Create collapsible tabs in Angular Tab component
27 Apr 202411 minutes to read
You can achieve collapse and expand functionality in Tab by adding/removing a custom CSS class in the click event handler for each tab.
- Define a CSS class to set the style property display as none. Here ‘collapse’ class is added to the content element for hiding it using
createdevent. - Bind the
selectedevent for Tab to collapse the initially selected Tab item
and bind custom click handler for the Tab headers. - In the event handler, add and remove ‘collapse’ class to hide and show the corresponding Tab content.
