Tabbed Application Mode

This add-on allows you to open views in separate tabs within the main view, allowing users to simultaneously access multiple views and switch between them easily. It also supports opening multiple views within the same tab, creating a view stack represented by breadcrumbs.

For manual installation:

  1. Add the following dependency to your build.gradle:

    implementation 'io.jmix.tabbedmode:jmix-tabbedmode-flowui-starter'

  2. Change base class of the MainView.java from StandardMainView to StandardTabbedModeMainView.

    import io.jmix.tabbedmode.app.main.StandardTabbedModeMainView;

@Route("")
@ViewController(id = "MainView")
@ViewDescriptor(path = "main-view.xml")
public class MainView extends StandardTabbedModeMainView {
}

  3. In the main-view.xml, wrap initialLayout into workArea:

    <workArea id="workArea"
          classNames="jmix-work-area">
    <initialLayout width="100%" height="100%"/>
</workArea>
