Component
Tabs
Drop-in replacement for shadcn's tabs. Adds an indicator that slides between tabs instead of jumping. Same exports, same props.

The line variant slides too.
Install
This replaces shadcn's tabs.
Installing overwrites components/ui/tabs.tsx in your project. The exports and prop types are identical, so your imports and JSX keep working — verified against shadcn CLI 4.21.0. Commit your work first, and re-check this page before upgrading shadcn.
