flexdashboard 0.6.3

CRAN release: 2026-01-28

  • flexdashboard now prevents top margin from being applied to boxes created with flexdashboard’s markdown syntax when Bootstrap 5 is used. (#443)

  • Allow using theme.preset without needing to set theme.bootswatch to null. (#444)

  • Closed #459: Fixed lost braces in certain rendering scenarios (@eliocamp).

flexdashboard 0.6.2

CRAN release: 2023-08-11

New features

  • flexdashboard now supports icons for navigation dropdown menus. Pages are created with level-1 headings and can be added to a dropdown menu with the data-navmenu attribute. You can now also assign an icon to this dropdown menu by providing a data-navmenu-icon attribute, using the same icon selections as described in Page Icons. (#419)

  • Improved support for page selection in navigation dropdown menus in Bootstrap 5. (#421)

Minor improvements and fixes

  • Fixed #411: Improved support for Bootstrap 5 to ensure correct handling of the active dashboard page. (#418)

  • Fixed #234: Use the correct social sharing link for Facebook.

  • Fixed #102: knitr’s collapse chunk option now works as expected. This fix also ensures that other knitr options that modify the chunk option, like class.chunk and others are applied correctly. (#428)

flexdashboard 0.6.1

CRAN release: 2023-01-23

  • Closed #398: The logo is now positioned to the left (instead of the right) of the title (regression introduced by 0.6.0).

flexdashboard 0.6.0

CRAN release: 2022-08-05

This release adds integration with the new {bslib} package, making it much easier to customize the overall appearance of the dashboard (and/or upgrade to Bootstrap 4). See the new website’s new article on theming to learn more.

Possibly breaking changes

  • The smart argument was removed from flexdashboard::flex_dashboard since it was removed in rmarkdown 2.2 (relatedly, we now require rmarkdown 2.2 or higher). (#301)
  • The window.FlexDashboard.themeColor JavaScript object property is no longer available. Resolving of theming accent colors should now be done server-side via bslib’s dynamic theming tools. (#305)

Improvements & fixes

  • Close #343: Fix an issue with order of dependencies with shiny_prerendered following previous changes in rmarkdown - rstudio/rmarkdown#2064. (#344)

  • Closed #315, #321, and #286: DT::datatable() now fills its container correctly inside of flexdashboard::flex_dashboard(). (#322)

  • Closed #310: An .active class may now be added to a particular .tabset tab to control which tab is shown by default. (#311)

  • Closed #306: A .tabset-pills class may now be added to .tabset to render pills instead of tabs. (#307)

  • Closed #297, #254: gauge() now uses justgage.js 1.4.0, allowing renderGauge() to properly update various labels and sectors on redraw. (#301)

  • Closed #300: When a custom bslib theme is provided to flex_dashboard, gauge() and viewBox() now generate default styles to match it. (#301, #305)

  • Closed #227: Fixed a bug with source_code: embed producing errors because code wasn’t being escaped before being included in HTML. (#228, thanks @cderv)

  • Added padding to the top of the sidebar. (#294)
