Tabbar

Interactive preview

Rendered from the shared Frontfriend stories with React Base, the same preview Studio shows. Styling comes from your Design System; the code below is native to Base UI.

Installation

Complete project setup first. Your configuration must select react/base and include your Design System ID.

pnpm exec frontfriend download tab-bar -f react --primitive base

Review dependencies reported by the downloader and keep your source changes in version control.
