glasstabs: Animated Glass-Style Tabs and Select Inputs 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, responsive overflow modes, optional touch gestures, reduced-motion support, 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. An experimental 'glassPage()' helper provides a thin wrapper around a fillable 'bslib' page when 'bslib' is installed. For full documentation and examples see Arthur (2026) <https://prigasg.github.io/glasstabs/>.

Getting Started with glasstabs
What is glasstabs? | Start here, by task. Only need tabs? Read the tabs article.Only need a dropdown? Read the single-select or multi-select guide.Building reusable filters? Read the modules and linked-filtersrecipes. Something broken? Read troubleshooting first — most entriesare configuration choices, not bugs. The example gallery lists arunnable demo for each question above. | Installation | The one rule: call useGlassTabs() once | Tab widget in 3 minutes | Step 1 — define your tabs | Step 2 — assemble with glassTabsUI() | Step 3 — read the active tab in the server | Multi-select filter | Step 1 — define choices and place the widget | Step 2 — read the selection in the server | Optional reactive helper | Updating from the server | Single-select dropdown | Step 1: add a single-select input | Step 2: read the value in the server | Using them together | Choosing a theme | bs4Dash | A useful starting pattern

Migrating from native Shiny controls

Multi-Select with glasstabs
Why multi-select is the centerpiece | A complete app in one page | What the widget produces | The selection model: all, some, or none | How a partial selection is shown | Check styles, and the style switcher | Filled rows: one accent, or one hue per option | Search: always, automatic, or never | Long labels, wrapping, and tooltips | Select all, clear all, and the chrome rows | Disabled options — and what survives a choices update | Grouped choices | Tag pills with glassFilterTags() | Reading values on the server | The glassMultiSelectValue() helper | Understanding selection behavior: All, Some, and None | Server-side search for large choice sets | Performance and limitations | Updating from the server | Closing dropdowns and dynamic layouts | Theming | Built-in presets | Custom themes with glass_select_theme() | Presentation: tongue, labels, corners, width | Placement: standalone, in tabs, in dashboards | Keyboard and pointer interaction | A worked dashboard: linked filters | Compared with selectizeInput(multiple = TRUE) | Gotchas, collected

Single-Select Dropdown with glasstabs
Overview | Basic usage | Initial selection | Empty-string values are ordinary values | Optional label | Selection styles | Corner shape | Width, grouped choices, and disabled options | Long selected labels | Dropdown lifecycle | Searchable and clearable | Server-side search for large choice sets | Explicit "All" option | Server-side access | Reactive helper | Updating choices and selection from the server | Theming | Built-in presets | Custom theme with glass_select_theme() | Standalone usage

Troubleshooting
Dropdown does not look styled | Server-backed search never returns results | Multi-select starts with everything checked | Clearing a selection shows all records | Selection disappears after a choices update | Dropdown is too narrow | Theme differs from the surrounding dashboard | Server update does not reach a module control | Dropdown closes when a modal opens | Widget appears unstyled or unbound after renderUI()
