# View

> Use the view component to create switchable content panels for different programming languages, frameworks, or configuration alternatives.

Use the `View` component to create content that changes based on the selected view in a multi-view dropdown. This is particularly useful for showing code examples or documentation specific to different programming languages or frameworks.

<Tip>
  Use one view component per language per page. Use [tabs](/components/tabs) for procedures that differ by language and [code groups](/components/code-groups) for code examples that differ by language.
</Tip>

<View title="JavaScript" icon="js">
  This content only appears when you select JavaScript.

  ```javascript theme={null}
  console.log("Hello from JavaScript!");
  ```
</View>

<View title="Python" icon="python">
  This content only appears when you select Python.

  ```python theme={null}
  print("Hello from Python!")
  ```
</View>

## Example

````mdx JavaScript and Python views theme={null}
<View title="JavaScript" icon="js">
  This content only appears when you select JavaScript.

  ```javascript
  console.log("Hello from JavaScript!");
  ```
</View>

<View title="Python" icon="python">
  This content only appears when you select Python.

  ```python
  print("Hello from Python!")
  ```
</View>
````

## Table of contents behavior

The table of contents automatically updates to show only the headings for the currently selected view. When you switch between views using the multi-view dropdown, the table of contents refreshes to display the relevant headings for that view.

If you have different heading structures in each view, users only see the headings that are relevant to their selected language or framework.
