I wish to know if it is possible to create multiple infoBoxes with only one reactive function "ibox" as in the script below. I shall pass the values for all the infoboxes below within the ibox reactive function and see all of them getting displayed together.
library(shiny)
library(shinydashboard)
ui <- dashboardPage(
dashboardHeader(title = "Dynamic boxes"),
dashboardSidebar(),
dashboardBody(
fluidRow(
infoBoxOutput("ibox")
)))
server <- function(input, output) {
output$ibox <- renderInfoBox({
infoBox(
"Title",
5,
icon = icon("credit-card")
)
infoBox(
"Title",
5,
icon = icon("credit-card")
)
infoBox(
"Title",
4,
icon = icon("credit-card")
)
})}
shinyApp(ui, server)
As mentioned in the comments, you could use renderUI
and uiOutput
. However, note that renderUI
only actually renders the last statement in its body. In order to render multiple objects, we can place them in a list (or column
, fluidRow
, etc.). Working example:
library(shiny)
library(shinydashboard)
ui <- dashboardPage(
dashboardHeader(title = "Dynamic boxes"),
dashboardSidebar(),
dashboardBody(
fluidRow(
uiOutput("ibox")
)))
server <- function(input, output) {
output$ibox <- renderUI({
list(
infoBox(
"Title",
5,
icon = icon("credit-card")
),
infoBox(
"Title",
5,
icon = icon("credit-card")
),
infoBox(
"Title",
4,
icon = icon("credit-card")
)
)
})}
shinyApp(ui, server)
