Remove active tabpanel with button in Shiny App

Question

Hi everyone I would love to know if it's possible to remove the current active tabPanel on a shiny app :

This is my code:

  # server
  observeEvent(input$removeTab, priority = 20, {
     removeTab(inputId="sortTab", target=input$ACTIVE_TAB)
  })

  # ui
  actionButton("removeTab", "Remove current tab")

Thanks a lot for your help!

Here is the answer. If the tabPanel that we desire to remove is encapsulated in a TabsetPanel, for example in a :

TabsetPanel(id='sortTab', Tabpanel(), Tabpanel() )

We juste have to respecify the TabSetPanel id with the input argument on the target :

  # server
  observeEvent(input$removeTab, priority = 20, {
     removeTab(inputId="sortTab", target=input$sortTab)
  })

  # ui
  actionButton("removeTab", "Remove current tab")
