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

 <BrowserRouter>
<div className={classes.root}>
  <AppBar position="static" color="default">
    <Tabs
      value={this.state.value}
      onChange={this.handleChange}
      indicatorColor="primary"
      textColor="primary"
      fullWidth
    >
      <Tab label="Item One" component={Link} to="/one" />
      <Tab label="Item Two" component={Link} to="/two" />
    </Tabs>
  </AppBar>

  <Switch>
    <Route path="/one" component={PageShell(ItemOne)} />
    <Route path="/two" component={PageShell(ItemTwo)} />
  </Switch>
</div>

The error you are seeing from material-ui is because it expects to have a <Tab> component rendered as direct child of <Tabs> component.

Now, here is a way that I've found to integrate the link into the <Tabs> component without loosing the styles:

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

export default class MyComponent extends Component {
    render() {
        const {location} = this.props;
        const {pathname} = location;

        return (
            <Tabs value={pathname}>
                <Tab label="First tab" containerElement={<Link to="/my-firs-tab-view" />} value="/my-firs-tab-view">
                    {/* insert your component to be rendered inside the tab here */}
                </Tab>
                <Tab label="Second tab" containerElement={<Link to="/my-second-tab-view" />} value="/my-second-tab-view">
                    {/* insert your component to be rendered inside the tab here */}
                </Tab>
            </Tabs>
        );
    }
}

To manage the 'active' property for the tabs, you can use the value property in the <Tabs> component and you also need to have a value property for each tab, so when both of the properties match, it will apply the active style to that tab.

You can use browserHistory instead of React-Router Link component

import { browserHistory } from 'react-router'

// Go to /some/path.
onClick(label) {
  browserHistory.push('/${label}');
}

// Example for Go back
//browserHistory.goBack()

<Tabs>
  <Tab
    label={label}
    onActive={() => onClick(label)}
  />
</Tabs>

As you see you can simply push() your target to the browserHistory
