CSS Animations for 'shiny' Button Elements.

hover

The goal of hover is to add animations to shiny::actionButton, shiny::downloadButton, and shiny::icon using Hover.css. Additionally, a button to refresh web browser is also included.

Installation

Install the released version of hover from CRAN:

install.packages("hover")

Or install the development version from GitHub with:

# install.packages("devtools")
devtools::install_github("r4fun/hover")

Example

Animate a button and icon by providing the animation name:

library(shiny)
library(hover)

ui <- fluidPage(
  use_hover(),
  hover_action_button(
    inputId = "btn",
    label = "hello hover!",
    icon = icon("refresh"), 
    button_animation = "rotate", 
    icon_animation = "spin"
  ) 
)

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

shinyApp(ui, server)

The hover package essentially takes the shiny::actionButton source code and applies the necessary Hover.css classes to make things move.

Acknowledgements

This package was built using the following tools:

• Hover.css, the underlying CSS
• shiny, the source code for hover_button

Without these, this package wouldn’t have been possible.
