When designing a modern settings page, organizing options into clear sections is essential for usability. Tabs are a powerful way to separate different categories, such as Account, Notifications, and Privacy, allowing you to group related preferences together. This approach helps you quickly find and adjust the settings that matter without feeling overwhelmed by a long list of options.

Suppose you want to create a settings interface where each main category is accessible via its own tab. You could lay out your settings page so that you see a tab bar at the top, with each tab corresponding to a distinct area of user preferences. When you click a tab, only the relevant settings for that category are displayed below.

Within each settings category, you often need to let users enable or disable specific features. Switch components are ideal for this purpose because they provide a clear, intuitive way to toggle options on or off. For instance, you might use a Switch to let users turn on dark mode, enable email notifications, or allow location access.

Here is a simple example of how you might use Switches for user preferences:

• Dark Mode: [Switch];
• Email Notifications: [Switch];
• Enable Location: [Switch].

Each Switch represents a preference that the user can toggle, giving immediate visual feedback about the current state of that setting.

To make your settings page interactive, you need to manage state for each preference. This means keeping track of which tab is currently selected and whether each Switch is on or off. In React, you typically use state hooks to control these values, updating the UI in real-time as the user interacts with the page.

When a user toggles a Switch, your component should update the corresponding state variable and, if necessary, provide feedback—such as displaying a message that a setting has been changed. Controlled components ensure that the UI always reflects the current state, preventing confusion and maintaining consistency throughout the settings page.
