Dynamic tabs

Requested by @Dene33 via Twitter DMs. I think most of the complexity is already in the client so hopefully this is just a matter of writing some thin Python wrappers

FWIW, there is a draft in #90 (IIRC, it ended up getting blocked by modules, so it'll probably need some updates to work properly w/ modules)

[Dene33]

Thanks, @cpsievert I'll give it a try. It should work if no modules are present in the project, right?

[Dene33]

Tried to apply #90 on top of the main branch but it seems the draft is too old to work out of the box unfortunately. :(

@Dene33 I just rebased and force-pushed (edit: and updated the modules-related code), can you try again?

Also it should work with modules now, although I haven't had a chance to test it yet.

[Dene33]

@jcheng5 Sorry for the late reply. I gave it a try, and everything is working great (except for the modules, I haven't tested those yet). Thanks a lot!

I'm sorry for the naive question (I'm new to Github and Shiny for Python/ShinyLive) but does this thread mean that I can try this functionality as now available or not quite? Or is there an easy way to load this before it gets rolled into the main branch?

I was trying to sort this out on my own but was having trouble implementing anything but a brute force solution. My hope it to have a navset_tab_card with a fixed tab with a list of checkbox items and as you choose some of those checkbox items it creates extra tabs for the specific checked boxes. I started a brute force method of combinations of the checkbox entries but then searched and saw this entry and it seems that is more or less the feature you have worked on with nav_append()?!
