I am trying to implement sth like this with shinydashboard: https:\/\/shiny.rstudio.com\/articles\/upload.html<\/a>

Answer 1

Sure - this is possible:

library(shiny)
library(shinydashboard)

ui <- dashboardPage(
  dashboardHeader(title = "Simple tabs"),
  dashboardSidebar(
    sidebarMenu(
      menuItem("Dashboard", fileInput("upload", "Upload"), tabName = "dashboard", icon = icon("dashboard")),
      menuItem("Widgets", icon = icon("th"), tabName = "widgets",
               badgeLabel = "new", badgeColor = "green")
    )
  ),
  dashboardBody(
    tabItems(
      tabItem(tabName = "dashboard",
              h2("Dashboard tab content")
      ),
      
      tabItem(tabName = "widgets",
              h2("Widgets tab content")
      )
    )
  )
)

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

shinyApp(ui, server)
