Usage

• If you use bower or npm, just bower/npm install v-tabs. If not, download files from the github repo.

• Include angular.js, angular-animate.js, v-tabs.js, and v-tabs.css:

<link href="v-tabs.css" rel="stylesheet" />

<script src="angular.js"></script>
<script src="angular-animate.js"></script>

<script src="v-tabs.js"></script>

• Add ngAnimate and vTabs as dependencies to your application module:

var myApp = angular.module('myApp', ['ngAnimate', 'vTabs']);

• And put the following markup in your template:

<v-tabs class="vTabs--default" horizontal active="activeTabIndex">
  <v-tab>Tab 1</v-tab>
  <v-tab>Tab 2</v-tab>
  <v-tab>Tab 3</v-tab>
</v-tabs>

<v-pages class="vPages--default" active="activeTabIndex">
  <v-page>
    <h3>Page 1</h3>
    <p>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet enim. Etiam ullamcorper. Suspendisse a pellentesque dui, non felis.</p>
  </v-page>
  <v-page>
    <h3>Page 2</h3>
    <p>Maecenas malesuada elit lectus felis, malesuada ultricies.</p>
  </v-page>
  <v-page>
    <h3>Page 3</h3>
    <p>Curabitur et ligula. Ut molestie a, ultricies porta urna.</p>
  </v-page>
</v-pages>

• You can also use v-tabs with ng-repeat:

<v-tabs class="vTabs--default" horizontal active="activeTabIndex">
  <v-tab ng-repeat="page in pages" ng-bind="page.title"></v-tab>
</v-tabs>

<v-pages class="vPages--default" active="activeTabIndex">
  <v-page ng-repeat="page in pages" ng-bind="page.content"></v-page>
</v-pages>

Accessibility

vTabs manages keyboard focus and adds some common aria-* attributes. BUT you should additionally place the aria-controls and aria-labelledby:

<v-tabs class="vTabs--default" horizontal control="tabs" active="tabs.active">
  <v-tab id="tab0{{$index}}" aria-controls="page0{{$index}}" ng-repeat="page in pages" ng-bind="page.title"></v-tab>
</v-tabs>

<v-pages class="vPages--default" active="tabs.active">
  <v-page id="page0{{$index}}" aria-labelledby="tab0{{$index}}" ng-repeat="page in pages" ng-bind="page.content"></v-page>
</v-pages>
