Custom Gov Style Inputs for Shiny.
shinyGovstyle
Apply Gov styled components and formats in shiny
Overview
This package provides some custom widgets to style your app like gov.uk. There are a variety of widgets available, including select, radio, checkboxes as well as styling for headers and footers.
To view details of gov.uk components please visit https://design-system.service.gov.uk/. Most components from https://design-system.service.gov.uk/components/ are available to use through this package.
Installation :
install.packages("shinyGovstyle")
This is also available on conda
conda install r-shinygovstyle
If you want to make use of the development then
remotes::install_github("moj-analytical-services/shinyGovstyle")
To use error and word count elements you will need to load useShinyjs from shinyjs in the UI:
shinyjs::useShinyjs()

Gov style layout
Create a gov style look to the page with a header, footer, font and layout:
ui <- fluidPage(
#font(),
shinyGovstyle::header("Justice", "Prototype", logo="shinyGovstyle/images/moj_logo.png"),
gov_layout(size = "full",
tags$br(),
tags$br(),
tags$br(),
tags$br(),
tags$br()
),
footer(TRUE)
)
server <- function(input, output, session) {}
Note: You can only use gov.uk font on service.gov.uk (see https://design-system.service.gov.uk/styles/typography/)
Banner
Add a banner to the header to state in beta or alpha :
ui <- fluidPage(
shinyGovstyle::header("Justice", "Prototype", logo="shinyGovstyle/images/moj_logo.png"),
banner("banner", "beta", 'This is a new service – your <a class="govuk-link" href="#">feedback</a> will help us to improve it.'),
gov_layout(size = "full",
tags$br(),
tags$br(),
tags$br(),
tags$br(),
tags$br()
),
footer(TRUE)
)
server <- function(input, output, session) {}
Radio button
Create a gov style radio button :
radio_button_Input(inputId = "name_changed", label = "Have you changed your name?",
choices = c("Yes", "No"), inline = TRUE,
hint_label = "This includes changing your last name or spelling your name differently.")
Checkbox
Turn checkboxes into gov style ones :
checkbox_Input(
inputId = "checkID",
cb_labels = c("Waste from animal carcasses", "Waste from mines or quarries", "Farm or agricultural waste"),
checkboxIds = c("op1", "op2", "op3"),
label = "Which types of waste do you transport?",
hint_label = "Select all that apply.")
Note that you currently access the values separately through the inputIds you supply or all values through the main inputID.
Button
Gov style button with different styles :
shinyGovstyle::button_Input(inputId = "btn1", label = "default"),
shinyGovstyle::button_Input(inputId = "btn1", label = "start", type = "start"),
shinyGovstyle::button_Input(inputId = "btn1", label = "secondary", type = "secondary"),
shinyGovstyle::button_Input(inputId = "btn1", label = "warning", type = "warning")
Select
Gov style drop down select :
shinyGovstyle::select_Input(
inputId = "sorter",
label = "Sort by",
select_text = c("Recently published", "Recently updated", "Most views", "Most comments"),
select_value = c("published", "updated", "view", "comments"))
Date
Gov style date input :
date_Input(
inputId = "date1",
label = "What is your date of birth?",
hint_label = "For example, 31 3 1980")
Note that you currently access the individual values by adding an affix of _day, _month and _year or the full date in dd/mm/yy by using the inputID.
File input
Gov style file input component :
file_Input(inputId = "file1", label = "Upload a file")
Text input
Gov style text input component :
text_Input(inputId = "txt1", label = "Event name")
Text area input
Gov style text area input component :
text_area_Input(
inputId = "text_area",
label = "Can you provide more detail?",
hint_label = "Do not include personal or financial information, like your National Insurance number or credit card details.")
You can also add a word count to the options, which requires an additional argument in the server :
ui <- fluidPage(
shinyjs::useShinyjs(),
shinyGovstyle::header("Justice", "", logo="shinyGovstyle/images/moj_logo.png"),
gov_layout(size = "full",
text_area_Input(
inputId = "text_area",
label = "Can you provide more detail?",
hint_label = "Do not include personal or financial information, like
your National Insurance number or credit card details.",
word_limit = 300)
),
footer(TRUE)
)
# Define server logic required to draw a histogram
server <- function(input, output, session) {
observeEvent(input$text_area,
word_count(inputId = "text_area", input = input$text_area, word_limit = 300)
)
}
Warning
Gov style warning component :
warning_text(inputId = "warn", text = "You can be fined up to £5,000 if you do not register.")
Insert text
Gov style insert text component :
insert_text(inputId = "insertId",
text = "It can take up to 8 weeks to register a lasting power of attorney
if there are no mistakes in the application.")
Details
Gov style details component :
details(
inputId = "detID",
label = "Help with nationality",
help_text = "We need to know your nationality so we can work out which elections you’re
entitled to vote in. If you cannot provide your nationality, you’ll have to
send copies of identity documents through the post.")
Panel

panel_output(
inputId = "panId",
main_text = "Application complete",
sub_text = "Your reference number <br> <strong>HDJ2123F</strong>")
Notification Banner

noti_banner(
"notId",
title_txt = "Important",
body_txt = Example text,
type = "standard"
)
Accordion
Gov style accordion component :
accordion(
"acc1",
c("Writing well for the web",
"Writing well for specialists",
"Know your audience",
"How people read"
),
c("This is the content for Writing well for the web.",
"This is the content for Writing well for specialists.",
"This is the content for Know your audience.",
"This is the content for How people read."
))
Table
Gov style table component :
Months <- c("January", "February", "March")

Gov style tabs component :
# Create an example dataset
tabs <- c(rep("Past Day", 3),
rep("Past Week", 3),
rep("Past Month", 3),
rep("Past Year", 3))
Case_manager <- rep(c("David Francis", "Paul Farmer", "Rita Patel"),4)
Cases_open <- c(3, 1, 2, 24, 16, 24, 98, 122, 126, 1380, 1129, 1539)
Cases_closed <- c(0, 0, 0, 18, 20, 27, 95, 131, 142, 1472, 1083, 1265)
data <- data.frame(tabs, Case_manager, Cases_open, Cases_closed)
ui <- fluidPage(
shinyGovstyle::header(
main_text = "Example",
secondary_text = "User Examples",

"07700 900457 <br> [email protected]")
ui <- fluidPage(
shinyGovstyle::header(

#Needs shinyjs to work
shinyjs::useShinyjs(),
shinyGovstyle::cookieBanner("The best thing"),
shinyGovstyle::gov_layout(size = "two-thirds"),
shinyGovstyle::footer(full = TRUE)
)
server <- function(input, output, session) {
#Need these set of observeEvent to create a path through the cookie banner
observeEvent(input$cookieAccept, {
shinyjs::show(id = "cookieAcceptDiv")
shinyjs::hide(id = "cookieMain")
})
observeEvent(input$cookieReject, {
shinyjs::show(id = "cookieRejectDiv")
shinyjs::hide(id = "cookieMain")
})
observeEvent(input$hideAccept, {

})
observeEvent(input$hideReject, {
shinyjs::toggle(id = "cookieDiv")
})
observeEvent(input$cookieLink, {

#updateTabsetPanel to have a cookie page for instance
})
}
shinyApp(ui = ui, server = server)
Tags
Add a gov style tag component :
shinyGovstyle::tag_Input("tag1", "COMPLETE"),
shinyGovstyle::tag_Input("tag2", "INCOMPLETE", "red")
Error
Add errors to components when not filled in correctly. Most components have an option to add :

shinyGovstyle::header("Justice", "", logo="shinyGovstyle/images/moj_logo.png"),
gov_layout(size = "full",

),
footer(TRUE)
)
server <- function(input, output, session) {
err <<- FALSE
observeEvent(input$btn1,{
if (err) {
err <<- FALSE
error_off("text_area")
}
else {
err <<- TRUE
error_on("text_area", "You have an error")
}
}
)
}
Example Version
You can run an example dashboard. This is very rough and will be improved.
