Every example below runs with one command:
runGlassExample() with no argument lists all available
apps. Source for each app lives under
inst/examples/<name>/app.R in the package repository.
Start with basic; reach for the others when the question is
specific.
| Example | What you learn | Launch |
|---|---|---|
basic |
The smallest complete app: tabs with Overview, Details, Extras, and Final panels | runGlassExample("basic") |
native-comparison |
glasstabs versus built-in Shiny controls, side by side, including a deliberately truncated selected label and live controls for width, tongue motion, labels, search focus, filled colors, and overflow tooltips | runGlassExample("native-comparison") |
server-select |
Server-side glass selects: bounded search over a large choice set | runGlassExample("server-select") |
bslib |
Integration with modern Bootstrap themes, with square corners | runGlassExample("bslib") |
bs4dash |
Dashboard layout integration | runGlassExample("bs4dash") |
dashboard |
A Store Analytics dashboard built with the widgets | runGlassExample("dashboard") |
indicators |
Indicator styles, vertical orientation, and automatic theming | runGlassExample("indicators") |
light-mode |
Light themes and long labels: a bright, everyday app showing adaptive dropdown sizing | runGlassExample("light-mode") |
theme-switcher |
Dynamic theming: one switch flips every select between dark and light, with long labels, wide text in a narrow phone frame, and a bottom-of-page dropdown that must flip above the field | runGlassExample("theme-switcher") |
connect-workflow |
A deployable Posit Connect workflow showing responsive layouts, keyboard and touch interaction, dynamic tabs, badges, themes, and the page wrapper | runGlassExample("connect-workflow") |
smoke-test |
A broad widget smoke test across Overview, Details, Admin, and Compare panels | runGlassExample("smoke-test") |
square-corners |
Square-corner styling as a smoke test | runGlassExample("square-corners") |
stress-test |
Diagnostic, not a starter template. Pushes both selects to their limits, including a 100,000-choice set and complex interaction scenarios — use it to check performance and edge cases, not to copy for ordinary apps | runGlassExample("stress-test") |

bslib, then dashboard for a full-page
example.server-select for bounded search, stress-test
for the upper limits (diagnostic only).light-mode, then theme-switcher to watch one
