Pull request overview

This PR updates Preview Tabs to default to the outlined variant (instead of filled) to align with the design spec, and adjusts Storybook documentation/examples to show how to opt into the filled styling.

Changes:

  • Changed useTabsModel default variant from 'filled' to 'outlined'.
  • Updated Storybook MDX content and example naming to present a “Filled Tabs” example (since outlined is now the default).
  • Updated TabsItem JSDoc default variant annotation to match the new default.

🔵 Needs a closer look

The Storybook OutlinedTabs story is now wired to render the filled-variant example, creating a docs/navigation mismatch.

Review details

modules/preview-react/tabs/stories/Tabs.stories.ts:10

  • FilledTabs is being imported under the name OutlinedTabsExample, but Tabs.stories.ts still exports an OutlinedTabs story that renders this import. That will make the "OutlinedTabs" story show the filled variant (and conflicts with the MDX section now titled "Filled Tabs"). Rename the story/export (and its render binding) to FilledTabs, or switch the story render back to an outlined/default example.
import {FilledTabs as OutlinedTabsExample} from './examples/FilledTabs';

🟡 Changes recommended

The Storybook “OutlinedTabs” story currently renders the filled example due to an import/alias mismatch, which is misleading and should be corrected before merge.

modules/preview-react/tabs/lib/TabsItem.tsx:87

  • The Tabs.Item implementation always sets variant={model.state.variant} (overriding any variant prop passed to Tabs.Item), so this JSDoc reads like a per-item prop with a default when it’s actually inherited from the parent Tabs/model. Updating the description will prevent consumers from thinking per-item overrides work.
  /**
   * The variant of the TabsItem.
   * @default 'outlined'
   */
  variant?: 'filled' | 'outlined';

🔵 Needs a closer look

There are a couple of small but concrete maintainability/documentation issues (duplicated defaulting logic and a misleading prop doc) that should be corrected before merging.

Review details

Suppressed comments (2)

Previously missed (1) — in code that hasn't changed since the last review.

modules/preview-react/tabs/lib/useTabsModel.tsx:97

  • createModelHook already applies defaultConfig at runtime, so config.variant should never be undefined here. Keeping a second fallback (|| 'outlined') duplicates the source of truth for the default and can drift from defaultConfig.variant/JSDoc over time.

modules/preview-react/tabs/lib/TabsItem.tsx:87

  • TabsItemProps exposes a variant prop, but Tabs.Item always overrides it with model.state.variant (see later in this file), so consumers can’t actually set it per item. The JSDoc should clarify that the value is inherited from the parent Tabs variant to avoid implying it’s independently configurable.
  /**
   * The variant of the TabsItem.
   * @default 'outlined'
   */
  variant?: 'filled' | 'outlined';

Do we want to note this change in the v16 upgrade guide, just for clarity?

Can we update the RTL story to specify a "filled" variant for one of the 2 Tabs, so that they are visually different?

Same for the visual testing story which only shows the outlined variant now.
