Methods

	Method	Returns	Description
	display()	void	Override to render the tab imperatively. Not called when getSettingDefinitions returns a non-empty array; the tab is rendered declaratively from those definitions instead. Only implement display() as a fallback for plugins that need to support Obsidian versions older than 1.13.0. (Inherited from SettingTab)
	getControlValue(key)	unknown	Read the current value for a control key. Called on every render of a control-type setting definition. The default implementation reads from this.app.vault.getConfig — appropriate for the app's own setting tabs. PluginSettingTab and InternalPluginSettingTab override this to read from their conventional settings storage; plugins with custom storage override on their subclass. (Inherited from SettingTab)
	getSettingDefinitions()	SettingDefinitionItem[]	Override to provide setting definitions. Return an array of definitions and inline groups. Called on every display() and once when the tab is added to the setting modal for search indexing. (Inherited from SettingTab)
	hide()	void	Hides the contents of the setting tab. Any registered components should be unloaded when the view is hidden. Override this if you need to perform additional cleanup. (Inherited from SettingTab)
	refreshDomState()	void	Re-evaluate every visible and disabled predicate against the current state and apply the result to the rendered DOM. Call this from a render callback's onChange (or any other imperative path) after mutating state that other settings' predicates depend on. Cheap: toggles CSS state in place, no re-render. For changes that affect the structure of the definitions themselves (added or removed items), call update() instead. (Inherited from SettingTab)
	setControlValue(key, value)	void | Promise<void>	Persist a new value for a control key. Called on user change of a control-type setting definition. The default implementation writes to this.app.vault.setConfig. Override to persist elsewhere; pair with getControlValue. (Inherited from SettingTab)
	update()	void	Stores the result of getSettingDefinitions() for rendering and search indexing. Called by addSettingTab() and by dynamic tabs when their data changes. (Inherited from SettingTab)
	updateHotkeyVisibility()	void	Update visibility of hotkey entries based on the current search filter.
