# TabBar

Tabs organize and allow navigation between groups of content that are related and at the same level of hierarchy. Each tab should contain content that is distinct from other tabs in a set.

[Styleguide Link](https://app.zeplin.io/styleguide/6041aec8159a9b10c34d0182/components?cseid=608799eab9983f179fba44d4)

* Child: [Tab](/core/overview/tab.md)

* **Off** (Fixed) - The width of the tabs are fixed (depending on the number of tabs) and there is NO horizontal scrolling of the tabs.
* **On** (Scroll) - The width of a tab is set based on its content and tabs can scroll off the side of the screen horizontally.

* Base: This uses the default Mode (Light) for the tab bar. If the devices mode were to be changed in the settings or by the device settings this would also change to reflect that setting.
* Dark Lock: This locks the background color to a darker tint.  This is useful for areas of the app like the camera where we want to keep the tab bar in a darker mode no matter the settings of the app or device.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://able.bucca.com/core/components/tab-bar.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
