Tabs with Icons for Vue

Account, Billing, Notifications and Settings, each with an icon before the label. Account is selected and repeats the icon beside its heading.

UI library: Ark UI

Account, Billing, Notifications and Settings each show an icon before the word. Account is selected. Its panel repeats the icon in a tinted circle beside the heading and a short paragraph.

Add icons when people see the same sections often enough to recognize them. A Navigation Menu fits if each section is its own page. On Vue, Ark UI does not choose the icons.

FAQ

Where do the icons sit in the triggers?

Before the word. The trigger draws an unsized icon at size-4 and spaces it from the label with its own gap.

What are the four tabs?

Account, Billing, Notifications and Settings, built from a sections array. Account is the default, and the group is w-full max-w-md.

Why is the icon repeated in the panel?

It ties the panel to its tab. The panel draws the same icon at size-5 in text-primary, inside a size-10 circle with bg-primary/10.

What names the trigger for a screen reader?

The visible word. The icons have aria-hidden="true", so the trigger is announced only by its label.

What is under each heading?

A muted subtitle, such as Manage your account settings, then a muted paragraph about the section.

Does the list stretch across the panel?

No. TabsList sizes to its four triggers, and the panels fill the max-w-md column under it.
