Enter the webpart name as your solution name, and then select Enter.
Select Create a subfolder with solution name for where to place the files.
Select Y to allow the solution to be deployed to all sites immediately.

cd .\web part name\
code .

Primary react component

Update the <web part name>.tsx file

import * as React from 'react';
import styles from './SpfxFluentuiPivot.module.scss';
import { ISpfxFluentuiPivotProps } from './ISpfxFluentuiPivotProps';
import SpfxFluentuiPivotTab1 from './SpfxFluentuiPivotTab1';
import SpfxFluentuiPivotTab2 from './SpfxFluentuiPivotTab2';
import SpfxFluentuiPivotTab3 from './SpfxFluentuiPivotTab3';
import { Pivot, PivotItem } from 'office-ui-fabric-react/lib/Pivot';


export default class SpfxFluentuiPivot extends React.Component<ISpfxFluentuiPivotProps, {}> {
  public render(): React.ReactElement<ISpfxFluentuiPivotProps> {
    return (
      <div className={styles.spfxFluentuiPivot}>
        <Pivot aria-label="Basic Pivot Example">
          <PivotItem headerText="New User">
            <SpfxFluentuiPivotTab1></SpfxFluentuiPivotTab1>
          </PivotItem>
          <PivotItem headerText="Users">
            <SpfxFluentuiPivotTab2></SpfxFluentuiPivotTab2>
          </PivotItem>
          <PivotItem headerText="Shared Memberships">
            <SpfxFluentuiPivotTab3></SpfxFluentuiPivotTab3>
          </PivotItem>
        </Pivot>
      </div>
    );
  }
}

Tab 1 react component

import * as React from 'react';
import styles from './SpfxFluentuiPivot.module.scss';
import { TextField } from 'office-ui-fabric-react/lib/TextField';
import { PrimaryButton } from 'office-ui-fabric-react';


export default class SpfxFluentuiPivotTab1 extends React.Component<{}, {}> {
  public render(): React.ReactElement<{}> {
    return (
      <div className={styles.spfxFluentuiPivot}>
        <h3>New user details</h3>
        <TextField label="First Name" />
        <TextField label="Last Name" />
        <TextField label="House number" />

        <PrimaryButton text="Save" />
      </div>
    );
  }
}

Tab 2 react component

import * as React from 'react';
import styles from './SpfxFluentuiPivot.module.scss';

export default class SpfxFluentuiPivotTab2 extends React.Component<{}, {}> {
  public render(): React.ReactElement<{}> {
    return (
      <div className={ styles.spfxFluentuiPivot }>
        Tab 2
      </div>
    );
  }
}

Tab 3 react component

import * as React from 'react';
import styles from './SpfxFluentuiPivot.module.scss';

export default class SpfxFluentuiPivotTab3 extends React.Component<{}, {}> {
  public render(): React.ReactElement<{}> {
    return (
      <div className={ styles.spfxFluentuiPivot }>
        Tab 3
      </div>
    );
  }
}
