The following options are available:
Collapsible
If set to 'true' the panels are collapsible. The values 'tabs' and 'accordion' can be used to make the panels collapsible in a specific view/state. If a tab is active and you select it again, the panel will collapse.
collapsible: false // The panels are not collapsible collapsible: true // The panels are collapsible collapsible: 'tabs' // The panels are only collapsible if the view is currently tab based collapsible: 'accordion' // The panels are only collapsible if the view is currently accordion based
Start collapsed
This option defines if the first panel on load starts collapsed or not. With the values 'tabs' and 'accordion' you can specify in which view the tabs are supposed to start collapsed.
startCollapsed: false // Do not collapse on start startCollapsed: true // Start with the panels collapsed startCollapsed: 'tabs' // Start with the panels collapsed if the view is currently tab based startCollapsed: 'accordion' // Start with the panels collapsed if the view is currently accordion based
Disabled tabs
An array with zero based integers that define the tabs that should be disabled
disabled: [0,2] // Disables the first and third tab
