SegmentedControl.
A compact way to choose a view.
Live preview
import { SegmentedControl } from "luminescent";
import "luminescent/style.css";
export function Example() {
return (
<SegmentedControl
tabs={["Design", "Develop", "Deploy"]}
defaultActiveTab="Design"
aria-label="Workflow"
/>
);
}
Installation
npm install luminescent
Import luminescent/style.css once at your application root. The example above uses the same package implementation as Storybook.
Variants and states
Use the preview controls to explore the supported variants, sizes, disabled/loading states and reduced motion. Controls appear only where the component exposes the corresponding prop. Theme and glow apply to every component.
Controlled and uncontrolled state
State contract: value (or activeTab) / defaultActiveTab / onChange. Omit the controlled prop to let the component own its initial state; supply a value and callback when your application owns it. Native uncontrolled fields and state-backed form controls participate in form reset. Controlled state must be reset by the application.
import { useState } from "react";
import { SegmentedControl } from "luminescent";
export function ControlledExample() {
const [value, setValue] = useState("Design");
return (
<SegmentedControl
aria-label="Workflow"
tabs={["Design", "Develop", "Deploy"]}
value={value}
onChange={setValue}
/>
);
}
API reference
Generated from the source TypeScript interfaces. Native attributes, className, style, aria-* and data-* also pass through to the documented element. Import SegmentedControlProps from the package for the full inherited contract.
| Prop | Type | Details |
|---|---|---|
tabsrequired | string[] | Legacy name for selection options, unrelated to tab panels. |
defaultActiveTab | string | Optional unless marked required. |
activeTab | string | Optional unless marked required. |
Accessibility and keyboard
A native radio selection group with arrow keys. Legacy tabs is the options prop name; it does not describe tab panels. Use Tabs when choices reveal associated panels.
Keep labels meaningful and test application-level contrast, focus order and screen-reader output. See the accessibility guide for composition requirements.
Theme customization
import { LuminescentProvider, SegmentedControl } from "luminescent";
import "luminescent/style.css";
export function Example() {
return (
<LuminescentProvider theme="light" accent="violet" glow="subtle">
<SegmentedControl
tabs={["Design", "Develop", "Deploy"]}
defaultActiveTab="Design"
aria-label="Workflow"
/>
</LuminescentProvider>
);
}
Switch between light and dark in the preview, or open the playground for a larger workspace. Custom CSS variables can override spacing, color, typography and effects.
