Tab Layout
The Tab Layout app provides you the needed structure to create different layouts within the store's main one from the use of tabs.
Example of an brazilian VTEX store with tabs (
Perfumes até 40%off
, Presentes
, and Best Sellers
) displaying different content for users.
Configuration
- Add the Tab Layout app to your theme's dependencies in the
manifest.json
file:
_10 "dependencies": {_10+ "vtex.tab-layout": "0.x"_10 }
Now, you are able to use all the blocks exported by the tab-layout
app. Check out the full list below:
Block name | Description |

tab-layout | for the layout structure, declaring the desired list of tabs and its content. |
tab-list | Defines the list of tabs to be rendered. It only accepts the tab-list.item block as child. |
tab-list.item | Defines the rendering for a given tab. Notice that it does not define the tab content, which is handled by the tab-content.item block. |
tab-list.item.children | Flexible alternative to tab-list.item . Defines the rendering for a given tab and also accepts any array of blocks as its children. |
tab-content | Defines the list of content to be rendered in each tab. It only accepts the tab-content.item block as child. |
tab-content.item | Defines the content for a given tab. |
- In the desired page tempate, such as
store.home
, add thetab-layout
block:
_10"store.home": {_10 "blocks": [_10 "tab-layout#home"_10 ]_10},
- Declare the
tab-list
and thetab-content
blocks astab-layout
