Configure Components for Custom Tabs

Add the force:appHostable interface to a Lightning component to allow it to be used as a custom tab in Lightning Experience or Salesforce1.

Components that implement this interface can be used to create tabs in both Lightning Experience and Salesforce1.

Example Component

1<!--simpleTab.cmp-->
2<aura:component implements="force:appHostable">
3
4    <!-- Simple tab content -->
5
6    <h1>Lightning Component Tab</h1>
7
8</aura:component>

The appHostable interface makes the component available for use as a custom tab. It doesn’t require you to add anything else to the component.
