how to set tab on js tabs stimulus controller from rails query parameter

Hi, the tab_controller.js isn't inside the javascript folder and I would like to get the current open tab in from a query parameter and pass it from the rails controller to the js tab controller so that a tab remains open through refreshes. Is there a way to do this now, or do I need to write my own stimulus tab_controller.js?

Hey  Roberto Plancarte

It's in https://github.com/excid3/tailwindcss-stimulus-components#tabs

You can set the data-tabs-index="1" attribute in the HTML so it will select the tab you want by default.

although this seems a bit out of date (from 2019), specifically you would put this

data-tabs-index="1"

on the line that has the stimulus controller

data-controller="tabs"

with a value corresponding to the 0-th based tab. so above, the value of 1 indicates you want the second tab to be active by default.

thx
