Tabs and Pills

Tabs and Pills

Tabs and Pills are forms of navigation. Meaning they help the end-user navigate through the site in a user-friendly manner.

Tabs

To achieve bootstrap tabs, first you need an element that has the .nav class assigned to it. Then you simply add an extra class named .nav-tabs.

<ul class="nav nav-tabs">
  <li role="presentation" class="active"><a href="#">Home</a></li>
  <li role="presentation"><a href="#">Profile</a></li>
  <li role="presentation"><a href="#">Messages</a></li>
</ul>

Pills

Bootstrap Pills is achieved the same way as Bootstrap Tabs except instead of .nav-tabs, use .nav-pills.

<ul class="nav nav-pills">
  <li role="presentation" class="active"><a href="#">Home</a></li>
  <li role="presentation"><a href="#">Profile</a></li>
  <li role="presentation"><a href="#">Messages</a></li>
</ul>

Pills Stacked

Bootstrap Pills are also vertically stackable by using .nav stacked in conjunction with .nav-pills.

<ul class="nav nav-pills nav-stacked">
  ...
</ul>

Bootstrap Tabs/Pills Justified

Both Bootstrap Tabs and Pills can have equal width of their parent at screens wider than 768px by using .nav-justified class. On smaller screens, the nav links are stacked.

<ul class="nav nav-tabs nav-justified">
  ...
</ul>
<ul class="nav nav-pills nav-justified">
  ...
</ul>

Disabled Links

For any nav component (tabs or pills) add .disabled for gray links and no hover effects

<ul class="nav nav-pills">
  ...
  <li role="presentation" class="disabled"><a href="#">Disabled link</a></li>
  ...
</ul>

Tabs with Dropdowns

Add dropdown menus to your nav tabs.

<ul class="nav nav-tabs">
  ...
  <li role="presentation" class="dropdown">
    <a class="dropdown-toggle" data-toggle="dropdown" href="#" role="button" aria-haspopup="true" aria-expanded="false">
      Dropdown <span class="caret"></span>
    </a>
    <ul class="dropdown-menu">
      ...
    </ul>
  </li>
  ...
</ul>

Tabs with Dropdowns

Add dropdown menus to your nav pills.

<ul class="nav nav-pills">
  ...
  <li role="presentation" class="dropdown">
    <a class="dropdown-toggle" data-toggle="dropdown" href="#" role="button" aria-haspopup="true" aria-expanded="false">
      Dropdown <span class="caret"></span>
    </a>
    <ul class="dropdown-menu">
      ...
    </ul>
  </li>
  ...
</ul>
