Twitter Bootstrap Components for Shiny

shinyBS

shinyBS is a package that adds several additional Twitter Boostrap components to shiny. You can install shinyBS from this repository by first installing devtools. At the R prompt type:

install.packages("devtools")

After installing devtools in R you can install shinyBS by typing at the R prompt:

install_github("shinyBS", "ebailey78")

shinyBS was also added to CRAN. You can install the CRAN version with:

install.packages("shinyBS")

For a quick demonstration of shinyBS functionality run the following code at the R prompt:

library(shinyBS)
bsDemo()

What's New

Version 0.25 (working version)

• bsNavDropDown
  • You can now create submenus inside a drop down by making a including lists inside your choices argument list. The submenus are built recursively so theoretically submenus can go as deep as you want
  • You can create headers and dividers in your menus by include NA's in you choices list, a named NA will become a header and an unnamed NA will become a divider.
  • You can create dropdowns with media objects as their options. This is done with the bsMedia() function.
  • I am working on a bsNavDemo() example that will better explain changes to dropdowns.
• bsModal
  • You can now create modal windows with the bsModal() function. These are trigger from a button or link and can contain any combination of inputs, outputs, or standard html.

Version 0.20 (released: 2014-03-19)

• pageWithNavBar

  • I forgot to include the pageWithNavbar function in the NAMESPACE file so it wasn't exported

• Buttons/Button Groups

  • singletons for including shinyBS's javascript and CSS files weren't added when only button functions were included in an app
  • added block argument for creating block level buttons and button groups
  • added vertical argument for creating verically oriented button groups

• Tooltips/Popovers

  • Tooltips and Popovers will now work with the new selectize-type selectInput's in shiny 0.9.0
