Exercise

Tab layouts

Displaying several tables and plots on the same page can lead to visual clutter and distract users of the app. In such cases, the tab layout comes in handy, as it allows different outputs to be displayed as tabs.

In this exercise, we will start with the Shiny app using the sidebar layout from the last exercise and modify it to use tabs. This exercise should also make it very clear that Shiny makes it really easy to switch app layouts with only a few modifications to the code.

Your final app should visually resemble this:

An app where the name selector appears in the left sidebar, while the graph and table appear as tabs on the right in the main panel

Instructions

  • Modify the layout of this app so that the name selector appears in the sidebar and the plot and table appear as separate tabs on the right. Don't forget to label the tabs!
