```kotlin
@Composable
fun Tab(
    selected: Boolean,
    onClick: () -> Unit,
    modifier: Modifier = Modifier,
    enabled: Boolean = true,
    text: @Composable (() -> Unit)? = null,
    icon: @Composable (() -> Unit)? = null,
    interactionSource: MutableInteractionSource? = null,
    selectedContentColor: Color = LocalContentColor.current,
    unselectedContentColor: Color = selectedContentColor.copy(alpha = ContentAlpha.medium),
)
```


#### Parameters

| | |
| --- | --- |
| selected | whether this tab is selected or not |
| onClick | the callback to be invoked when this tab is selected |
| modifier | optional `Modifier` for this tab |
| enabled | controls the enabled state of this tab. When `false`, this tab will not be clickable and will appear disabled to accessibility services. |
| text | the text label displayed in this tab |
| icon | the icon displayed in this tab |
| interactionSource | an optional hoisted `MutableInteractionSource` for observing and emitting `Interaction`s for this tab. You can use this to change the tab's appearance or preview the tab in different states. Note that if `null` is provided, interactions will still happen internally. |
