Loads data from local or remote data source into TabStrip.
| Param | Type | Details |
|---|---|---|
| data | Array | An array of tab objects from local or remote data source |
This method does not return a value.
You can use this method to load data on demand, updating the whole TabStrip in the process.
Supported in: v1.0.
In this example we are showing how to use loadData method to populate the TabStrip from remote data source. Data source in this case is a JSON file which contains a flat list of tab objects. Any existing tabs in TabStrip, will be automatically removed.
$(document).ready(function() {
// Create an instance of TabStrip widget
var $tab = $('#tabstrip').tabstrip({
expandDirection: 'right',
headerContentOrientation: 'vertical',
showExpandBox: false
});
// Use jQuery getJSON method to read the content of JSON file and then use loadData method to populate the TabStrip widget
$.getJSON("data.json", function(data){
$tab.tabstrip('loadData', data);
});
});
