glasstabs: Animated Glass-Style Tabs and Multi-Select Filter for 'Shiny'
Tools for creating animated glassmorphism-style tab navigation and select filter widgets in 'Shiny' applications. Provides a tab navigation component with a sliding glass halo animation, a searchable multi-select dropdown, and a single-select dropdown - all with multiple colour themes and server-side update helpers. Tabs support icons, numeric badges, disable/enable toggling, runtime append/remove, reactive rendering via 'renderGlassTabs()', URL bookmarking, and compact mode for dashboard card layouts. 'glassTabCondition()' generates 'conditionalPanel()' condition strings without needing to recall the internal input key pattern. 'glasstabs_news()' displays the release notes from the R console. Built-in example apps can be launched with 'runGlassExample()'. All widgets are compatible with standard 'Shiny' layouts and 'bs4Dash' dashboards and 'bslib' themed applications. For full documentation and examples see Arthur (2026) <https://prigasg.github.io/glasstabs/>.
