# Data Binding

The TabStrip provides support for binding it to local data arrays.

Local data arrays are appropriate for limited value options. To bind the TabStrip to local data, use the [Kendo UI Data Source component](https://docs.telerik.com/kendo-ui/framework/datasource/overview).

```jsx-preview
	class LayoutsContainer extends React.Component {

	  render() {
	    return (
          <div className="example-wrapper">
            <p> TabStrip </p>
            <TabStrip value="Tab1"
                dataTextField="Name" dataContentField="Content"
                dataSource = {new kendo.data.DataSource({                
                    data:
                    [{ Name: "Tab1", Content: "Tab1: content" },
                    { Name: "Tab2", Content: "Tab2: content" }
                    ]})
                    }
                >
            </TabStrip>   
          </div>
	    );
	  }
	}
	ReactDOM.render(
	  <LayoutsContainer />,
	  document.querySelector('my-app')
	);
```
