Set custom animation in Angular Tab component
22 Sep 20259 minutes to read
The Tab component supports custom animations for both previous and next tab transitions using the built-in animation options from Syncfusion’s Animation library. The animation property allows you to configure easing, duration, and various animation effect options to create smooth, visually appealing tab transitions.
The default animation configuration uses SlideLeftIn for previous tab animation and SlideRightIn for next tab animation. Animation can be completely disabled by setting the animation effect as None.
When disabling animations by setting the effect to None, use the following CSS to also disable the indicator animation for a consistent experience:
.e-tab .e-tab-header:not(.e-vertical) .e-indicator, .e-tab .e-tab-header.e-vertical .e-indicator {
transition: none;
}The following sample demonstrates various animation types that work effectively with the Tab component. Explore different animation effects to find the best fit for your application’s user experience.
