This jQuery plugin provides responsive tab functionality. The tabs transform to an accordion when it reaches a CSS breakpoint. Check out a demo at http://jellekralt.github.io/Responsive-Tabs/demo.html
- Tabs transform to accordion based on breakpoint
- Uses javascript / jQuery for the technical tab switching (class based)
- Uses CSS for the desktop/tablet/mobile view
- Has callback events for the tab events
- Tabs can be opened with URL hashes
- Tabs can auto rotate
- Tabs can be collapsed (optional)
- Tabs can start collapsed based on the view (optional)
- Tabs can be disabled
- The tabs are controllable with API methods
- Cross browser compatibility (IE7+, Chrome, Firefox, Safari and Opera)
- Multiple device support (Web, Tablet, Mobile, etc)
=> Requires jQuery (minimaly jQuery 1.7.0) => Include jquery.responsiveTabs.js => Include responsive-tabs.css for the basic Tabs to Accordion switching => Include style.css for a basic tab/accordion theme
=> Use this HTML markup:
<div id="responsiveTabsDemo">
<ul>
<li><a href="#tab-1"> .... </a></li>
<li><a href="#tab-2"> .... </a></li>
<li><a href="#tab-3"> .... </a></li>
</ul>
<div id="tab-1"> ....... </div>
<div id="tab-2"> ....... </div>
<div id="tab-3"> ....... </div>
</div>=> Use this jQuery function to enable responsive tabs on the selected element:
$('#responsiveTabsDemo').responsiveTabs({
startCollapsed: 'accordion'
});npm install responsive-tabs
bower install responsive-tabs
The following options are available:
If set to 'true' the panels are collapsible. The values 'tabs' and 'accordion' can be used to make the panels collapsible in a specific view/state. If a tab is active and you select it again, the panel will collapse.
collapsible: false // The panels are not collapsible
collapsible: true // The panels are collapsible
collapsible: 'tabs' // The panels are only collapsible if the view is currently tab based
collapsible: 'accordion' // The panels are only collapsible if the view is currently accordion basedThis option defines if the first panel on load starts collapsed or not. With the values 'tabs' and 'accordion' you can specify in which view the tabs are supposed to start collapsed.
startCollapsed: false // Do not collapse on start
startCollapsed: true // Start with the panels collapsed
startCollapsed: 'tabs' // Start with the panels collapsed if the view is currently tab based
startCollapsed: 'accordion' // Start with the panels collapsed if the view is currently accordion basedAn array with zero based integers that define the tabs that should be disabled
disabled: [0,2] // Disables the first and third tabAn 0 based integer that defines the initial opened tab on load.
active: 1 // Opens the second tab on loadA boolean that can be used to enable and disable the setting of a reference to the selected tab in the URL hash. If set to 'true', the selecting of a new tab will set the reference to that tab in the URL hash.
setHash: trueThis option can be used to auto rotate the tabs. The tabs will stop rotating when a tab is selected.
rotate: false, // The tabs won't auto rotate
rotate: true, // The tabs will auto rotate from the startThis option can be used to specify the event that activates a tab. For instance: 'mouseover'. Defaults to 'click'
event: 'click' // (default) The tabs will activate on click
event: 'mouseover' // The tabs will activate on mouseover
etc...This option enables the animation of the panels. By default the panels will just show and hide, this option can be used to make the panels slide up and down and fade in and out.
animation: 'fade', // The panels will fade in and out
animation: 'slide', // The panels will slide up and downThis callback is called after a tab is selected
Arguments

Arguments

activateState: function(){}The following methods are available:
This method activates/opens a tab by using a zero based tab reference
$('#responsiveTabsDemo').responsiveTabs('activate', 1); // This would open the second tabThis method deactivates/closes a tab by using a zero based tab reference
$('#responsiveTabsDemo').responsiveTabs('deactivate', 1); // This would close the second tabThis method start the rotation of the tabs. You can use the first argument to define the speed.
$('#responsiveTabsDemo').responsiveTabs('startRotation', 1000); // This would open the second tabThe following events are emitted on the element the tabs are initialised on (the container):
This event is triggered when the tabs plugin has finished loading
Passed variables
