I'm looking to shift from {shinydashboard} and {bs4Dash} towards {bslib} while keeping the nice feature of having a global collapsible sidebar in my apps.
In this {bslib} vignette some functions such as layout_sidebar() or page_navbar() are used as examples but I cannot find the first function in my latest version of {bslib} (0.4.2) nor can I find the sidebar argument in the page_navbar() function (same for sidebar() function).
There must be a simple explanation, but I can't figure why. Is the vignette outdated and these functions have been dropped ?
I tried installing directly from the github repo (rstudio/bslib), but the issue is the same.
More generally, is this possible to use exclusively {shiny} and {bslib} without additional Javascript to leverage a collapsible global sidebar as it could be done in {bs4Dash} using bs4Dash::dashboardSidebar() ?
I love the possibilities offered by {bslib} (fine tuning with bootstrap 5 and bs_add_variables()) and would appreciate a clean solution for sidebars. If this doesn't exist, does anyone knows when it will be available ?
Many thanks !
You can install the development version of bslib:
remotes::install_github("rstudio/bslib")
Then an example is:
library(shiny)
library(bslib)
library(ggplot2)
ui <- page_navbar(
nav(
"Plot",
plotOutput("gg")
),
sidebar = sidebar(
numericInput("test", "Test", value = 5)
)
)
server <- function(input, output, session) {
output[["gg"]] <- renderPlot({
ggplot(
iris, aes(x = Sepal.Length, y = Sepal.Width)
) + geom_point()
})
}
shinyApp(ui, server)
