Skip to contents

Create a page that contains a top level navigation bar that can be used to toggle a set of nav_panel() elements. Use this page layout to create the effect of a multi-page app, where your app's content is broken up into multiple "pages" that can be navigated to via the top navigation bar.

Usage

page_navbar(
  ...,
  title = NULL,
  id = NULL,
  selected = NULL,
  sidebar = NULL,
  fillable = TRUE,
  fillable_mobile = FALSE,
  gap = NULL,
  padding = NULL,
  position = c("static-top", "fixed-top", "fixed-bottom"),
  header = NULL,
  footer = NULL,
  bg = NULL,
  inverse = "auto",
  underline = TRUE,
  collapsible = TRUE,
  fluid = TRUE,
  theme = bs_theme(),
  window_title = NA,
  lang = NULL
)

Arguments

...

a collection of nav_panel() items.

title

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

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.

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.

fillable_mobile

Whether or not fillable pages should fill the viewport's height on mobile devices (i.e., narrow windows).

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;}")

header

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

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

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.

underline

Whether or not to add underline styling to page links when active or focused.

collapsible

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

fluid

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

theme

A bs_theme() object.

window_title

the browser window title. The default value, NA, means to use any character strings that appear in title (if none are found, the host URL of the page is displayed by default).

lang

ISO 639-1 language code for the HTML page, such as "en" or "ko". This will be used as the lang in the <html> tag, as in <html lang="en">. The default (NULL) results in an empty string.
