Rnightly

The goal of Rnightly is to implement a Dark/Light toggle mode in your Shiny user interface. You can also change the default behavior by specifying other colors.

Installation

You can install the development version of Rnightly from Github with :

# install.packages("remotes")

remotes::install_github("feddelegrand7/Rnightly")

The Rnightly has two functions:

Examples

Let’s create a basic shiny app that demonstrates the features of Rnightly. Here the trigElement will determine which shiny element will trigger the Dark/Light mode. Note that it’s the only mandotry argument:


library(shiny)
library(Rnightly)



ui <- fluidPage(
  
  use_nightly(), # Activating nightlyjs
  
  h3("Click on the button below to toggle between a Dark/Light mode"), 
  
  actionButton(inputId = "btn", label = "Button"), 
  
  nightly(trigElement = "btn") # Make sure to provide the same id

)



server <- function(input, output){}


shinyApp(ui, server)

You can specify any Shiny element to toggle your Dark/Light mode, maybe a plot ?


library(shiny)
library(Rnightly)



ui <- fluidPage(
  
  use_nightly(), # Activating nightlyjs
  
  h3("Click on the Plot to toggle between a Dark/Light mode"), 
  
  plotOutput(outputId = "plt"), 
  
  nightly(trigElement = "plt") 

)



server <- function(input, output){
  
  
output$plt <- renderPlot({
  
  
  plot(mtcars)
  
})  
  
  
}


shinyApp(ui, server)

Now the cool part. Instead of Dark, using the bodyColor argument you can change the color that will be displayed when toggling:


library(shiny)
library(Rnightly)



ui <- fluidPage(
  
  use_nightly(), 
  
  h3("Click on the button below to toggle between a Purple/Light mode"), 
  
  actionButton(inputId = "btn", label = "Button"), 
  
  nightly(trigElement = "btn", bodyColor = "#6d6875") 
  
)



server <- function(input, output){}


shinyApp(ui, server)

You can also change the text color when toggling :


library(shiny)
library(Rnightly)



ui <- fluidPage(
  
  use_nightly(), 
  
  h3("Click on the button below to toggle between a Purple/Light mode"), 
  
  actionButton(inputId = "btn", label = "Button"), 
  
  nightly(trigElement = "btn", bodyColor = "#6d6875", txtColor = "#fb5607") 
  
)



server <- function(input, output){}


shinyApp(ui, server)

Further, you can set the text color within Shiny inputs that will be displayed after toggling :


library(shiny)
library(Rnightly)



ui <- fluidPage(
  
  use_nightly(), 
  
  h3("Click on the button below to toggle between a Purple/Light mode"), 
  
  actionButton(inputId = "btn", label = "Button"),
  
  br(), br(), br(), 
  
  textInput(inputId = "txt1", label = "Type some text here"),
  
  nightly(trigElement = "btn", 
          bodyColor = "#6d6875", 
          txtColor = "#fb5607", 
          inpTxtColor = "lightblue") 
  
)



server <- function(input, output){}


shinyApp(ui, server)

Finally, you can change the background color of Shiny inputs after toggling :


library(shiny)
library(Rnightly)



ui <- fluidPage(
  
  use_nightly(), 
  
  h3("Click on the button below to toggle between a Purple/Light mode"), 
  
  actionButton(inputId = "btn", label = "Button"),
  
  br(), br(), br(), 
  
  textInput(inputId = "txt1", label = "Type some text here"),
  
  nightly(trigElement = "btn", 
          bodyColor = "#6d6875", 
          txtColor = "#fb5607", 
          inpTxtColor = "lightblue", 
          inpBgColor = "#f07167") 

)



server <- function(input, output){}


shinyApp(ui, server)
