infoBox: Create an info box for the main body of a dashboard.

In shinydashboard: Create Dashboards with 'Shiny'

Create an info box for the main body of a dashboard.

Description

An info box displays a large icon on the left side, and a title, value (usually a number), and an optional smaller subtitle on the right side. Info boxes are meant to be placed in the main body of a dashboard.

Usage

infoBox(
  title,
  value = NULL,
  subtitle = NULL,
  icon = shiny::icon("bar-chart"),
  color = "aqua",
  width = 4,
  href = NULL,
  fill = FALSE
)

Arguments

title	Title text.
value	The value to display in the box. Usually a number or short text.
subtitle	Subtitle text (optional).
icon	An icon tag, created by shiny::icon().
color	A color for the box. Valid colors are listed in validColors.
width	The width of the box, using the Bootstrap grid system. This is used for row-based layouts. The overall width of a region is 12, so the default valueBox width of 4 occupies 1/3 of that width. For column-based layouts, use NULL for the width; the width is set by the column that contains the box.
href	An optional URL to link to.
fill	If FALSE (the default), use a white background for the content, and the color argument for the background of the icon. If TRUE, use the color argument for the background of the content; the icon will use the same color with a slightly darkened background.
