bs4Dash

Bootstrap 4 shinydashboard using AdminLTE3

New users moving to bs4Dash v2.0.0

Taking the simple {shinydashboard} example:

library(shiny)
library(shinydashboard)

ui <- dashboardPage(
  dashboardHeader(title = "Basic dashboard"),
  dashboardSidebar(),
  dashboardBody(
    # Boxes need to be put in a row (or column)
    fluidRow(
      box(plotOutput("plot1", height = 250)),

      box(
        title = "Controls",
        sliderInput("slider", "Number of observations:", 1, 100, 50)
      )
    )
  )
)

server <- function(input, output) {
  set.seed(122)
  histdata <- rnorm(500)

  output$plot1 <- renderPlot({
    data <- histdata[seq_len(input$slider)]
    hist(data)
  })
}

shinyApp(ui, server)

Starting from v2.0.0, moving to {bs4Dash} is rather simple:

library(bs4Dash)
ui <- dashboardPage(
  dashboardHeader(title = "Basic dashboard"),
  dashboardSidebar(),
  dashboardBody(
    # Boxes need to be put in a row (or column)
    fluidRow(
      box(plotOutput("plot1", height = 250)),

      box(
        title = "Controls",
        sliderInput("slider", "Number of observations:", 1, 100, 50)
      )
    )
  )
)

server <- function(input, output) {
  set.seed(122)
  histdata <- rnorm(500)

  output$plot1 <- renderPlot({
    data <- histdata[seq_len(input$slider)]
    hist(data)
  })
}

shinyApp(ui, server)

Upgrading bs4Dash to 2.0.0

• {bs4Dash} is undergoing major rework to make it easier to come from {shinydashboard}. The current development version 2.0.0 provides a 1:1 supports, in other word moving from {shinydashboard} to {bs4Dash} is accomplished by changing library(shinydashboard) to library(bs4Dash).

• {bs4Dash} v2.0.0 also provides 1:1 with {shinydashboardPlus} to ease compatibility.

• Apps built with {bs4Dash} version <= 0.5.0 are definitely not compatible with v2.0.0 due to substantial breaking changes in the API. We advise users to keep the old version for old apps and move to to the new version for newer apps.

Disclaimer: as of now, {bs4Dash} 2.0.0 needs:

shiny (>= 1.6.0)
htmltools (>= 0.5.1.1)
bslib (>= 0.2.4)
thematic (>= 0.1.2)

Installation

bs4Dash >= v2.0.0

# latest devel version
devtools::install_github("RinteRface/bs4Dash")

bs4Dash <= v0.5.0

This package is on CRAN:

# from CRAN
