Tabs are common UI patterns for organizing content. Learn how to extract tab information, identify active tabs, and navigate between them.
from askui import VisionAgent, ResponseSchemaBase
from typing import List
class Tab(ResponseSchemaBase):
name: List[str]
active: bool
class TabBar(ResponseSchemaBase):
tabs: List[Tab]
with VisionAgent() as agent:
agent.tools.webbrowser.open_new("http://docs.askui.com")
agent.wait(3) # Wait for page to load
result = agent.get("Can you extract me the tabs?", response_schema=TabBar)
print(result.model_dump_json(indent=2))
Best Practices
-
Handle Dynamic Tabs: Some applications add/remove tabs dynamically
initial_tabs = agent.get("How many tabs are there?", response_schema=int)
# After some action
agent.click("Add new tab")
new_tab_count = agent.get("How many tabs are there?", response_schema=int)
assert new_tab_count == initial_tabs + 1
-
Tab Loading States: Wait for tab content to load
agent.click("Click on Data tab")
# Wait for content
content_loaded = False
for _ in range(10): # Timeout after 10 attempts
content_loaded = agent.get(
"Is the tab content fully loaded?",
response_schema=bool
)
if content_loaded:
break
agent.wait(1)
-
Keyboard Navigation: Some tab interfaces support keyboard navigation
# Use keyboard shortcuts for tab navigation
agent.key("Ctrl+Tab") # Next tab
agent.key("Ctrl+Shift+Tab") # Previous tab
