNode; defaultId — which tab starts open; the list name through label: a screen reader announces it, the screen does not show it. Keep as installed: the local --vibeui-tabs-015-* palette — do not swap it for your theme tokens (bg-muted, text-muted-foreground and the like); the measurement from the active button's offsetLeft and offsetWidth: a pill with a hard-coded width drifts off the label in another language; the spring easing with its two transition declarations: the linear(…) string carries the overshoot, the cubic-bezier before it stays as the fallback for older browsers.
Is Gliding Pill Tabs free?
Yes. The preview is open without an account; with a free account you can copy up to 20 components a month.

Technical notes

One file, zero dependencies, the --vibeui-tabs-015-* palette. Client component: useState holds the selection, a useEffect with a ResizeObserver measures the active button. The markup follows the WAI-ARIA tabs pattern: role="tablist" with an aria-label, role="tab" with aria-selected and aria-controls, role="tabpanel" with aria-labelledby; only the active tab lives in the Tab order, the rest are reached with the arrows, Home and End. The pill is the track's single ::before: its width and offset come from the --vibeui-tabs-015-w and --vibeui-tabs-015-x variables that the component writes from the active button's offsetWidth and offsetLeft. Until the first measurement the pill is transparent and the track is marked data-ready. The theme comes from color-scheme through light-dark(), while the .dark class and data-theme="dark" declare color-scheme:dark.
