Material-UI's Tabs integration with react router 4?

Question

The new react-router syntax uses the Link component to move around the routes. But how could this be integrated with material-ui?

In my cas

Answer 1

My instructor helped me with using React Router 4.0's withRouter to wrap the Tabs component to enable history methods like so:

import React, {Component} from "react";
import {Tabs, Tab} from 'material-ui';
import { withRouter } from "react-router-dom";

import Home from "./Home";
import Portfolio from "./Portfolio";

class NavTabs extends Component {

 handleCallToRouter = (value) => {
   this.props.history.push(value);
 }

  render () {
     return (
      <Tabs
        value={this.props.history.location.pathname}
        onChange={this.handleCallToRouter}
        >
        <Tab
          label="Home"
          value="/"
        >
        <div>
           <Home />
        </div>
        </Tab>
        <Tab
          label="Portfolio"
          value="/portfolio"
            >
          <div>
            <Portfolio />
          </div>
        </Tab>
      </Tabs>           
    )
  }
}

export default withRouter(NavTabs)  

Simply add BrowserRouter to index.js and you're good to go.

I got it working this way in my app:

import React, {useEffect, useRef} from 'react';
import PropTypes from 'prop-types';
import {makeStyles} from '@material-ui/core/styles';
import AppBar from '@material-ui/core/AppBar';
import Tabs from '@material-ui/core/Tabs';
import Tab from '@material-ui/core/Tab';
import Typography from '@material-ui/core/Typography';
import Box from '@material-ui/core/Box';
import Container from "@material-ui/core/Container";
import {Link} from "react-router-dom";
import MenuIcon from "@material-ui/icons/Menu";
import VideoCallIcon from "@material-ui/icons/VideoCall";

const docStyles = makeStyles(theme => ({
    root: {
        display: 'flex',
        '& > * + *': {
            marginLeft: theme.spacing(2),
        },
    },
    appBarRoot: {
        flexGrow: 1,
    },
    headline: {
        marginTop: theme.spacing(2),
    },
    bodyCopy: {
        marginTop: theme.spacing(1),
        fontSize: '1.2rem',
    },
    tabContents: {
        margin: theme.spacing(3),
    },
}));

function TabPanel(props) {
    const {children, value, index, classes, ...other} = props;

    return (
        <div
            role="tabpanel"
            hidden={value !== index}
            id={`simple-tabpanel-${index}`}
            aria-labelledby={`simple-tab-${index}`}
            {...other}
        >
            {value === index && (
                <Container>
                    <Box className={classes.tabContents}>
                        {children}
                    </Box>
                </Container>
            )}
        </div>
    );
}

function a11yProps(index) {
    return {
        id: `simple-tab-${index}`,
        'aria-controls': `simple-tabpanel-${index}`,
    };
}

function TabOneContents(props) {
    const {classes} = props;
    return (
        <>
            <Typography variant="h4" component={'h1'} className={classes.headline}>
                Headline 1
            </Typography>

            <Typography variant="body1" className={classes.bodyCopy}>
                Body Copy 1
            </Typography>
        </>
    )
}

function TabTwoContents(props) {
    const {classes} = props;
    const nurseOnboardingPath = '/navigator/onboarding/' + Meteor.userId() + '/1';

    return (
        <>
            <Typography variant="h4" component={'h1'} className={classes.headline}>
                Headline 2
            </Typography>

            <Typography variant="body1" className={classes.bodyCopy}>
                Body Copy 2
            </Typography>
        </>
    )
}

export default function MUITabPlusReactRouterDemo(props) {
    const {history, match} = props;
    const propsForDynamicClasses = {};
    const classes = docStyles(propsForDynamicClasses);
    const [value, setValue] = React.useState(history.location.pathname.includes('/tab_2') ? 1 : 0);

    const handleChange = (event, newValue) => {
        setValue(newValue);
        const pathName = '/' + (value == 0 ? 'tab_1' : 'tab_2');
        history.push(pathName);
    };


    return (
        <div className={classes.appBarRoot}>
            <AppBar position="static" color="transparent">
                <Tabs value={value} onChange={handleChange} aria-label="How It Works" textColor="primary">
                    <Tab label="Tab 1" {...a11yProps(0)} />
                    <Tab label="Tab 2" {...a11yProps(1)} />
                </Tabs>
            </AppBar>
            <TabPanel value={value} index={0} classes={classes}>
                <TabOneContents classes={classes}/>
            </TabPanel>
            <TabPanel value={value} index={1} classes={classes}>
                <TabTwoContents classes={classes}/>
            </TabPanel>
        </div>
    );
}

...and in React Router:

[.....]
<Route exact path="/tab_1"
       render={(routeProps) =>
           <MUITabPlusReactRouterDemo history={routeProps.history}
           />
       }/>

<Route exact path="/tab_2"
       render={(routeProps) =>
           <MUITabPlusReactRouterDemo history={routeProps.history}                           />
       }/>
[.....]

Another solution (https://codesandbox.io/s/l4yo482pll) with no handlers nor HOCs, just pure react-router and material-ui components:

import React, { Fragment } from "react";
import ReactDOM from "react-dom";
import Tabs from "@material-ui/core/Tabs";
import Tab from "@material-ui/core/Tab";
import { Switch, Route, Link, BrowserRouter, Redirect } from "react-router-dom";

function App() {
  const allTabs = ['/', '/tab2', '/tab3'];

  return (
    <BrowserRouter>
      <div className="App">
        <Route
          path="/"
          render={({ location }) => (
            <Fragment>
              <Tabs value={location.pathname}>
                <Tab label="Item One" value="/" component={Link} to={allTabs[0]} />
                <Tab label="Item Two" value="/tab2" component={Link} to={allTabs[1]} />
                <Tab
                  value="/tab3"
                  label="Item Three"
                  component={Link}
                  to={allTabs[2]}
                />
              </Tabs>
              <Switch>
                <Route path={allTabs[1]} render={() => <div>Tab 2</div>} />
                <Route path={allTabs[2]} render={() => <div>Tab 3</div>} />
                <Route path={allTabs[0]} render={() => <div>Tab 1</div>} />
              </Switch>
            </Fragment>
          )}
        />
      </div>
    </BrowserRouter>
  );
}

const rootElement = document.getElementById("root");
ReactDOM.render(<App />, rootElement);

As @gkatchmar says you can use withRouter high-order component but you can also use context API. Since @gkatchmar showed withRouter already I will only show context API. Bear in mind that this is an experimental API.

https://stackoverflow.com/a/42716055/3850405

import React, {Component} from "react";
import {Tabs, Tab} from 'material-ui';
import * as PropTypes from "prop-types";

export class NavTabs extends Component {
constructor(props) {
 super(props);
}

static contextTypes = {
    router: PropTypes.object
}

handleChange = (event: any , value: any) => {
    this.context.router.history.push(value);
};

  render () {
     return (
      <Tabs
        value={this.context.router.history.location.pathname}
        onChange={this.handleChange}
        >
        <Tab
          label="Home"
          value="/"
        >
        <div>
           <Home />
        </div>
        </Tab>
        <Tab
          label="Portfolio"
          value="/portfolio"
            >
          <div>
            <Portfolio />

        </Tab>
      </Tabs>           
    )
  }

Here's another solution, using the beta of Material 1.0 and adding browser Back/Forward to the mix:

import React from 'react';
import PropTypes from 'prop-types';
import { withStyles } from 'material-ui/styles';
import AppBar from 'material-ui/AppBar';
import Tabs, { Tab } from 'material-ui/Tabs';
import { withRouter } from "react-router-dom";
import Home from "./Home";
import Portfolio from "./Portfolio";

function TabContainer(props) {
  return <div style={{ padding: 20 }}>{props.children}</div>;
}

const styles = theme => ({
  root: {
    flexGrow: 1,
    width: '100%',
    marginTop: theme.spacing.unit * 3,
    backgroundColor: theme.palette.background.paper,
  },
});

class NavTabs extends React.Component {
  state = {
    value: "/",
  };

  componentDidMount() {
    window.onpopstate = ()=> {
      this.setState({
        value: this.props.history.location.pathname
      });
  }
}

  handleChange = (event, value) => {
    this.setState({ value });
    this.props.history.push(value);
  };

  render() {
    const { classes } = this.props;
    const { value } = this.state;

    return (
      <div className={classes.root}>
        <AppBar position="static" color="default">
          <Tabs
            value={value}
            onChange={this.handleChange}
            scrollable
            scrollButtons="on"
            indicatorColor="primary"
            textColor="primary"
          >
            <Tab label="Home" value = "/" />
            <Tab label="Portfolio" value = "/portfolio"/>
          </Tabs>
        </AppBar>
        {value === "/" && <TabContainer>{<Home />}</TabContainer>}
        {value === "/portfolio" && <TabContainer>{<Portfolio />}</TabContainer>}
      </div>
    );
  }
}

NavTabs.propTypes = {
  classes: PropTypes.object.isRequired,
};

export default withRouter(withStyles(styles)(NavTabs));
