Morphing Tabs

Tabs you can drag or move with the keyboard to reorder, where the selected tab stretches into the content panel itself, the active shape slides as tabs trade places, and an optional close button sits on every tab.

Install

Add it with the shadcn CLI, or copy the source manually.

$ bunx --bun shadcn add @karaui/morphing-tabs
@karaui not found? Add it to components.json
{
  "registries": {
    "@karaui": "https://karaui.kamisama-v0.my.id/r/{name}.json"
  }
}

@karaui is in shadcn's public registry directory, so the latest CLI needs no setup. On an older CLI, merge this into the existing file once and every @karaui/… install resolves.

Some components on this site are inspired by or recreated from existing work across the web. I'm not here to take credit; just to learn, experiment, and sometimes push things a bit further. If something looks familiar and I forgot to mention you, reach out and I'll fix that right away.
