I am working with an array of tabs and encountering a layout issue. The tabs need to share the available space when there's more than one tab, but when there's only one tab, it should be positioned in the middle of the column. How can I address this problem while using flex? Here is my current code:
import type { ReactElement } from 'react';
import { useState } from 'react';
import { Box, Tab, Typography, useMediaQuery, useTheme } from '@mui/material';
import Tabs, { tabsClasses } from '@mui/material/Tabs';
const MOCK_TAB_VALUES = [
{ month: 'August 2023', date: '20.08.2023' },
// Additional tab objects commented out for brevity
];
export const FormTabComponent = (): ReactElement => {
const [value, setValue] = useState <number>(0);
const theme = useTheme();
const isLargeScreen = useMediaQuery(theme.breakpoints.up('lg'));
const handleTabChange = (event, newValue) => {
setValue(newValue);
};
const isDarkMode = theme.palette.mode === 'dark';
return (
<Tabs
sx={{
// Styling properties here
}}
value={value}
variant="scrollable"
onChange={handleTabChange}
>
{MOCK_TAB_VALUES.map((tab, index) => (
<Tab
key={index}
sx={{ flex:1 }}
label={(
<Box
sx={{
display: 'flex',
flexDirection: 'column',
}}
>
<Typography
variant={isLargeScreen ? 'headings.h4' : 'buttons.small'}
color="inherit"
>
{`${tab.month.slice(0, 3)} ${tab.month.slice(-4)`}
</Typography>
<Typography variant="captions.default" color="inherit">
{tab.date}
</Typography>
</Box>
)}
/>
))}
</Tabs>
);
};
The screenshot shows that the single tab is not centered within the grid. https://i.sstatic.net/oYMGX.png
