@mlaursen hey man thank you so much for the fix

I'm wondering is there any chance to add prev / next buttons to control the tabs?
Ot at least adding api to control them for example adding some function to control them so we can add our own buttons?

I don't have an example of this on the documentation site, but you can actually manually control the active tab by providing activeIndex and onActiveIndexChange props to the TabsManager. So here's a quick example of adding buttons that can increment and decrement the tab index:

Is that kind of what you were hoping for?

Oh thank you so much for the demo
I want something similar
I dont want button to control the active tab i want button to navigate between the tabs something like this

Ahhh, okay. I'll look into creating a native API for something like this. For now, here's an example of manually controlling the scroll position:

https://codesandbox.io/s/t0pvm7?file=/src/Demo.tsx

Tabs have the scrollbar hidden by default by setting scrollbar-width: none since it makes the default tab indicator hard to see. You can re-enable the scrollbar by adding scrollbar-width: auto. You can then control the scroll position with buttons by attaching a ref to the Tabs component.

That's exactly what I'm looking for thank you so much.
I wanted to ask you is there any possible way to just use the tabs separated from the other react-md components like i dont want to install the entire library inside my project just for using the tabs which is all i need in my project.

[mlaursen]

Yeah, you can kind of do this by using the scoped packages instead of the root react-md package. However, the @react-md/tabs package also requires some behavior from @react-md/utils so a minimal setup would be something like:

npm install --save @react-md/utils @react-md/tabs
npm install --save-dev sass     # if not done so already

@use '@react-md/tabs/dist/mixins' as *;

// generate tabs styles and any other required styles
@include react-md-utils;

import { Dir, UserInteractionModeListener } from "@react-md/utils";


render(
  <UserInteractionModeListener>
    <Dir>
      <App />
    </DIr>
  </UserInteractionModeListener>,
  rootElement
);
