How to display widgets inline in shiny


I have the below code to display the widgets inline(in same row) in shiny

div(style="display:inline-block; width: 150px;height: 75px;",selectInput("ddllgra", "Function:",c('mean','median','sd','count','min','max'), selected='mean')),
div(style="display:inline-block; width: 150px;height: 75px;",textInput(inputId="xlimitsmax", label="x-max", value = 0.5))

It is coming out in UI, but not in the same line order. one in coming in the upper side and other is coming on the lower side one the same line.

Is there a way to correct this misalignment?


Solution

  • Add vertical-align:top to your style

    #rm(list = ls())
    library(shiny)
    
    ui <- fluidPage(
        sidebarPanel(
              div(style="display: inline-block;vertical-align:top; width: 150px;",selectInput("ddllgra", "Function:",c('mean','median','sd','count','min','max'), selected='mean')),
              div(style="display: inline-block;vertical-align:top; width: 150px;",textInput(inputId="xlimitsmax", label="x-max", value = 0.5))),
        mainPanel()
    )
    server <- shinyServer(function(input,output){})
    shinyApp(ui, server)

    Edit: How to add space between the divs

    You can use the same approach: Example below has 100px between the divs

    #rm(list = ls())
    library(shiny)
    
    ui <- fluidPage(
      sidebarPanel(
        div(style="display: inline-block;vertical-align:top; width: 150px;",selectInput("ddllgra", "Function:",c('mean','median','sd','count','min','max'), selected='mean')),
        div(style="display: inline-block;vertical-align:top; width: 100px;",HTML("<br>")),
        div(style="display: inline-block;vertical-align:top; width: 150px;",textInput(inputId="xlimitsmax", label="x-max", value = 0.5))),
      mainPanel()
    )
    server <- shinyServer(function(input,output){})
    shinyApp(ui, server)
