   Key features:
   
   
   - Automatic tab panel management via slotted ``hoops-tab`` elements
   - Keyboard navigation with arrow keys (Left/Right for horizontal, Up/Down for vertical)
   - Home and End key support for first/last tab navigation
   - ARIA-compliant accessibility with proper roles and attributes
   - Customizable tab positioning (top, bottom, left, right)
   - CSS custom properties for theming
   - Support for disabled tabs
   - Selection by index or by value

      .. rst-class:: sig-pretty-signature
      
         | styles: *CSSResult*\ []
      
      Array of styles to apply to the element. The styles should be defined using the ? tag function, via constructible stylesheets, or imported from native CSS module scripts.
      
      Note on Content Security Policy:
      
      Element styles are implemented with ``<style>`` tags when the browser doesn't support adopted StyleSheets. To use such ``<style>`` tags with the style-src CSP directive, the style-src value must either include 'unsafe-inline' or ``nonce-<base64-value>`` with ``<base64-value>`` replaced be a server-generated nonce.
      
      To provide a nonce to use on generated ``<style>`` elements, set ``window.litNonce`` to a server-generated nonce in your page's HTML, before loading application code:
      
      .. code-block:: html
      
         <script>
           // Generated and unique per request:
           window.litNonce = 'a1b2c3d4';
         </script>
      



.. js:data:: ui.tabs.HoopsTabsElement.position

      .. rst-class:: sig-pretty-signature
      
         | position: (*"left"* | *"right"* | *"top"* | *"bottom"*\ )
      
      Position of the tab headers relative to the content.
      



.. js:data:: ui.tabs.HoopsTabsElement.selectedIndex

      .. rst-class:: sig-pretty-signature
      
         | selectedIndex: *number*
      
      The index of the currently selected tab.

.. js:method:: ui.tabs.HoopsTabsElement.connectedCallback

      .. rst-class:: sig-pretty-signature
      
         | connectedCallback(): *void*
      
      Invoked when the component is added to the document's DOM.
      
      In ``connectedCallback()`` you should setup tasks that should only occur when the element is connected to the document. The most common of these is adding event listeners to nodes external to the element, like a keydown event handler added to the window.
      
      .. code-block:: ts
      
         connectedCallback() {
           super.connectedCallback();
           addEventListener('keydown', this._handleKeydown);
         }
      
      Typically, anything done in ``connectedCallback()`` should be undone when the element is disconnected, in ``disconnectedCallback()``\ .
      
      **Returns**\ : *void*
      



.. js:method:: ui.tabs.HoopsTabsElement.selectByValue

      .. rst-class:: sig-pretty-signature
      
         | selectByValue(**value**\ : *string*\ ): *void*
      
      Selects a tab by its value property.
      
      **Parameters**
      
      
         **value**\ : *string*
      
      
            The value of the tab to select
      
      
      
      **Returns**\ : *void*
      



.. js:method:: ui.tabs.HoopsTabsElement.willUpdate

      .. rst-class:: sig-pretty-signature
      
         | willUpdate(**changedProperties**\ : (*PropertyValueMap* | *Map*\ )): *void*
      
      Invoked before ``update()`` to compute values needed during the update.
      
      Implement ``willUpdate`` to compute property values that depend on other properties and are used in the rest of the update process.
      
      .. code-block:: ts
      
         willUpdate(changedProperties) {
           // only need to check changed properties for an expensive computation.
           if (changedProperties.has('firstName') || changedProperties.has('lastName')) {
             this.sha = computeSHA(`${this.firstName} ${this.lastName}`);
           }
         }
         
         render() {
           return html`SHA: ${this.sha}`;
         }
      
      **Parameters**
      
      
         **changedProperties**\ : (*PropertyValueMap* \| *Map*\ )
      
      
      **Returns**\ : *void*
