Flat Animated Tabs Plugin For jQuery - PWS Tabs

PWS Tabs is a lightweight jQuery tabs plugin to create flat style tabbed content panels with some cool transition effects powered by CSS3 animations.

Basic usage:

1. Load the jQuery PWS Tabs plugin and jQuery library in your Html page.

<link href="jquery.pwstabs.css" rel="stylesheet">

<script src="//ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.11.2/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script src="jquery.pwstabs.js"></script>

2. Create tabbed panels and use Html5 data-pws-* attributes to specify the ID & Name for the tabs.

<div class="demo">

  <div data-pws-tab="tab1" data-pws-tab-name="Tab 1">
    Tabbed Panel 1
  </div>
  
  <div data-pws-tab="tab2" data-pws-tab-name="Tab 2">
    Tabbed Panel 2
  </div>
  
  <div data-pws-tab="tab3" data-pws-tab-name="Tab 3"> 
    Tabbed Panel 3
  </div>
  
</div>

3. Call the plugin on the parent element to create a basic tabs interface with 100% width and 'scale' transition effect.

$('.demo').pwstabs();

4. Available parameters to customize the tabs plugin.

$('.demo').pwstabs({

// scale / slideleft / slideright / slidetop / slidedown / none
effect: 'scale', 

// The tab to be opened by default
defaultTab: 1,    

// Set custom container width
// Any size value (1,2,3.. / px,pt,em,%,cm..)
containerWidth: '100%',

// Tabs position: horizontal / vertical
tabsPosition: 'horizontal',

// Tabs horizontal position: top / bottom
horizontalPosition: 'top',

// Tabs vertical position: left / right
verticalPosition: 'left',

// BETA: Make tabs container responsive: true / false (!!! BETA)
responsive: false,

// Themes available: default: '' / pws_theme_violet / pws_theme_green / pws_theme_yellow
// pws_theme_gold / pws_theme_orange / pws_theme_red / pws_theme_purple / pws_theme_grey
theme: '',

// Right to left support: true/ false
rtl: false,

// callback functions.
onBeforeFirstInit: function ()
{},
onAfterFirstInit: function ()
{},
onBeforeInit: function ()
{},
onAfterInit: function ()
{},
onBeforeChange: function ()
{},
onAfterChange: function ()
{}                       

});

5. API methods.

// destroy the plugin
$('.demo').pwstabs('destroy');

// add a new tab
$('.demo').pwstabs('addTab', {
  id: 'tab4',
  name: 'Tab name',
  icon: 'fa-phone',
  content: 'This is the content for tab number four'
});

// remove a specific tab
$('.demo').pwstabs('removeTab', 2);
