Overview
TabContainer is a customizable tab view and carousel widget for Flutter, featuring an animated indicator that smoothly transitions between tabs. It supports both manual tab switching via a TabController and direct child-based navigation. Users can customize the tab position (top, bottom, left, right), apply colors, and tailor the visual style to match their app's design. Ideal for creating dynamic, interactive interfaces with multiple content sections.
