Getting Started

Introduction

We need to load the following packages:

library(argonR)
library(htmltools)
library(magrittr)

Installing assets

To install all mandatory CSS and javascript files run the following command

argonInstall()

By default, the path corresponds the the current working directory (getwd()) but you can change it. In the following, make sure to generate html pages in the same directory!

Generate a Page

argonPage

Below is an example of a very basic HTML page:

 argonPage(
  title = "ArgonR Static Template",
  author =  "Somebody",
  description = "HTML Static Template",
  navbar = NULL,
  footer = NULL
 )

which generate the following HTML:

Code

<html>
  <meta charset="utf-8"/>
  <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1, shrink-to-fit=no"/>
  <meta name="description" content="HTML Static Template"/>
  <meta name="author" content="Somebody"/>
  <title>ArgonR Static Template</title>
  <link href="inst/assets/img/brand/favicon.png" rel="icon" type="image/png"/>
  <link href="https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Open+Sans:300,400,600,700" rel="stylesheet"/>
  <link href="inst/assets/vendor/nucleo/css/nucleo.css" rel="stylesheet"/>
  <link href="inst/assets/vendor/font-awesome/css/font-awesome.min.css" rel="stylesheet"/>
  <link type="text/css" href="inst/assets/css/argon.min.css" rel="stylesheet"/>
  <body>
    <header class="header-global"></header>
    <main></main>
    <script src="inst/assets/vendor/jquery/jquery.min.js"></script>
    <script src="inst/assets/vendor/popper/popper.min.js"></script>
    <script src="inst/assets/vendor/bootstrap/bootstrap.min.js"></script>
    <script src="inst/assets/vendor/headroom/headroom.min.js"></script>
    <script src="inst/assets/vendor/onscreen/onscreen.min.js"></script>
    <script src="inst/assets/js/argon.min.js"></script>
  </body>
</html>

This template is however empty, so not very interesting. Moreover, there are missing elements that will prevent it from being correctly rendered.

Insert a navbar

Surprisingly, we need the argonNavbar() function, see below:

Code

navbar <- argonNavbar(
  id = "main-navbar",
  src = "https://demos.creative-tim.com/argon-design-system/assets/img/brand/white.png",
  # left menu
  argonNavMenu(
    argonDropdown(
      name = "Components",
      size = "lg",
      argonDropdownItem(
        name = "Getting Started",
        description = "Blabla",
        src = "",
        icon = argonIcon("spaceship", color = "white"),
        status = "primary"
      ),
      argonDropdownItem(
        name = "Foundation",
        description = "Blabla",
        src = "",
        icon = argonIcon("palette", color = "white"),
        status = "warning"
      ),
      argonDropdownItem(
        name = "Components",
        description = "Blabla",
        src = "",
        icon = argonIcon("ui-04", color = "white),
        status = "success"
      )
    )
  ),
  # right menu
  argonNavMenu(
    side = "right",
    argonNavItem(
      name = "facebook",
      src = "https://www.facebook.com",
      icon = icon("facebook-square"),
      tooltip = "Like us on Facebook"
    ),
    argonNavItem(
      name = "instagram",
      src = "https://www.instagram.com",
      icon = icon("instagram"),
      tooltip = "Follow us on Instagram"
    ),
    argonNavItem(
      name = "twitter",
      src = "https://www.twitter.com",
      icon = icon("twitter-square"),
      tooltip = "Follow us on Twitter"
    ),
    argonNavItem(
      name = "github",
      src = "https://www.github.com",
      icon = icon("github"),
      tooltip = "Star us on Github"
    )
  )
 )

The argonNavbar() function accepts argonNavMenu(), which in turns takes argonNavItem() and argonDropdown().

Insert the footer

We need the argonFooter() function:

Code

footer <- argonFooter(
  has_card = FALSE,
  argonContainer(
    size = "lg",
    argonRow(
      argonColumn(
        width = 6,
        argonIconWrapper(
          iconTag = argonIcon("atom"),
          size = "lg",
          status = "success",
          shadow = TRUE,
          hover_shadow = TRUE
        ),
        argonH1(
          display = 3,
          "Insert anything in the footer"
        ),
        argonLead(
          "The Arctic Ocean freezes every winter and much of 
          the sea-ice then thaws every summer, and that process 
          will continue whatever"
        )
        ),
      argonColumn(
        width = 6,
        argonCarousel(
          width = 12,
          id = "carousel2",
          argonCarouselItem(
            src = "http://www.72pxdesigns.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/preview-814162.png",
            active = TRUE
          ),
          argonCarouselItem(
            src = "http://www.72pxdesigns.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/preview-814162.png",
            active = FALSE
          )
        )
      )
    )
  )
 )

In general, footer elements are wrapped in several argonSection().

Fill the body

All body elements must be wrapped in a argonSection(), for instance:

body <- argonSection(
  size = "lg",
  status = "default",
  gradient = TRUE,
  separator = TRUE,
  separator_color = "white",
  shape = TRUE,
  argonColumn(
    argonRow(
      argonColumn(
        width = 6,
        argonH1(
          display = 3, 
          "ArgonR, HTML static template for R", 
          htmltools::span("completed with examples")
        ) %>% argonTextColor(color = "white"),
        argonLead(
          "Argon is a great free UI package based on Bootstrap 
          4 that includes the most important components and features"
        ) %>% argonTextColor(color = "white")
        ),
      argonColumn(
        width = 6,
        argonImage(
          src = "inst/images/imac.svg",
          floating = TRUE
        ) %>% argonPersp(side = "right")
        %>% argonBlur()
      )
    )
  )
)

Create the template

# generate the page
 example <- argonPage(
  title = "ArgonR Static Template",
  author =  "Somebody",
  description = "HTML Static Template",
  navbar = navbar,
  footer = footer,
  # main content
  body
 )

 # create the path
 path <- getwd()

 # generate the static page
 argonPageTemplate(filename = "example", path = path, argonPage = example)

While the first part is responsible for creating the page skeleton, the argonPageTemplate() function provides additional treatments to make it run without shiny. The view argument enable whether to preview the page or not.

Example

Below is a fully working example:

Code

# This examples show how to create a simple static html page using argonR
library(argonR)
library(htmltools)
library(magrittr)

tabText1 <- "Raw denim you probably haven't heard of them jean shorts Austin. 
            Nesciunt tofu stumptown aliqua, retro synth master cleanse. Mustache 
cliche tempor, williamsburg carles vegan helvetica. Reprehenderit 
butcher retro keffiyeh dreamcatcher synth. Raw denim you probably 
haven't heard of them jean shorts Austin. Nesciunt tofu stumptown

tabText2 <- "Cosby sweater eu banh mi, qui irure terry richardson ex squid.
