Gildas Garcia 4b7cb27ba9 chore: refactor docs tabs (#47557)
## Problem

Now that `docs` is the only place where we use the deprecated `ui/Tabs`,
we can move this component and the related HOC from `ui-patterns` in
`docs`

## Solution

- Move `ui/Tabs`, `ui-patterns/ComplexTabs/withQueryParams` and
`ui-patterns/ComplexTabs/withSticky` to `docs`
- Refactor `ui-patterns/ComplexTabs/withQueryParams` and
`ui-patterns/ComplexTabs/withSticky` HOCs as hooks to make them easier
to understand
- Refactor `Tabs` accordingly

No visual nor functional changes.

## How to test

On
https://docs-git-chore-refactor-docs-tabs-supabase.vercel.app/docs/guides/auth/passwords
(Tabs are driven by URL and the flow tabs should have sticky headers
even though there's a CSS bug already reported)
- check that by default, the first tab in each tabs is active
- change the tabs in different groups and validate it works
- refresh the page and check that previously selected tabs are active
(URL based selection)
- In a new tab, visit
https://docs-git-chore-refactor-docs-tabs-supabase.vercel.app/docs/guides/auth/passwords
again and check that previously selected tabs are active (LocalStorage
based selection)

Do the same on
https://docs-git-chore-refactor-docs-tabs-supabase.vercel.app/docs/guides/database/database-advisors
(This one is driven by URL but does not have sticky tab headers)

Do the same on
https://docs-git-chore-refactor-docs-tabs-supabase.vercel.app/docs/guides/deployment/terraform/reference
(this one is not driven by URL nor has sticky tab headers)

## Summary by CodeRabbit

* **New Features**

parameters.

view.
  * Enhanced keyboard interaction for selecting tabs.
* **Bug Fixes**

query changes.

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.
