I would like to change the font family of the verbatimTextOutput
to be the same as the input in Shiny and Shinydashboard. Here is an example.
# Load the packages
library(shiny)
library(shinydashboard)
# User Interface
ui <- dashboardPage(
header = dashboardHeader(title = ""),
sidebar = dashboardSidebar(
sidebarMenu(
menuItem(
text = "Example",
tabName = "tab1"
)
)
),
body = dashboardBody(
tabItems(
tabItem(
tabName = "tab1",
fluidRow(
column(
width = 4,
numericInput(inputId = "Number", label = "A numeric input", value = NA),
strong("The same number as the numeric input"),
verbatimTextOutput("Number_out")
)
)
)
)
)
)
server <- function(input, output, session){
output$Number_out <- renderText(as.character(input$Number))
}
# Run the app
shinyApp(ui, server)
By running the app and type in a number, we can see that the font family is different in the numericInput
and the verbatimTextOutput
.
Based on this answer (https://stackoverflow.com/a/48037443/7669809) and this answer (https://stackoverflow.com/a/50784117/7669809), I edited my script as follows.
# Load the packages
library(shiny)
library(shinydashboard)
# User Interface
ui <- dashboardPage(
header = dashboardHeader(title = ""),
sidebar = dashboardSidebar(
sidebarMenu(
menuItem(
text = "Example",
tabName = "tab1"
)
)
),
body = dashboardBody(
tags$head(
tags$style(
HTML(
'#Number_out {
font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;
font-size: 12px;
}'
)
)
),
tabItems(
tabItem(
tabName = "tab1",
fluidRow(
column(
width = 4,
numericInput(inputId = "Number", label = "A numeric input", value = NA),
strong("The same number as the numeric input"),
verbatimTextOutput("Number_out")
)
)
)
)
)
)
server <- function(input, output, session){
output$Number_out <- renderText(as.character(input$Number))
}
# Run the app
shinyApp(ui, server)
But the font family is still not the same.
It seems like I have not used the correct font family yet. Please let me know how I can achieve this.
