How to Add Route Links to Material UI Tabs in React Typescript

When building a modern web application, effective navigation is key to providing an intuitive user experience. If you’re using Material UI tabs in your React TypeScript project, you may want to make it possible for users to navigate between different tab sections using URL routes. In this guide, we will discuss how to achieve this, making it easy for users to switch between tabs while also managing the URL state in the browser.

Overview of the Problem

In a typical React application using Material UI, tabs can be ignored when it comes to routing, which means users can't directly navigate to a tab by entering a URL into the browser. For instance, if you wanted to visit a tab for "Item Two" directly via the URL /home/item2, it should ideally open that tab by default. In this guide, you’ll learn how to implement routing for Material UI tabs using React Router and TypeScript.

Solution Breakdown

To effectively route Material UI tabs, we will break down our solution into two main parts: configuring tab links and synchronizing the tab state with the URL.

1. Configure Tab Links

To begin, you can set each Tab element to render as a Link using the component prop. This allows you to specify the route the tab should link to.

Here’s an example of how to modify your Tab components:

In this code snippet, changing the Tab components to utilize the Link component allows them to handle routing automatically. When a user clicks on a tab, the URL will update without a full page reload.

2. Synchronize Tab State with URL

To ensure the correct tab is displayed based on the URL, you need to synchronize the state of your tabs with the current route. You can achieve this using the useLocation hook from React Router.

First, import useLocation at the top of your file:

Next, modify the way you set the initial state of the value:

You will need to implement the figureOutSelectedIndex function to determine which tab corresponds to the current URL. Here’s an illustrative example of how it might look:

Finalizing the Implementation

After implementing the above steps, your SimpleTabs component should resemble the following code:

Conclusion

With these straightforward steps, you've successfully set up route links for Material UI tabs in your React TypeScript application! Not only do these tabs enhance user interaction, but they also allow users to bookmark specific sections of your application for easy access in the future. As a best practice, always ensure that your app's routing aligns seamlessly with its user interface components to provide a smooth user experience.

Feel free to modify this example to fit the structure of your own application, and happy coding!
