Access current tab selection about argondash

[DivadNojnarg]

Hi,

There is no input associated with the sidebar or tabCard. Therefore this behavior is expected. For the moment you could create a JavaScript code to set a Shiny.onInputChange. It won’t work with Shinytest.

Thanks for the suggestion, the workaround works.

Would you be willing to post an example of the workaround?

Hey @OGuggenbuehl,

Basically I added the following JS code to argonDashBody

tags$script( "$(document).on('click', function(event) {
              Shiny.onInputChange('activeTab', $('.active').data().value);});")

Which creates input$activeTab containing the id of the active tab.

This trick only works after the user clicks anywhere on page, I couldn't get Shiny.onInputChange to work without that.

Let me know if you still need help.
