Arguments

...

a collection of nav_panel() items.

id

a character string used for dynamically updating the container (see nav_select()).

selected

a character string matching the value of a particular nav_panel() item to selected by default.

header

UI element(s) (htmltools::tags) to display above the nav content.

footer

UI element(s) (htmltools::tags) to display below the nav content.

well

TRUE to place a well (gray rounded rectangle) around the navigation list.

fluid

TRUE to use fluid layout; FALSE to use fixed layout.

widths

Column widths of the navigation list and tabset content areas respectively.

title

A (left-aligned) title to place in the card header/footer. If provided, other nav items are automatically right aligned.

sidebar

A sidebar() component to display on every nav_panel() page.

fillable

Whether or not to allow fill items to grow/shrink to fit the browser window. If TRUE, all nav_panel() pages are fillable. A character vector, matching the value of nav_panel()s to be filled, may also be provided. Note that, if a sidebar is provided, fillable makes the main content portion fillable.

gap

A CSS length unit defining the gap (i.e., spacing) between elements provided to ....

padding

Padding to use for the body. This can be a numeric vector (which will be interpreted as pixels) or a character vector with valid CSS lengths. The length can be between one and four. If one, then that value will be used for all four sides. If two, then the first value will be used for the top and bottom, while the second value will be used for left and right. If three, then the first will be used for top, the second will be left and right, and the third will be bottom. If four, then the values will be interpreted as top, right, bottom, and left respectively.

position

Determines whether the navbar should be displayed at the top of the page with normal scrolling behavior ("static-top"), pinned at the top ("fixed-top"), or pinned at the bottom ("fixed-bottom"). Note that using "fixed-top" or "fixed-bottom" will cause the navbar to overlay your body content, unless you add padding, e.g.: tags$style(type="text/css", "body {padding-top: 70px;}")

bg

a CSS color to use for the navbar's background color.

inverse

Either TRUE for a light text color or FALSE for a dark text color. If "auto" (the default), the best contrast to bg is chosen.

collapsible

TRUE to automatically collapse the navigation elements into an expandable menu on mobile devices or narrow window widths.

height

Any valid CSS unit (e.g., height="200px"). Doesn't apply when a card is made full_screen (in this case, consider setting a height in card_body()).

full_screen

If TRUE, an icon will appear when hovering over the card body. Clicking the icon expands the card to fit viewport size.

wrapper

A function (which returns a UI element) to call on unnamed arguments in ... which are not already card item(s) (like card_header(), card_body(), etc.). Note that non-card items are grouped together into one wrapper call (e.g. given card("a", "b", card_body("c"), "d"), wrapper would be called twice, once with "a" and "b" and once with "d").

placement

placement of the nav items relative to the content.

Examples

A basic example

This first example creates a simple tabbed navigation container with two tabs. The tab name and the content of each tab are specified in the nav_panel() calls and navset_tab() creates the tabbed navigation around these two tabs.

library(htmltools)

navset_tab(
  nav_panel(title = "One", p("First tab content.")),
  nav_panel(title = "Two", p("Second tab content."))
)

In the rest of the examples, we'll include links among the tabs (or pills) in the navigation controls.

link_shiny <- tags$a(shiny::icon("github"), "Shiny", href = "https://github.com/rstudio/shiny", target = "_blank")
link_posit <- tags$a(shiny::icon("r-project"), "Posit", href = "https://posit.co", target = "_blank")

navset_tab()

You can fully customize the controls in the navigation component. In this example, we've added a direct link to the Shiny repository using nav_item(). We've also included a dropdown menu using nav_menu() containing an option to select a third tab panel and another direct link to Posit's website. Finally, we've separated the primary tabs on the left from the direct link and dropdown menu on the right using nav_spacer().

navset_tab(
  nav_panel(title = "One", p("First tab content.")),
  nav_panel(title = "Two", p("Second tab content.")),
  nav_panel(title = "Three", p("Third tab content")),
  nav_spacer(),
  nav_menu(
    title = "Links",
    nav_item(link_shiny),
    nav_item(link_posit)
  )
)

navset_pill()

navset_pill() creates a navigation container that behaves exactly like navset_tab(), but the tab toggles are pills or button-shaped.

navset_pill(
  nav_panel(title = "One", p("First tab content.")),
  nav_panel(title = "Two", p("Second tab content.")),
  nav_panel(title = "Three", p("Third tab content")),
  nav_spacer(),
  nav_menu(
    title = "Links",
    nav_item(link_shiny),
    nav_item(link_posit)
  )
)

navset_underline()

navset_underline() creates a navigation container that behaves exactly like navset_tab() and navset_pill(), but the active/focused navigation links are styled with an underline.

navset_underline(
  nav_panel(title = "One", p("First tab content.")),
  nav_panel(title = "Two", p("Second tab content.")),
  nav_panel(title = "Three", p("Third tab content")),
  nav_spacer(),
  nav_menu(
    title = "Links",
    nav_item(link_shiny),
    nav_item(link_posit)
  )
)

navset_card_tab()

The tabbed navigation container can also be used in a card() component thanks to navset_card_tab(). Learn more about this approach in the article about Cards, including how to add a shared sidebar to all tabs in the card using the sidebar argument of navset_card_tab().

navset_card_tab(
  nav_panel(title = "One", p("First tab content.")),
  nav_panel(title = "Two", p("Second tab content.")),
  nav_panel(title = "Three", p("Third tab content")),
  nav_spacer(),
  nav_menu(
    title = "Links",
    nav_item(link_shiny),
    nav_item(link_posit)
  )
)

navset_card_pill()

Similar to navset_pill(), navset_card_pill() provides a pill-shaped variant to navset_card_tab(). You can use the placement argument to position the navbar "above" or "below" the card body.

navset_card_pill(
  placement = "above",
  nav_panel(title = "One", p("First tab content.")),
  nav_panel(title = "Two", p("Second tab content.")),
  nav_panel(title = "Three", p("Third tab content")),
  nav_spacer(),
  nav_menu(
    title = "Links",
    nav_item(link_shiny),
    nav_item(link_posit)
  )
)

navset_card_underline()

navset_card_underline() provides a card-based variant of navset_underline().

navset_card_underline(
  nav_panel(title = "One", p("First tab content.")),
  nav_panel(title = "Two", p("Second tab content.")),
  nav_panel(title = "Three", p("Third tab content")),
  nav_spacer(),
  nav_menu(
    title = "Links",
    nav_item(link_shiny),
    nav_item(link_posit)
  )
)

navset_pill_list()

Furthermore, navset_pill_list() creates a vertical list of navigation controls adjacent to, rather than on top of, the tab content panels.

navset_pill_list(
  nav_panel(title = "One", p("First tab content.")),
  nav_panel(title = "Two", p("Second tab content.")),
  nav_panel(title = "Three", p("Third tab content")),
  nav_spacer(),
  nav_menu(
    title = "Links",
    nav_item(link_shiny),
    nav_item(link_posit)
  )
)

page_navbar()

Finally, page_navbar() provides full-page navigation container similar to navset_underline() but where each nav_panel() is treated as a full page of content and the navigation controls appear in a top-level navigation bar. Note also that the underline styling can be removed via the underline argument.

page_navbar(
  title = "My App",
  bg = "#0062cc",
  underline = TRUE,
  nav_panel(title = "One", p("First tab content.")),
  nav_panel(title = "Two", p("Second tab content.")),
  nav_panel(title = "Three", p("Third tab content")),
  nav_spacer(),
  nav_menu(
    title = "Links",
    align = "right",
    nav_item(link_shiny),
    nav_item(link_posit)
  )
)

nav_panel(), nav_panel_hidden() create panels of content.

nav_menu(), nav_item(), nav_spacer() create menus, items, or space in the navset control area.

nav_insert(), nav_remove() programmatically add or remove nav panels.

nav_select(), nav_show(), nav_hide() change the state of a nav_panel() in a navset.
