Tabs

Canvas tabs are built on Bootstrap's tab component with a themed .canvas-tabs wrapper. They organise content into switchable panels with clean, responsive styling and support several visual variants: default, right-aligned, side tabs, and pill styles.

Structure

Tabs have two parts: a nav list of triggers and a .tab-content block of panels. Each trigger targets a panel by id via data-bs-target, and each panel carries a matching id.

<ul class="nav canvas-tabs tabs nav-tabs mb-3" id="canvas-tab" role="tablist">
    <li class="nav-item" role="presentation">
        <button class="nav-link active" id="canvas-home-tab" data-bs-toggle="pill"
                data-bs-target="#home2" type="button" role="tab"
                aria-controls="canvas-home" aria-selected="true">Home</button>
    </li>
    <li class="nav-item" role="presentation">
        <button class="nav-link" id="canvas-profile-tab" data-bs-toggle="pill"
                data-bs-target="#profile2" type="button" role="tab"
                aria-controls="canvas-profile" aria-selected="false">Profile</button>
    </li>
    <li class="nav-item" role="presentation">
        <button class="nav-link" id="canvas-contact-tab" data-bs-toggle="pill"
                data-bs-target="#contact2" type="button" role="tab"
                aria-controls="canvas-contact" aria-selected="false">Contact</button>
    </li>
</ul>

<div class="tab-content">
    <div class="tab-pane fade show active" id="home2" role="tabpanel"
         aria-labelledby="canvas-home-tab" tabindex="0">
        <p>Home panel content.</p>
    </div>
    <div class="tab-pane fade" id="profile2" role="tabpanel"
         aria-labelledby="canvas-profile-tab" tabindex="0">
        <p>Profile panel content.</p>
    </div>
    <div class="tab-pane fade" id="contact2" role="tabpanel"
         aria-labelledby="canvas-contact-tab" tabindex="0">
        <p>Contact panel content.</p>
    </div>
</div>

Key Classes and Attributes

.nav.canvas-tabs.tabs.nav-tabs: the themed tab nav bar.
.nav-link with .active marks the current tab.
data-bs-toggle="pill" and data-bs-target="#id": wire each button to its panel (Bootstrap behaviour).
.tab-content wraps all .tab-pane panels.
.tab-pane.fade with .show.active on the initially visible panel.
Accessibility: role, aria-controls, aria-selected, aria-labelledby, and tabindex="0" on panels.

Right-Aligned Tabs

Push the tab nav to the right with a flex utility:

<ul class="nav canvas-tabs tabs nav-tabs justify-content-end mb-3" role="tablist">
    <li class="nav-item" role="presentation">
        <button class="nav-link active" data-bs-toggle="pill"
                data-bs-target="#tab-right-home2" type="button" role="tab"
                aria-selected="true">Home</button>
    </li>
    <li class="nav-item" role="presentation">
        <button class="nav-link" data-bs-toggle="pill"
                data-bs-target="#tab-right-profile2" type="button" role="tab"
                aria-selected="false">Profile</button>
    </li>
</ul>

Tips

Each data-bs-target id must exactly match one .tab-pane id, and ids must be unique across the page.
Only one trigger should carry active and only one panel show active on load.
Keep aria-* attributes intact for screen-reader support.
For carousels inside tabs, re-initialise or refresh the carousel when its tab becomes visible, since hidden elements have no measurable width.
