showTab {shiny} | R Documentation

## Dynamically hide/show a tabPanel

### Description

Dynamically hide or show a `tabPanel` (or a `navbarMenu`)from an existing `tabsetPanel`, `navlistPanel` or `navbarPage`.

### Usage

    showTab(inputId, target, select = FALSE,
      session = getDefaultReactiveDomain())

    hideTab(inputId, target, session = getDefaultReactiveDomain())

### Arguments

`inputId` | The `id` of the `tabsetPanel` (or `navlistPanel` or `navbarPage`) in which to find `target`.
`target` | The `value` of the `tabPanel` to be hidden/shown. See Details if you want to hide/show an entire `navbarMenu` instead.
`select` | Should `target` be selected upon being shown?
`session` | The shiny session within which to call this function.

### Details

For `navbarPage`, you can hide/show conventional `tabPanel`s (whether at the top level or nested inside a `navbarMenu`), as well as an entire `navbarMenu`. For the latter case, `target` should be the `menuName` that you gave your `navbarMenu` when you first created it (by default, this is equal to the value of the `title` argument).
