Vertical Tabs in TabStrip Component
In most cases, tabs are placed on top side with horizontal orientation. The TabsStrip component has a built-in option that allows you to display tabs vertically. Vertical tabs are usually better to appear when tabs are placed on left or right side. This is useful in cases when tab title is longer than usual, so instead of horizontal orientation you can place them vertically.
