Footer

dash_footer() creates a bs4Dash::bs4DashFooter() with an optional logo image, a main text label (left_text), and a right-side label (right_text, default: today’s date).

The logo and main text can be independently positioned on the left or right side of the footer bar. The right_text is always rendered on the right side.

Arguments

Argument	Type	Default	Description
`logo_src`	`character` or `NULL`	—	Path to logo image (relative to `www/`). Set `NULL` for no logo.
`left_text`	`character`	(required)	Left footer text. If `NULL` or empty, no main text is rendered.
`right_text`	`character`	`format(Sys.Date(), "%B %d, %Y")`	Text on the opposite side (often a date/version)
`logo_position`	`"left"` or `"right"`	`"left"`	Which side the logo appears on
`text_position`	`"left"` or `"right"`	`"left"`	Which side the text appears on
`logo height`	`numeric`	`20`	Logo height in pixels
`fixed`	`logical`	`TRUE`	Fixed footer at the bottom

Default — logo left, text left

dash_footer(
  logo_src  = "logo.png",
  left_text = "My Org",
  right_text = NULL #no text is rendered on the right
)

To include version/date, you can try:


dash_footer(
  logo_src = "logo.png",
  left_text = "My Org",
  logo_position = "right"
)

Logo right, text left

dash_footer(
  logo_src       = "logo.png",
  left_text      = "Your Organisation",
  logo_position  = "right"
)

Both logo and text on the right

dash_footer(
  logo_src = "logo.png",
  left_text = "My Org",
  logo_position = "right"
)

No logo

Set logo_src = NULL to suppress the image entirely. This is the right choice when you have no logo asset or want a plain, minimal footer. A NULL value avoids a broken-image placeholder in the rendered page.

dash_footer(
  logo_src  = NULL,
  left_text = "Your Organisation \u2022 2025"
)

dash_footer(
  left_text = NULL,
  right_text = "Internal Use Only",
  logo_src = NULL
)

The bullet character (\u2022) is a compact separator commonly used in footer text — e.g. "NYS DOH \u2022 Internal Use Only".

Custom right-side text

Use right_text for a version, environment label, or static date:

dash_footer(
  logo_src   = "logo.png",
  left_text  = "Your Organisation",
  right_text = "v0.1.0"
)

Placement

dash_footer() is passed directly to the footer argument of bs4DashPage(). It should not be placed inside bs4DashBody().

library(shiny)
library(bs4Dash)
library(bs4Dashkit)

ttl <- dash_titles("My App")

ui <- bs4DashPage(
  title   = ttl$app_name,
  header  = bs4DashNavbar(title = ttl$brand),
  sidebar = bs4DashSidebar(),
  body    = bs4DashBody(
    use_bs4Dashkit_core(ttl)
  ),
  footer  = dash_footer(
    logo_src  = NULL,
    left_text = "Your Organisation \u2022 Internal Use Only"
  )
)

server <- function(input, output, session) {}
shinyApp(ui, server)

Logo image path

The logo_src path is resolved relative to your app’s www/ folder. For a logo at www/assets/logo.png use:

dash_footer(logo_src = "assets/logo.png", left_text = "My Org")

Avoid windows file paths like

# Don't do this (file path will not load in the browser):
dash_footer(logo_src = "C:/Users/.../logo.png", left_text = "My Org")

For apps bundled as a package (e.g. with addResourcePath()), use the path as exposed by the resource prefix, not the file-system path.
