  inputId,

Examples

if (interactive()) {
shiny::shinyApp(
  ui = dashboardPage(
    header = dashboardHeader(title = "Demo"),
    sidebar = dashboardSidebar(
      sidebarMenu(
        id = "sidebarMenu",
        menuItem("Overview", tabName = "overview"),
        menuItem("Reports", tabName = "reports")
      )
    ),
    body = dashboardBody(
      shiny::actionButton("go_reports", "Go to reports"),
      tabItems(
        tabItem(tabName = "overview", shiny::h2("Overview")),
        tabItem(tabName = "reports", shiny::h2("Reports"))
      )
    )
  ),
  server = function(input, output, session) {

      updateTabItems(session, inputId = "sidebarMenu", selected = "reports")
    })
  }
)
