# Blazor Tabs - Create a Dynamic Tabbed Interface

The example demonstrates how to create an interactive multi-tab web interface with DevExpress Blazor [Tabs](https://docs.devexpress.com/Blazor/405074/components/layout/tabs) and [Context Menu](https://docs.devexpress.com/Blazor/405060/components/navigation-controls/context-menu) components.

The CssClass property of a tab page serves as a unique identifier, allowing client-side scripts to interact with specific tabs.

### Persist Tab State

Implement a custom `MDITab` class to encapsulate specific properties of each individual tab. `MDITabCollection` will control visibility, display order, and titles of all tabs. The title links an underlying object to the visual tab representation in the UI.
Implement a custom `MDITab` class ([MDITab.cs](CS/DxBlazorApplication1/Components/MDI/MDITab.cs)) to encapsulate specific properties of each individual tab. `MDITabCollection` class ([MDITabCollection.cs](CS/DxBlazorApplication1/Components/MDI/MDITabCollection.cs)) will control visibility, display order, and titles of all tabs. The title links an underlying object to the visual tab representation in the UI.

Bind these properties to the visual tab elements in the UI. To ensure the `MDITabCollection` accurately reflects the live interface, implement event handlers for TabReorder and TabClosing. These handlers will listen for user actions and dynamically update the collection to match the current tab state.

These handlers will listen for user actions and dynamically update the collection to match the current tab state.

To maintain the tab layout across sessions, serialize the collection to JSON and save it to the browser's local storage with `MDIStateHelper` class every time the UI layout changes. It maintains the tab visibility and order even after the user closes and reopens the browser. Tab state is restored in the OnAfterRenderAsync event handler.
