Currently, the only available TabType isDOCUMENT_TAB.
TabType
An enumeration of all the tab types.
To call an enum, you call its parent class, name, and property. For example,DocumentApp.TabType.TAB.
Use theTabTypeenumeration to check the type of a given element, for instance:
consttab=DocumentApp.getActiveDocument().getActiveTab();// Use getType() to determine the tab's type before casting.if(tab.getType()===DocumentApp.TabType.DOCUMENT_TAB){// It's a document tab, write some text to it.tab.asDocumentTab().setText('Hello World!');}else{// There are currently no types other than DOCUMENT_TAB.}

It currently has one property: `DOCUMENT_TAB`, which represents a DocumentTab. To use `TabType`, access it via `DocumentApp.TabType.DOCUMENT_TAB`. The `getType()` method can determine a tab's type, and you should use it for type checking before casting it as a Document Tab with `asDocumentTab()`.\n"]]
