How to switch through tabs in bulma

Question

I' trying to implement a nav tab panel to switch through tabs. I went through Bulma documentation but couldn't find any. Here's the sample code

<div class="tabs is-toggle is-fullwidth">
  <ul>
    <li class="is-active">
      <a>
        <span class="icon is-small"><i class="fa fa-image"></i></span>
        <span>Pictures</span>
      </a>
      <p>
      Here goes pictures
      </p>
    </li>
    <li>
      <a>
        <span class="icon is-small"><i class="fa fa-music"></i></span>
        <span>Music</span>
      </a>
       <p>
      Here goes music
      </p>
    </li>
    <li>
      <a>
        <span class="icon is-small"><i class="fa fa-film"></i></span>
        <span>Videos</span>
      </a>
       <p>
      Here goes music
      </p>
    </li>
    <li>
      <a>
        <span class="icon is-small"><i class="fa fa-file-text-o"></i></span>
        <span>Documents</span>
      </a>
       <p>
      Here goes music
      </p>
    </li>
  </ul>
</div>

Here' the JSfiddle I'm trying to work on. I want "Here goes picture" to only show up when pictures tab is active and vice-versa

Answer 1

You should separate the tabs and the tab content into separate containers. You can match a tab to the correct content using the data attribute.

Set the tab content to be hidden by default, unless it has the class active. When you click on a tab, the corresponding tab content receives active.

You can update the fiddle/snippet below with more appropriate elements and class/id names as you need.

fiddle

$(document).ready(function() {
  $('#tabs li').on('click', function() {
    var tab = $(this).data('tab');

    $('#tabs li').removeClass('is-active');
    $(this).addClass('is-active');

    $('#tab-content p').removeClass('is-active');
    $('p[data-content="' + tab + '"]').addClass('is-active');
  });
});

#tab-content p {
  display: none;
}

#tab-content p.is-active {
  display: block;
}

    </li>
    <li data-tab="2">

        <span class="icon is-small"><i class="fa fa-music"></i></span>
        <span>Music</span>

    <li data-tab="3">

        <span>Videos</span>
      </a>
    </li>
    <li data-tab="4">
      <a>
        <span class="icon is-small"><i class="fa fa-file-text-o"></i></span>
        <span>Documents</span>
      </a>
    </li>
  </ul>
</div>
<div id="tab-content">
  <p class="is-active" data-content="1">
    Pictures
  </p>
  <p data-content="2">

  <p data-content="3">

  <p data-content="4">

</div>

Example without jQuery

const TABS = [...document.querySelectorAll('#tabs li')];
const CONTENT = [...document.querySelectorAll('#tab-content p')];
const ACTIVE_CLASS = 'is-active';

function initTabs() {
    TABS.forEach((tab) => {
      tab.addEventListener('click', (e) => {
        let selected = tab.getAttribute('data-tab');
        updateActiveTab(tab);
        updateActiveContent(selected);
      })
    })
}

function updateActiveTab(selected) {
  TABS.forEach((tab) => {
    if (tab && tab.classList.contains(ACTIVE_CLASS)) {
      tab.classList.remove(ACTIVE_CLASS);
    }
  });
  selected.classList.add(ACTIVE_CLASS);
}

function updateActiveContent(selected) {
  CONTENT.forEach((item) => {
    if (item && item.classList.contains(ACTIVE_CLASS)) {
      item.classList.remove(ACTIVE_CLASS);
    }
    let data = item.getAttribute('data-content');
    if (data === selected) {
      item.classList.add(ACTIVE_CLASS);
    }
  });
}

initTabs();

#tab-content p {
  display: none;
}

#tab-content p.is-active {
  display: block;
}
