Tabs
Used to display content in a tabbed interface
Match trigger/panel values and choose automatic or manual activation. Lazy unmounting may reset child state, so lift state that must survive tab changes.
Included icon notices
The source viewer includes ICON_ATTRIBUTION.md and original notices for the icon collections used by these examples. Preserve them when redistributing examples; react-icons' wrapper license does not replace individual collection terms.
- Lucide: ISC
Installation and initialization
npm install @chakra-ui/react@3.37.0 @emotion/react@11.14.0
Initialize ChakraProvider with defaultSystem and Emotion before rendering. Preserve the host React version and inspect peer compatibility. Official npm installation supplies components, not these example source files. Use the resource setup guide for locale, next-themes and framework-specific SSR; copy the selected example source separately from npm installation.
Complete native usage example
This is the actual pinned example, not a generic API mock. Copy its source closure and retain the named export. Additional imports are listed per example below.
import { Tabs } from "@chakra-ui/react"
import { LuFolder, LuSquareCheck, LuUser } from "react-icons/lu"
export const TabsBasic = () => {
return (
<Tabs.Root defaultValue="members">
<Tabs.List>
<Tabs.Trigger value="members">
<LuUser />
Members
</Tabs.Trigger>
<Tabs.Trigger value="projects">
<LuFolder />
Projects
</Tabs.Trigger>
<Tabs.Trigger value="tasks">
<LuSquareCheck />
Settings
</Tabs.Trigger>
</Tabs.List>
<Tabs.Content value="members">Manage your team members</Tabs.Content>
<Tabs.Content value="projects">Manage your projects</Tabs.Content>
<Tabs.Content value="tasks">
Manage your tasks for freelancers
</Tabs.Content>
</Tabs.Root>
)
}
All examples and reproduction requirements
Names identify demos, not component variant props. Copy every sourceFiles entry for the selected example. The compositions alias denotes local files, not a package. Preserve relative imports or rewrite the alias to your project's actual path. React peers are inspected separately; editor examples retain the coherent pinned Tiptap extension family.

Native API and source references
The source viewer retains original declarations, imports and inheritance. Ark UI event contracts, Chakra style props and recipe types stay in their native packages; this guide does not flatten or invent their defaults. Code comments remain original source, not translated prose.

State and installation checks
Run strict types, the target production build and real interactions. Test labels/focus/keyboard, both themes, narrow layout, empty/loading/error states where supported and cleanup after unmount. Remote demo endpoints, uploads and downloads are constrained in the preview; configure your own services. Copying a command or reaching preview-ready does not prove installation or backend success.
