miniUI

Provides UI widget and layout functions for writing Shiny apps that work well on small screens. Designed to work especially well for creating Shiny Gadgets.

Inspired by the lovely Ratchet CSS framework, though currently miniUI doesn't use any of Ratchet's CSS code.

Installing

devtools::install_github("rstudio/miniUI")

Getting started

Example

ui <- miniPage(
  gadgetTitleBar("Shiny gadget example"),
  miniTabstripPanel(
    miniTabPanel("Parameters", icon = icon("sliders"),
      miniContentPanel(
        sliderInput("year", "Year", 1978, 2010, c(2000, 2010), sep = "")
      )
    ),
    miniTabPanel("Visualize", icon = icon("area-chart"),
      miniContentPanel(
        plotOutput("cars", height = "100%")
      )
    ),
    miniTabPanel("Map", icon = icon("map-o"),
      miniContentPanel(padding = 0,
        leafletOutput("map", height = "100%")
      ),

        actionButton("resetMap", "Reset")
