dynamics crm advanced form navigation - pivot instead of hamburger

Sometimes you need to make it easier to switch between tabs in a dynamics crm form. Here's how you can use office fabric ui to make a "pivot". Just add this to your webpack build.
/** Navigation via Pivot from Office UI Fabric. */
import React from "react"
import { render } from "react-dom"

import {Fabric} from "office-ui-fabric-react/lib"
import { Pivot, PivotItem }
from 'office-ui-fabric-react/lib/Pivot';

/**
 * Manage state as best you can given that all changes are side-effects to dynamics.
 * There is not an easy way to detect when the tabs are changed external to
 * react. Tabs hidden at the start are always hidden. Tabs are set once in props once
 * at creation time and cannot be changed.
 */
export class DynamicsPivot extends React.Component {

    static ALL = -1
    
    constructor(props) {
        super(props)

        let alwaysHidden = props.alwaysHidden || []
        if(props.tabs && !props.alwaysHidden) {
            // tabs is a fake array
            for(let i=0; i< props.tabs.getLength(); i++) {
                const t = props.tabs.get(i)
                if(!t.getVisible()) alwaysHidden.push(i)
            }
        }
        
        this.state = {
            alwaysHidden, // indexes to hide, 0-based
            selectedIndex: props.selectedIndex ||
                           ((props.tabs && props.tabs.getLength() > 0) ? 0 : DynamicsPivot.ALL),
            tabs: props.tabs,
            // true=>collapse un-selected tabs but keep visible
            // otherwise un-selected tabs are not visible
            collapse: props.collapse,
            labelMap: props.labelMap, // use these labels instead of actual tab labels
        }
    }

        collapse: true,

        const calc = this.state.labelMap[lab]
        if(calc) return calc
        return lab

        const selected = this.state.selectedIndex
        const haveTabs = this.state.tabs
        if(haveTabs) {
