# bslib



The `bslib` R package provides a modern UI toolkit for [Shiny](https://shiny.posit.co/) and [R Markdown](https://rmarkdown.rstudio.com/) based on [Bootstrap](https://getbootstrap.com/). It facilitates:



* Creation of delightful and customizable [Shiny dashboards](https://rstudio.github.io/bslib/articles/dashboards.html).

  * The underlying UI components (e.g., [cards](https://rstudio.github.io/bslib/articles/cards.html), [value boxes](https://rstudio.github.io/bslib/articles/value-boxes.html), [sidebars](https://rstudio.github.io/bslib/articles/sidebars.html), etc) are also designed to work in other contexts (e.g., in R Markdown).

* [Custom theming](https://rstudio.github.io/bslib/articles/theming.html) of Shiny apps and R Markdown documents.

  * Apps can even be themed interactively in real-time.

* Use of modern versions of Bootstrap and [Bootswatch](https://bootswatch.com/)

  * Shiny and R Markdown currently default to Bootstrap 3 and may continue to do so to maintain backwards compatibility.



## Installation



Install the `bslib` package from CRAN as follows:



```r

install.packages("bslib")

```



## An example



The quickest way to see what `{bslib}` can do is to run `bslib::bs_theme_preview()` at the console. This launches a demo app containing both `{bslib}` and `{shiny}` UI components as well as an theming widget (`bslib::bs_themer()`) overlaid on the app. See [real-time theming](https://rstudio.github.io/bslib/articles/theming.html#real-time) to learn more.



```{r, echo = FALSE}

#| fig.alt: >

#|   An animation showing bslib theming app. As the user changes the Bootswatch

#|   theme and Bootstrap settings, the app's appearance changes in real-time.

knitr::include_graphics("vignettes/theming/themer.gif")

```



## Get started



Since `{bslib}` covers a wide array of uses, it has numerous getting started articles, each focusing on a particular interest:



* [Shiny dashboards](https://rstudio.github.io/bslib/articles/dashboards.html)

* [Any Bootstrap project](https://rstudio.github.io/bslib/articles/any-project.html)

* [Theming](https://rstudio.github.io/bslib/articles/theming.html)



## Getting help



There are two main places to get help with `bslib`:



+ The [RStudio community](https://forum.posit.co/) is a friendly place to ask any questions (be sure to add a `bslib` tag when creating a topic).



+ [Stack Overflow](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/tagged/bslib) is a great source of answers to common `bslib` questions. It is also a great place to get help, once you have created a reproducible example that illustrates your problem. Use the tags [`[r][bslib]`](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/tagged/bslib+r) if you ask a question. Add the tag `[bslib]` if you are using a Shiny runtime.
