Angular PrimeNG TabMenu Styling

Angular PrimeNG is an open-source framework with a rich set of native Angular UI components that are used for great styling and this framework is used to make responsive websites with very much ease. It provides a lot of templates, components, theme design, an extensive icon library, and much more. In this article, we will see the Angular PrimeNG TabMenu Styling.

The TabMenu component allows the creation of the menu in the form of a tier. It displays submenus in nested overlays. The TabMenu Styling classes allow changing the design of the component from the default design.

      // CSS Styling
}
