Change Bootstrap 5 active tab using jQuery

I am trying to change an active tab when a button is clicked from inside another tab. All the examples I have found are tabs with anchor tags, none with buttons. Am I able to achieve this without changing from buttons to anchor tags? I have tried to apply the code I see for the anchor tags but that has not been successful. When I click view more, id like to switch to the referral tab

<ul class="nav nav-tabs innerTab" id="allTab" role="tablist">
  <li class="nav-item" role="presentation">
    <button class="nav-link active" id="all-tab" data-bs-toggle="tab" data-bs-target="#all" type="button" role="tab"

Solution

  • Add a reference to the button with id "referral-tab" and when the View more link is clicked, use bootrap's api to show it.

    1. Define the code to show the specific tab:
    var triggerEl = document.getElementById('referral-tab')
var tabTrigger = new bootstrap.Tab(triggerEl)
  
function activateReferralsTab() {
  bootstrap.Tab.getInstance(triggerEl).show() // Select tab by name
}
    1. Attach the activateReferralsTab() function to the View more link onclick handler:
    <a
  class="v-link-green d-inline-block float-end mt-3 me-3 view-more"
  onclick="activateReferralsTab()">
  View more
</a>

    What follows is a running example.

    var triggerEl = document.getElementById('referral-tab')
var tabTrigger = new bootstrap.Tab(triggerEl)
  
function activateReferralsTab() {
  bootstrap.Tab.getInstance(triggerEl).show() // Select tab by name
}
