Livewire Tabs
Tabs whose active value entangles a Livewire property at runtime, so the server can switch tabs and a click pushes the value back. Requires Livewire 3.
Preview
Controls
Device view renders in an isolated frame so real responsive breakpoints apply. Switch to Full for overflowing popovers.

Guidance
Livewire framework adapterAdd server-driven behavior to an existing interaction pattern.
Use when
- Use this Livewire variant when the same core pattern needs server-driven interactivity. Apply the underlying base component’s usability rules; the framework integration does not change when the pattern is appropriate.
Avoid when
- Apply the tabs guidance: use for a few substantial peer sections, not as a generic server-state switcher.
- Task length
- short
- Interaction cost
- medium
- Interruptiveness
- none
- Input precision
- none
- Mobile / touch risk
- medium
- Accessibility risk
- high
- Needs background context
- Yes
- Comparison needed
- No
Preferred alternatives
- Base component without server round trips
Anti-patterns
- Treating framework integration as a UX rationale

Usage
<x-ui.livewire-tabs
wire-model="activeTab"
default="overview"
:tabs="[
['value' => 'overview', 'label' => 'Overview'],
['value' => 'analytics', 'label' => 'Analytics'],
['value' => 'settings', 'label' => 'Settings'],
]"
class="w-full max-w-md"
>
<div x-show="active === 'overview'" class="rounded-lg border border-border bg-card p-4 text-card-foreground">
{{ __('A summary of your workspace.') }}
</div>
<div x-show="active === 'analytics'" x-cloak class="rounded-lg border border-border bg-card p-4 text-card-foreground">
{{ __('Charts and metrics live here.') }}
</div>
<div x-show="active === 'settings'" x-cloak class="rounded-lg border border-border bg-card p-4 text-card-foreground">
{{ __('Manage preferences.') }}
</div>
</x-ui.livewire-tabs>
Accessibility & localization
data-slot
Keyboard focus-visible
Localized labels
- Accessibility target: wcag-2.2-aa-target.
- Uses semantic HTML and a stable
data-slotattribute for styling/scripting hooks. - Focus-visible rings use the
ringtoken so keyboard focus is always visible. - Disabled and invalid states are conveyed to assistive tech, not by color alone.
- Targets WCAG 2.2 AA; verify contrast in light, dark, admin and customer surfaces above.
- Labels go through
__()and the component uses logical properties (ms-*,text-start,start-*) so it mirrors correctly — flip the preview to RTL to confirm.
