Measured entry

tripled-animated-tabs-shadcnui

tabsminimal-flatmotion on file

A client-side tab panel shipped as a shadcn registry component. It composes the project tabs primitive with React state and Framer Motion for a spring-driven active indicator and content transitions, while relying on Tailwind utilities, the shadcn import alias, and a card background theme token.

Verdict

A tidy animated tab treatment with a clean verified render, but it needs a shadcn-style setup and is not drop-in for a bare React app. Use it when its fixed geometry matches the layout; otherwise expect responsive and indicator-sizing work.

Use it if

  • Your app already uses shadcn tabs and you want a compact animated settings switcher.
  • The tab labels and panel can live in a fixed-width desktop or tablet layout.
  • You are comfortable tuning the motion and theme token to match your design system.

Skip it if

  • The component must fit narrow screens without responsive changes, since the supplied layout overflows there.
  • Your tabs have dynamic labels or counts, because the indicator position and width are hard-coded.
  • You want to avoid Framer Motion's added client bundle cost for a small interaction.
  • Your project does not use Tailwind or shadcn-style aliases and you do not want to recreate that plumbing.

In a non-shadcn project, add React and Framer Motion, a Radix-backed tabs primitive, the shadcn utility helper at the expected import alias, Tailwind styling, and the card background theme token. Configure the alias or rewrite the imports, then make the container and indicator sizing responsive.
