boost-js-tabs v0.0.2

Boost JS Tabs

A style-free tabs plugin for jQuery and Boost JS. While other plugins style and arrange your tabs and panels for you, this plugin only handles the functionality, leaving the layout and styling up to you.

Installation

Install with npm:

npm install boost-js-tabs

Install in browser:

<script src="https://cdn.rawgit.com/marksmccann/boost-js-tabs/master/dist/tabs.min.js"></script>

Usage

Create Plugin

var boost = require('boost-js');
// var boost = $.fn.boost; (browser install)

var tabs = require('boost-js-tabs');
// var tabs = $.fn.boost.tabs; (browser install)

$.fn.tabs = boost( tabs.plugin, tabs.defaults );

Markup Structure

<ul id="tabs">
    <li><a href="#panel1" data-bind="#tabs" data-role="tab">Tab 1</a></li>
    <li><a href="#panel2" data-bind="#tabs" data-role="tab">Tab 2</a></li>
    <li><a href="#panel3" data-bind="#tabs" data-role="tab">Tab 3</a></li>
</ul>
<div id="panel1" data-bind="#tabs" data-role="panel">Panel 1</div>
<div id="panel2" data-bind="#tabs" data-role="panel">Panel 2</div>
<div id="panel3" data-bind="#tabs" data-role="panel">Panel 3</div>

Note: data-bind is used to link the element to the instance, data-role is used to define the element's role in that instance. See Boost JS for more details.
