icon function

Create an icon

Create an icon for use within a page. Icons can appear on their own, inside of a button, and/or used with tabPanel() and navbarMenu().

icon(name, class = NULL, lib = "font-awesome", ...)

Arguments

• name: The name of the icon. A name from either Font Awesome (when lib="font-awesome") or Bootstrap Glyphicons (when lib="glyphicon") may be provided. Note that the "fa-" and "glyphicon-" prefixes should not appear in name (i.e., the "fa-calendar" icon should be referred to as "calendar"). A name of NULL may also be provided to get a raw <i> tag with no library attached to it.
• class: Additional classes to customize the style of an icon (see the usage examples for details on supported styles).
• lib: The icon library to use. Either "font-awesome" or "glyphicon".
• ...: Arguments passed to the <i> tag of htmltools::tags .

Returns

An <i> (icon) HTML tag.

Examples

# add an icon to a submit button
submitButton("Update View", icon = icon("redo"))

navbarPage("App Title",
  tabPanel("Plot", icon = icon("bar-chart-o")),
  tabPanel("Summary", icon = icon("list-alt")),
  tabPanel("Table", icon = icon("table"))
)
