Packaged Examples

Overview

bs4Dashkit ships with three runnable example apps under inst/examples/. These are useful for smoke testing, regression checks, and quick reference when you want to compare package behavior against a known working app.

Included examples

Real Shiny App

The main interactive playground for sidebar brand modes, navbar title alignment, theme presets, footer styling, and live brand controls.

shiny::runApp(system.file("examples", "real-shiny-app", package = "bs4Dashkit"))

Source file:

file.show(system.file("examples", "real-shiny-app", "app.R", package = "bs4Dashkit"))

Sidebar Smoke Test

A compact app focused on the sidebar brand behavior. Use this when you want to quickly verify collapsed labels, hover-expanded labels, and stable sidebar menu item positioning.

shiny::runApp(system.file("examples", "sidebar-smoke-test", package = "bs4Dashkit"))

Source file:

file.show(system.file("examples", "sidebar-smoke-test", "app.R", package = "bs4Dashkit"))

Test All

A heavier end-to-end example that exercises the package more aggressively: centered navbar titles, collapsed text-only branding, icon-only branding, collapsed and expanded text size / weight controls, theme presets, alerts, badges, and footer styling.

shiny::runApp(system.file("examples", "test-all", package = "bs4Dashkit"))

Source file:

file.show(system.file("examples", "test-all", "app.R", package = "bs4Dashkit"))

When to use which

Use real-shiny-app when you want the interactive demo.
Use sidebar-smoke-test when you are debugging sidebar regressions.
Use test-all when you want a broader package-level stress test.
