Vue Tabs / Multi-View Switcher

By FrontendAtlas Team · Updated Jan 30, 2026

Implement Vue 3 tabs using a single activeTab state. Buttons update the active tab, and conditional rendering shows one panel at a time. Include clear active styles and keyboard-friendly button semantics. Concepts: vue, components, reactivity. Vue focus: keep activeTab in a ref and render with…

  • Render a tabbed UI with three tabs labeled "Overview", "Details", and "Settings".
  • Track which tab is currently active and visually highlight it.

What you’ll build / What this tests

This premium vue coding focuses on Vue Tabs / Multi-View Switcher. You’ll apply vue and components thinking with easy level constraints. The prompt emphasizes Implement Vue 3 tabs using a single activeTab state. Buttons update the active tab, and conditional….

Learning goals

  • Translate the prompt into a clear vue API signature and return shape.
  • Apply vue, components, reactivity techniques to implement vue tabs / multi-view switcher.
  • Handle easy edge cases without sacrificing readability.
  • Reason about time/space complexity and trade-offs in vue.

Key decisions to discuss

  • Define the exact input/output contract before coding.
  • Prioritize predictable edge-case handling over micro-optimizations.

Evaluation rubric

  • Correctness: covers required behaviors and edge cases.
  • Clarity: readable structure and predictable control flow.
  • Complexity: avoids unnecessary work for large inputs.
  • API discipline: no mutation of inputs; returns expected shape.
  • Testability: solution is easy to unit test.

Constraints / Requirements

  • Render a tabbed UI with three tabs labeled "Overview", "Details", and "Settings".
  • Track which tab is currently active and visually highlight it.
  • Render only the active tab's content at a time.
  • The initial active tab should be "Overview".
  • Clicking a tab makes it the active tab.
  • Only the active tab's panel is visible at any time.
  • The active tab button has a distinct visual style (e.g., filled pill) compared to inactive ones.
  • Use Vue 3's Composition API with ref to store the currently active tab.
  • Model the tab id as a string union (e.g., 'overview' | 'details' | 'settings').
  • Use a helper function like isActive(tab) to drive both active styles and conditional rendering.

Mini snippet (usage only)

// Example usage
const input = /* vue tabs / multi-view switcher input */;
const result = solve(input);
console.log(result);

// Edge case check
const empty = input ?? null;
const fallback = solve(input);
console.log(fallback);

// Expected: describe output shape, not the implementation
// (no solution code in preview)

Common pitfalls

  • Mutating inputs instead of returning a new value.
  • Skipping edge cases like empty input, duplicates, or nulls.
  • Overlooking time complexity for large inputs.
