The following sample code shows how to define customized attributes in the Item object:

      {
        title: 'tab 3',
        content: 'tab 3 content'
      }
    ]
  }
})

.axml

copy
<ant-tabs items="{{items}}">
  <view slot="title" slot-scope="tab">
    {{ tab.index }}：{{ tab.value.title }}，{{ tab.value.content }}
  </view>
</ant-tabs>

FAQ

How can I trigger the onChange callback when the current active tab is clicked?

To trigger the onChange callback upon clicking the current active tab, you can use the onTap event on the tab's view element. See the following sample code for details:

Set the onTap events for the click events of the current active tab in the AXML file:

copy
<ant-tabs items="{{items}}" onChange="onChange">
  <view slot="title" slot-scope="tab" data-index="{{tab.index}}" onTap="onTap">
    {{ tab.value.title }}
  </view>
</ant-tabs>

Call the onChange method within the event handler in the JS file:

copy
Page({
  onChange(index) {
    console.log(index)
  },
  onTap(e) {
    const { index } = e.currentTarget.dataset
  }
})
