Custom tabs for UI5 Web Components TabContainer

How to run the project:

• npm i
• npm run start
• Open http://localhost:8083/test-resources/pages/index.html in your browser.

Observe the "custom" tab de# both the tab strip and overflow menu (when you shrink the browser).

How it works:

1. The app consumes the @next version (0.0.0-dc606098a or newer):

   "dependencies": {
   	"@ui5/webcomponents-base": "0.0.0-dc606098a",
   	"@ui5/webcomponents": "0.0.0-dc606098a",
   	"@ui5/webcomponents-theme-base": "0.0.0-dc606098a",
   	"@ui5/webcomponents-tools": "0.0.0-dc606098a"
     }

2. There is a new component src/VladiTab.js:

   It extends Tab.js

   class VladiTab extends Tab

   and registers its own templates:

   	static get stripTemplate() {
   		return TabInStripTemplate;
   	}
   
   	static get overflowTemplate() {
   		return TabInOverflowTemplate;
   	}

   and styles:

   TabContainer.registerTabStyles(stripCss);
   TabContainer.registerStaticAreaTabStyles(overflowCss);

   It even creates a specific property called special (of type Boolean) that allows some tabs to have a different font-size for example. In the test sample provided, the first tab is with the special attribute set.

3. The application bundles this new component, along with the Tab Container itself:

   import "@ui5/webcomponents/dist/TabContainer.js";
   import "@ui5/webcomponents/dist/TabSeparator.js";
   import "./dist/VladiTab.js";

4. And finally the app uses it in test/pages/index.html:

   	<ui5-tabcontainer show-overflow>
   		<ui5-vladi-tab text="Products" additional-text="125" special>
   			Content 1
   		</ui5-vladi-tab>
   		<ui5-tab-separator></ui5-tab-separator>
   		<ui5-vladi-tab icon="sap-icon://menu2" text="Laptops" semantic-color="Positive" additional-text="25">
   			Content 2
   		</ui5-vladi-tab>
   		<ui5-vladi-tab icon="sap-icon://menu" text="Monitors" selected semantic-color="Critical" additional-text="45">
   			Content 3
   		</ui5-vladi-tab>
   		<ui5-vladi-tab icon="sap-icon://menu2" text="Keyboards" semantic-color="Negative" additional-text="15">
   			Content 4
   		</ui5-vladi-tab>
   		<ui5-vladi-tab icon="sap-icon://menu2" disabled text="Disabled"  semantic-color="Negative" additional-text="40">
   			Content 5
   		</ui5-vladi-tab>
   		<ui5-vladi-tab icon="sap-icon://menu2" text="Neutral" semantic-color="Neutral" additional-text="40">
   			Content 6
   		</ui5-vladi-tab>
   		<ui5-vladi-tab icon="sap-icon://menu2" text="Default" additional-text="40">
   			Content 7
   		</ui5-vladi-tab>
   	</ui5-tabcontainer>

Note: When providing your own tab templates, make sure you keep the top-level li element for the tab strip template and the top-level ui5-li-custom element for the overflow menu template.
