Hide a view

New in v14.22.0

A view can be hidden (or shown) based on other input fields by assigning a callback function to the visible argument within the view. The callback function needs to return a boolean:

def get_visibility(params, **kwargs):
    return params.param_x
    
    
class Controller(vkt.Controller):
    ...
    
    @vkt.TableView("Results", visible=get_visibility)
    def my_table_view(self, params, **kwargs):
        ...

If a Page or Step is used, views will only be visible in the editor if they are both visible and defined in the page/step's views.

When the visibility depends on data of another entity, the entity_id can be used to navigate and obtain data using the SDK API.

tip

Upon evaluation of the visibility constraint, the platform passes the params, entity_id, entity_name, and workspace_id to the callback function. All individual kwargs can be added explicitly in the signature if desired:

def get_visibility(params, entity_id, entity_name, workspace_id, **kwargs):
    ...
