Tabs

This plugin is a wrapper for the Twitter Bootstrap Tab component. It provides the following features:

  • Adding tabs
  • Optional close icons with 2 states (modified / unmodified). The icon state can be changed by triggering the modified.oc.tab/unmodified.oc.tab events on any element within tab, or on the tab itself.
  • Removing tabs with the Close icon, or with triggering an event from inside a tab pane or tab. The removing can be canceled if the confirm.oc.tab event handler returns false.
  • Scrolling tabs if they do not fit the screen
  • Collapsible tabs

Supported CSS modifiers

These modifiers can be added in addition to the control-tabs class:

  • tabs-inset: Applies a negative margin to the tabs allowing them to sit well inside a padded container.
  • tabs-offset: Applies a positive padding to tabs so they sit well inside a flush (non padded) container.
  • tabs-flush: Tabs to sit flush to the element above it.

JavaScript API

  • $('#mytabs').ocTab({closable: true, closeConfirmation: 'Close this tab? Unsaved data will be lost.'})
  • $('#mytabs').ocTab('addTab', 'Tab title', 'Tab content', identifier) - adds tab. The optional identifier parameter allows to associate a identifier with a tab. The identifier can be used with the goTo() method to find and open a tab by it's identifier.
  • $('#mytabs').ocTab('closeTab', '.nav-tabs > li.active', true) - closes a tab. The second argument can point to a tab or tab pane. The thrid argument determines whether the tab should be closed without the user confirmation. The default value is false.
  • $('.nav-tabs > li.active').trigger('close.oc.tab') - another way to close a tab. The event can be triggered on a tab, tab pane or any element inside a tab or tab pane.
  • $('#mytabs').ocTab('modifyTab', '.nav-tabs > li.active') - marks a tab as modified. Use the 'unmodifyTab' to mark a tab as unmodified.
  • $('.nav-tabs > li.active').trigger('modified.oc.tab') - another way to mark a tab as modified. The event can be triggered on a tab, tab pane or any element inside a tab or tab pane. Use the 'unmodified.oc.tab' to mark a tab as unmodified.
  • $('#mytabs').ocTab('goTo', 'someidentifier') - Finds a tab by it's identifier and opens it.
