FAQ

How are the tabs set up?

The tabs are uncontrolled and start on Web. defaultValue is web, and each TabsTrigger and TabsContent has the tab's value.

Where do the tabs come from?

A list at the top of the file, each tab a label, a value and its three products, mapped to one trigger and one panel each.

What happens on narrow screens?

The panel is w-[700px] with max-w-full, so it never grows past the screen, but its columns get tight. Below the md breakpoint, show the same links in a Sheet or a Drawer instead.

How do the links use my router?

Each link is your router's link rendered through NavigationMenuLink, so it keeps the menu's styles and focus handling. NavigationMenuLink takes the Next.js Link through render, as in render={<Link href="#" />}.

How does the menu work from the keyboard?

Tab moves between the triggers and the links, Enter or Space opens a trigger's panel, and Escape closes it and returns focus to the trigger. The root is a nav, so screen readers list it as a navigation landmark.

How do I mark the current page?

Set aria-current="page" on the NavigationMenuLink that matches the route, and style it with the aria-[current=page]: variant. active on NavigationMenuLink sets it for you.
