前言
读研期间接触的shiny，直到18年12月份工作需要使用shiny做一些交互式的界面，才系统地整理一些shiny系列的知识点。但shiny部署较为繁琐，而shinydashboard是shiny的一个框架包，对shiny做了封装，界面比shiny更加美观，更容易上手，故这里系统介绍一下shinydashboard的知识点。分以下几部分介绍shinydashboard:
- shinydashboard三要素之一：标题栏Header
- shinydashboard三要素之一：侧边栏Siderbar
- shinydashboard三要素之一：主体Body
- 如何将shinyapp部署到服务器上
- 如何对shinyapp进行加密
shinydashboard简介
shiny包使得用几行R语言代码就可以轻松开发交互式web应用，不需要懂得服务器的配置，也能制作交互式网页。而shinydashboard是shiny的一个框架包，shinydashboard可以理解为对shiny的一个封装，创建一个简易的仪表板，使得shiny的外观布局更加美好。在shiny中有用户界面脚本(a user-interface)和服务器脚本(a server script）两个脚本文件，分别写在ui.R文件和server.R文件中，而在shinydashboard可以将用户界面脚本和服务器脚本封装在一个app.R脚本文件中，app.R脚本中可以通过下面标准化的代码实现：
library(shinydashboard)
shinyApp(
ui = dashboardPage(
dashboardHeader(),
dashboardSidebar(),
dashboardBody()
),
server = function(input, output) { }
)
从上述代码可以看出，shinydashboard由三要素组成：标题栏（Header）、侧边栏（Sidebar）和主体（Body），其实工作中用到的各种系统界面至少都包含这三要素的。下图1为Header，2为Sidebar，3为Body，是不是特别的熟悉。
如何运行shinydashboard
首先新建R脚本，命名为app.R；其次将脚本单独保存在一个文件夹中；最后点击Rstudio界面中的Run App即可发布一个app。
步骤一：新建app.R脚本
步骤二：脚本单独保存在一个文件夹中
步骤三：点击Rstudio界面上的Run App按钮
标题栏Header
标题栏包含标题(title)和下拉菜单(dropdownMenus)，下拉菜单有三种类型：消息菜单（图中1）、通知菜单（图中2）和任务菜单（图中3），可以通过参数 type = c(“messages”, “notifications”, “tasks”)设置，都是可选的。图中红色圈圈主要用于隐藏侧边栏，如果想隐藏侧边栏点击一下即可。标题栏函数为：
dashboardHeader(title = , titleWidth = , disable = ,
dropdownMenu(),...)
参数解释：
title:设置标题
titleWidth：设置标题的宽度，例如titleWidth = 6
disable = TRUE（or FALSE），用于是否显示表头，默认为FALSE，显示表头
dropdownMenu()：用于设置一些下拉单
消息下拉单
假设我们做一个上课考勤表，学生可以登录自己的系统给班主任留言：第一条消息来自Tom，Tom生病了，向班主任请病假，并且加入了href = “http://fontawesome.io/icons/“，点击该条消息，会自动转到Tom就诊的挂号医院，证明自己真的病啦（这里不为任何医院打广告呀，加入的链接是常用icon的网站）；第二条消息来自Marry，Marry是一名刚转来的学生，对班级比较陌生，她告诉班主任她是一名新学生，希望班主任对她多多关照；第三条消息来自Jeans，告诉班主任作业他昨天没有带的数学作业今天已经交啦。badgeStatus = “success”，可以看出消息标识的右上角数字为green颜色。代码为：
dashboardHeader(
title = "Dashboard Demo",
##消息下拉单
dropdownMenu(type = "messages", badgeStatus = "success",
messageItem(from = "Tom",
message = "I'm sick. I ask for leave.",
time = "3 hours",
href = "http://fontawesome.io/icons/"
),
messageItem(from = "Marry",
message = "I am a freshman.",
icon = icon("question"),
time = "2 hours"
),
messageItem(from = "Jeans",
message = "I have handed in my homework.",
icon = icon("life-ring"),
time = "4 hours"
)
))
参数解释：
type：为messages表示这是一个消息下拉单；
badgeStatus：下拉单右上角显示数字的颜色，常用的有：primary为blue,success为green,info为auqa，warning为yellow,danger为red;
from:消息发送者
message:消息内容
icon:设置icon的tag;
time:消息发送时间
href：url链接
badgetStatus：参数对应的颜色为：
上述代码运行结果：
通知下拉单
班主任收到4条通知：通知一：班里转来了5名新学生；通知二：班里粉笔用完了，提醒班主任领取一些粉笔；通知三：班长买了20个笔记本，提醒班主任要给班长报销这个费用；通知四：Mrria修改了登录密码，提醒班主任问一下Mrria，是否她本人操作，账号是否被盗啦，代码为：
dashboardHeader(
title = "Dashboard Demo",
##通知下拉单
dropdownMenu(type = "notifications", badgeStatus = "warning",
notificationItem(icon = icon("users"), status = "info",
text = "5 new members joined today",
href = "https://www.r-project.org/"
),
notificationItem(icon = icon("warning"), status = "danger",
text = "Chalk've run out"
),
notificationItem(icon = icon("shopping-cart", lib = "glyphicon"),
status = "success",
text = "The monitor bought 20 notebooks"
),
notificationItem(icon = icon("user", lib = "glyphicon"),
status = "danger", text = "Mrria changed her password"
)
))
参数解释：
type：为notifications表示这是一个通知下拉单；
badgeStatus：同消息下拉单
icon:同消息下拉单
status:表示每个通知消息的icon的颜色，参数与badgetStatus一致
text：为通知内容
href：url链接
上述代码运行结果：
任务下拉单
今天班主任有4个任务需要完成，收语文、数学、英语和化学作业，进度条表示任务的进展程度。
dashboardHeader(
title = "Dashboard Demo",
##任务下拉单
dropdownMenu(type = "tasks", badgeStatus = "danger",
taskItem(value = 55, color = "aqua",
"Today's Chinese homework has been handed in"
),
taskItem(value = 45, color = "green",
"Today's math homework has been handed in"
),
taskItem(value = 75, color = "yellow",
"Today's English homework has been handed in"
),
taskItem(value = 90, color = "red",
"Chemistry homework has been handed in today"
)
))
参数解释：
type：为tasks表示这是一个任务下拉单；
badgeStatus：同消息下拉单
value:任务进度条
color:表示每个任务进度的颜色，参数见下图
text：为任务内容
href：url链接
color：参数可以设置为：
上述代码运行结果：
总结
标题栏包含标题和下拉菜单，标题直接用参数title设置，下拉单有三种类别：消息、通知和任务下拉单：
dashboardHeader(
title = "",
dropdownMenu(type = , badgeStatus = ,
messageItem(from = ,message = , time = ,href = )),
dropdownMenu(type = , badgeStatus = ,
notificationItem(icon = , status = ,
text = , href = )),
dropdownMenu(type = , badgeStatus = ,
taskItem(value = , color = ,
text = ))
)
完整代码：
library(shinydashboard)
if (interactive()) {
library(shiny)
header <- dashboardHeader(
title = "Dashboard Demo",
dropdownMenu(type = "messages", badgeStatus = "success",
