Anthony LioandDanny White 38f448b01c fix(ui): tab component (#50183)
## What kind of change does this PR introduce?
bug fix on tab component + a small refactor

## What is the current behavior?

the active tab in an underline list gets border-b-2 while its siblings
get nothing, so it's 2px taller and its label sits higher than the rest
causing a smol layout shift within docs

## What is the new behavior?

- adds one absolute positioned bar that slides between tabs so nothing
moves
- favors track under an underline as an inset shadow vs a border

Maintainers

If you are a maintainer of any tools in the Supabase ecosystem, you can use this site to provide documentation for the tools & libraries that you maintain.

DocSpec

We use documentation specifications which can be used to generate human-readable docs.

  • OpenAPI: for documenting API endpoints.
  • SDKSpec (custom to Supabase): for SDKs and client libraries.
  • ConfigSpec (custom to Supabase): for configuration options.
  • CLISpec (custom to Supabase): for CLI commands and usage.

The benefit of using custom specifications is that we can generate many other types from a strict schema (eg, HTML and manpages). It also means that we can switch to any documentation system we want. On this site we use Next.js, but on Supabase's official website, we use a custom React site and expose only a subset of the available API for each tool.
