Hash Tabs 
URL-sensitive and hash-friendly tab plugin for jQuery
Getting Started
Download the production version or the development version.
First, install the package using bower:
bower install hash-tabs --save Then, in your web page:
<script src="/bower_components/jquery/dist/jquery.min.js"></script> <script src="/bower_components/hash-tabs/dist/jquery.hash-tabs.min.js"></script> <script> jQuery(function($) { $(".myTabContainer").hashTabs(); // "create hash tabs off of all elements with class myTabContainer" }); </script>Features
- Hash-friendly URLs, so your states are saved. Try refreshing!
- Compatible with IE8 and up
- Customizable and configurable. Use custom selectors for your tabs. Default uses
navandsectionelements noscript-friendly. Works very will in non-javascript browsers. When tabs can't be loaded, content feels like normal, as hashes are supported natively by the browser.- Customizable SASS styles, ready to go with my sass boilerplate
- Bootstrap-free! But you can still use bootstrap if you really want to

Trigger A Given Tab
(AKA trigger tab by id)
$(".myTabs").hashTabs("triggerTab", "chocolates") // triggers tab with id #chocolates Trigger A Given Tab by Index
$(".myTabs").hashTabs("triggerTabByIndex", 1) // triggers second tab (with index 1) in tab set Trigger Next Tab (to Right)
$(".myTabs").hashTabs("selectNext") // triggers right-most tab to current tab Trigger Previous Tab (to Left)
$(".myTabs").hashTabs("selectPrevious") // triggers left-most tab to current tab NOTE: tabs will cycle in a clockwise direction. For example, if you are on the last tab to the right, selecting next will fold back over to the first tab (0) to the left
Contributing
First, make sure to install all bower dependencies:
bower install Next, install node dependencies:
npm install Building
Currently, I am using the built-in grunt settings which ship with the yeoman generator I used.
Unit Tests
Unit tests are written using qunit. A js test driver configuration is also included for in-IDE testing (can use PHPStorm), but tests can also be run from the test/hash-tabs.html file.
