fluidPage: Create a page with fluid layout

Description

Functions for creating fluid page layouts. A fluid page layout consists of rows which in turn include columns. Rows exist for the purpose of making sure their elements appear on the same line (if the browser has adequate width). Columns exist for the purpose of defining how much horizontal space within a 12-unit wide grid it's elements should occupy. Fluid pages scale their components in realtime to fill all available browser width.

Usage

fluidPage(..., title = NULL, responsive = NULL, theme = NULL)
fluidRow(...)

Arguments

...

Elements to include within the page

title

The browser window title (defaults to the host URL of the page). Can also be set as a side effect of the titlePanel function.

responsive

This option is deprecated; it is no longer optional with Bootstrap 3.

theme

Alternative Bootstrap stylesheet (normally a css file within the www directory). For example, to use the theme located at www/bootstrap.css you would use theme = "bootstrap.css".

Value

A UI defintion that can be passed to the shinyUI function.

Details

To create a fluid page use the fluidPage function and include instances of fluidRow and column within it. As an alternative to low-level row and column functions you can also use higher-level layout functions like sidebarLayout.

Examples

Run this code

# NOT RUN {
## Only run examples in interactive R sessions
if (interactive()) {

# Example of UI with fluidPage
ui <- fluidPage(

  # Application title
  titlePanel("Hello Shiny!"),

  sidebarLayout(

    # Sidebar with a slider input
    sidebarPanel(
      sliderInput("obs",
                  "Number of observations:",
                  min = 0,
                  max = 1000,
                  value = 500)
    ),

    # Show a plot of the generated distribution
    mainPanel(
      plotOutput("distPlot")
    )
  )
)

# Server logic
server <- function(input, output) {
  output$distPlot <- renderPlot({
    hist(rnorm(input$obs))
  })
}

# Complete app with UI and server components
shinyApp(ui, server)


# UI demonstrating column layouts
ui <- fluidPage(
  title = "Hello Shiny!",
  fluidRow(
    column(width = 4,
      "4"
    ),
    column(width = 3, offset = 2,
      "3 offset 2"
    )
  )
)

shinyApp(ui, server = function(input, output) { })
}
# }
