Description

Hello,

I am using react-tabs with with success in my app.
In some places though, I use it with no panel at all. In that case, it is used to change a property on another component.

Stripped down example to illustrate:

const [page, setPage] = useState(0);

<Tabs selectedIndex={page} onSelect={setPage}>
    <TabList>{ /* one Tab per page here */ }</TabList>
</Tab>
<DocumentView url={url} page={page} />

This works perfectly.

However, react-tabs complains that

There should be an equal number of 'Tab' and 'TabPanel' in Tabs

It then continues happily and everything works fine.

  • Do you see any issue with this use case?
  • If not, would it be possible to silence that warning when the number of TabPanels is exactly 0?

Start by locating the Tabs validation that emits the equal-number warning described in the issue. Check how it handles a TabPanel count of zero, then update the behavior so the warning is silenced only for that case and verify that other count mismatches still warn.
