tabsetPanel and controlbarMenu don't allow type = "hidden" despite mention in documentation

[zilch42]

Hi there,

Both bs4Dash::tabsetPanel and bs4Dash::controlbarMenu return the following error when using type = "hidden"

Error in match.arg(type) : 'arg' should be one of “tabs”, “pills”

The documentation for both functions suggests that type = "hidden" is an option. I believe it is inheriting that part of the documentation from shiny.

type |
"tabs"Standard tab look
"pills"Selected tabs use the background fill color
"hidden"Hides the selectable tabs. Use type = "hidden" in conjunction with tabPanelBody() and updateTabsetPanel() to control the active tab via other input controls. (See example below)
(note that the documentation for those functions isn't currently showing any example of that functionality)

shiny::tabsetPanel does allow type = "hidden"

bs4Dash 2.0.0.90
shiny 1.6.0
R 4.0.2

minimal example that produces the error below:

if (interactive()) {
  library(shiny)
  library(bs4Dash)
  
  shinyApp(
    ui = dashboardPage(
      header = dashboardHeader(),
      sidebar = dashboardSidebar(),
      body = dashboardBody(),
      controlbar = dashboardControlbar(
        id = "controlbar",
        collapsed = FALSE,
        overlay = TRUE, 
        pinned = TRUE, 
        controlbarMenu(
          type = "hidden", 
          controlbarItem("item one"), 
          controlbarItem("item two")
        )
      ),
      title = "updateControlbar"
    ),
    server = function(input, output, session) {
      
    }
  )
}

You're right. They're using the old tabsetPanel function, when hidden didn't exist. I'll hardcode the corresponding help parameter.

Side note: shiny 1.7.0 is going to have native Bootstrap 4 panels so I'll wait before upgrading.
