# Tabbed Views

Appstent supports native tab bar customizations by providing the `tabbedView` field `type`.  The Tabbed Views is a special kind of collection views with its tabs configured in the `tabs` JSON array field instead of views like other collection views.  

Each tab is represented by its string based `title` field and a JSON object based `icon` field, that can contain any Appstent individual view, but typically contains an `image` type view.

For example, following sample shows a tabbed view containing two custom views.

```json
{
    "type": "tabbedView",
    "backgroundColor": "#ffffff",
    "tabs": [
        {
            "title": "Featured",
            "icon": {
                "type": "image",
                "source": "star",
                "sourceType": "system"
            },
            "tabContent": {
                "type": "custom",
                "customViewName": "category_home"
            }
        },
        {
            "title": "List",
            "icon": {
                "type": "image",
                "source": "list.bullet",
                "sourceType": "system"
            },
            "tabContent": {
                "type": "custom",
                "customViewName": "landmark_list"
            }
        }
    ]
}
```
