CSS Grid and flexbox layouts for R/Shiny

Imola (named after the first city ever to be given a technical blueprint by Leonardo da Vinci) aims at giving more layout creation options directly in R/shiny, without the hassle of having to create custom CSS every time.

CSS Layouts in shiny, made simple

Leverage typical CSS layout techniques (grid and Flexbox) directly in your UI functions, including support for media breakpoints to fit different screen sizes and devices.

Use built in templates, or create your own

Save your favorite layouts for later use via the templating system and reuse them as many times as you need.

If layout creation isn’t your thing, imola comes with a built in collection of templates for traditionally used web layouts, making it even easier to spice up your dashboards!
