Tabs make it easy to switch between different views.
### When To Use
Ant Design has 3 types of Tabs for different situations.
- Card Tabs: for managing too many closeable views.
- Normal Tabs: for functional aspects of a page.
- [Radio.Button ](/components/radio/#components-radio-demo-radiobutton ): for secondary tabs.
### Usage upgrade after 4.23.0
< Alert message = "After version 4.23.0, we provide a simpler usage <Tabs items={[...]} /> with better performance and potential of writing simpler code style in your applications. Meanwhile, we deprecated the old usage in browser console, we will remove it in antd 5.0." > < / Alert >
```jsx
// works when >=4.23.0, recommended ✅
const items = [
{ label: 'Tab 1', key: 'item-1', children: 'Content 1' }, // remember to pass the key prop
{ label: 'Tab 2', key: 'item-2', children: 'Content 2' },
];
return < Tabs items = {items} / > ;
// works when < 4.23.0 , deprecated when > =4.23.0 🙅🏻♀️
< Tabs >
< Tabs.TabPane tab = "Tab 1" key = "item-1" >
Content 1
< / Tabs.TabPane >
< Tabs.TabPane tab = "Tab 2" key = "item-2" >
Content 2
< / Tabs.TabPane >
< / Tabs > ;
```
