bs4Dash
A 'Bootstrap 4' Version of 'shinydashboard'
Make 'Bootstrap 4' dashboards. Use the full power of 'AdminLTE3', a dashboard template built on top of 'Bootstrap 4' < https://github.com/almasaeed2010/AdminLTE/tree/v3-dev>.
Important note
bs4Dash needs the following code to be added in the header in order to work on shinyapps.io:
shiny::tags$head( shiny::tags$script( "// handle shinyapps.io: we need to extract the worker id and // paste it in the url so that the apps works correctly // get the shiny app.io workerId var workerId = $('base').attr('href'); // ensure that this code does not run on shiny server/pro and locally if (typeof workerId != 'undefined') { // get the initial page url var url = window.location.href; // get the name of the first selected tab // replace the url by the url for shinyapp.io window.location.replace(url + workerId); } " ))This code has to be embeded as follows:
library(shiny)library(bs4Dash) shiny::shinyApp( ui = bs4DashPage( navbar = bs4DashNavbar(), sidebar = bs4DashSidebar(), controlbar = bs4DashControlbar(), footer = bs4DashFooter(), title = "test", body = bs4DashBody( shiny::tags$head( shiny::tags$script( "// handle shinyapps.io: we need to extract the worker id and // paste it in the url so that the apps works correctly // get the shiny app.io workerId var workerId = $('base').attr('href'); // ensure that this code does not run on shiny server/pro and locally if (typeof workerId != 'undefined') { // get the initial page url var url = window.location.href; // get the name of the first selected tab // replace the url by the url for shinyapp.io window.location.replace(url + workerId); } " ) ) ), server = function(input, output) {})This issue is fixed on the new github version but you need to wait for the next CRAN release (next week) since shinyapps.io uses the latest CRAN version.
See a working example here.
