How to Display Content Underneath Tabs in Angular Without Redirecting to a New Page

In modern web applications, user experience is paramount. One common navigation pattern is using tabs to organize content. However, many developers struggle with displaying content underneath these tabs without redirecting users to a new page. This guide will guide you through the solution to this problem using Angular's powerful routing capabilities.

The Problem: Navigating Away Instead of Displaying Content

You may have encountered a scenario in your Angular application where clicking on a tab directed you to a new page. This behavior can be frustrating for users who expect to see content change dynamically under a selected tab rather than navigating away entirely.

Example Scenario

Imagine you have a tab set up in your Angular app like this:

In this setup, clicking the tab takes the user to a new route, which is not the intended functionality. Instead, you want to display relevant data right underneath the tab without changing the page.

The Solution: Using router-outlet Correctly

To achieve the desired functionality, you can leverage Angular’s router-outlet to embed different components directly within your tab content area. Here’s how to modify your existing code to implement this solution.

Step 1: Update the HTML Structure

Change your tab setup to include the router-outlet component within the tab content:

Conclusion

By following these steps, you can effectively utilize Angular’s routing system to display content underneath tabs, enhancing user experience without the inconvenience of redirection. Leveraging router-outlet in tab content is a powerful technique that keeps your users engaged with seamless navigation.

So, the next time you want to organize content cleanly under tabs in your Angular application, remember this approach!
