Function: Hide an element​

This function allows you to control the visibility of any visual component (like a button, text field, or entire section) on your application's page. You can choose to simply hide it from view or completely remove it from the page's structure, which can be useful for dynamic interfaces or security.

Input​

  • Element
    • Type: UI element
    • Description: The specific visual component on your page that you want to hide.
    • Required: Yes
  • Remove element
    • Type: True/False
    • Description: Decide if the element should be completely removed from the page's structure (True) or just visually hidden while still occupying its space (False).
    • Default Value: True
    • Required: Yes

Output​

This function does not produce any direct output. Its effect is a change in the visibility of the specified element on your application's page.

Execution Flow​

Real-Life Examples​

Here are some practical ways you can use the "Hide an element" function in your application:

  1. Hide a "Submit" button after form submission:

    • Scenario: After a user successfully submits a form, you want to prevent them from submitting it again and clean up the interface.
    • Inputs:
      • Element: The "Submit" button.
      • Remove element: True
    • Result: The "Submit" button disappears entirely from the form after submission, and its space is reclaimed by other elements.

  2. Control visibility of an "Admin Panel" based on user role:

    • Scenario: You have a section on your page that should only be visible to users with an "Administrator" role. For other roles, you want it completely inaccessible.
    • Inputs:
      • Element: The "Admin Panel" section.
      • Remove element: True
    • Result: Users without the "Administrator" role will not see the "Admin Panel" section, and it won't be present in the page's underlying code for them, enhancing security.

  3. Temporarily hide a "Loading..." spinner while preserving layout:

    • Scenario: You display a "Loading..." spinner while data is being fetched. Once the data arrives, you want the spinner to disappear, but you don't want the surrounding elements to shift their positions.
    • Inputs:
      • Element: The "Loading..." spinner image or text.
      • Remove element: False
    • Result: The "Loading..." spinner becomes invisible, but the area it occupied remains empty, preventing other elements from jumping into its place and causing a jarring layout change.
