ion-tab

shadow

The tab component is a child component of tabs. Each tab can contain a top level navigation stack for an app or a single view. An app can have many tabs, all with their own independent navigation.

note

Angular, React, and Vue can only use this component when the ion-tabs component is configured for basic usage. When setting up tabs with routing, the ion-tab component cannot be used.

In JavaScript, this component can be used with the ion-tabs component configured for either basic usage or usage with router.

See the tabs documentation for more details on configuring tabs.
