How to build tabs in Vue
Friday, January 9, 2026
Tab interfaces organize related content into separate panels that users can switch between, reducing page clutter and improving content discoverability. With over 12 years of Vue.js development experience since 2014 and as the creator of CoreUI, I’ve built tab components for countless enterprise dashboards. A Vue tabs component requires reactive state to track the active tab, methods to switch tabs, and conditional rendering to show the correct panel. This approach creates a flexible, reusable tabs system without external dependencies.
