menuItem [[: subscript out of bounds error

[ugurdar]

Hi there,

When I used old version (2.2.1) I haven't got this error but when I updated the package this error has occured.

Warning: Error in [[: subscript out of bounds
  80: <Anonymous>
  79: menuItem
  71: home_page$ui 

When I use this it's working.

remove.packages("bs4Dash")
packageurl <- "https://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/Archive/bs4Dash/bs4Dash_2.2.1.tar.gz"
install.packages(packageurl, repos=NULL, type="source")

My sidebar function is:

sidebar = dashboardSidebar(
      minified = TRUE,
      sidebarMenu(id = ns('tabs'),
                  menuItem('Bank Deep Dive', tabName = 'bank_deep_dive',

When I commented this part it's also working but I didn't understand where it comes from.

Hi,

Like for {shinydashboard}, the menuItem() function has been thought to accept menuSubItem(). In the above example, sometimes, you pass in other menuItem() which likely fails.

From a practical point of view, do you need all these menus? This seems to be a lot from a UX perspective and I am afraid end users can get lost. I would perhaps merge few items together and create sub-sections directly in the dashboard body.

As another alternative, {bs4Dash} 2.3.0 (CRAN) supports navbar menus with unlimited nested structure:

library(shiny)
 library(bs4Dash)
 
 tabs <- tabItems(.list = lapply(1:7, function(i) {
  tabItem(tabName = sprintf("Tab%s", i), sprintf("Tab %s", i))
 }))
 
 shinyApp(
   ui = dashboardPage(
     header = dashboardHeader(
       navbarMenu(
         id = "navmenu",
         navbarTab(tabName = "Tab1", text = "Tab 1"),
         navbarTab(tabName = "Tab2", text = "Tab 2"),
         navbarTab(
           text = "Menu",
           dropdownHeader("Dropdown header"),
           navbarTab(tabName = "Tab3", text = "Tab 3"),
           dropdownDivider(),
           navbarTab(
             text = "Sub menu",
             dropdownHeader("Another header"),
             navbarTab(tabName = "Tab4", text = "Tab 4"),
             dropdownHeader("Yet another header"),
             navbarTab(tabName = "Tab5", text = "Tab 5"),

Any news about the old behaviour where menuItem accepted other menuItems?
I have not a so complicated sidebar as the first example but looks better than using navbar

sidebarMenu(
  id      = 'sidebarmenu',
  flat    = FALSE,
  compact = TRUE,
  legacy  = FALSE,
  menuItem(tabName = 'about', text = 'About', icon = icon('circle-info')),
  menuItem(
    text = 'My apps',
    icon = icon('bars'),
    menuItem(
      text = 'App 1',
      icon = icon('arrow-right'),
      menuSubItem(tabName = 'app1-1', text = 'App 1-1', icon = icon('arrow-right')),
      menuSubItem(tabName = 'app1-2', text = 'App 1-2', icon = icon('arrow-right')),
      menuSubItem(tabName = 'app1-3', text = 'App 1-3', icon = icon('arrow-right'))
    ),
    menuItem(
      text = 'App 2',
      icon = icon('arrow-right'),
      menuSubItem(tabName = 'app2-1', text = 'App 2-1', icon = icon('arrow-right')),
      menuSubItem(tabName = 'app2-2', text = 'App 2-2', icon = icon('arrow-right')),
      menuSubItem(tabName = 'app2-3', text = 'App 2-3', icon = icon('arrow-right'))
    )
  )
)

Same problem here:

library(shiny)
library(bs4Dash)

# UI ----------------------------------------------------------------------

ui <- dashboardPage(
  #dark = T,
  header = dashboardHeader(title = "Test Shiny"),
  sidebar = dashboardSidebar(
    inputId = "sidebarState",
    skin = "dark",
    sidebarMenu(
      id = "sidebar",
      menuItem(text = "Home",tabName = "home"),
      menuItem(text = "CDG", tabName = "cdg",
               menuItem(text = "Variabili Produttive",tabName = "VP",
                       menuItem(text = "VP Domanda",tabName = "vp_domanda",
                                menuSubItem(text = "a",tabName = "vp_domanda_a"),
                                menuSubItem(text = "b",tabName = "vp_domanda_b"),
                                menuSubItem(text = "c",tabName = "vp_domanda_c")),
                       menuItem(text = "VP Offerta",tabName = "vp_offerta")),
               menuItem(text = "Indicatori",tabName = "indic"))
    )
  ),

  body = dashboardBody()
)

# Server ------------------------------------------------------------------


server <-  function(input, output) { 
  
  }



# Run App -----------------------------------------------------------------


# Run the application 
shinyApp(ui = ui, server = server)

Error in subItems[[i]] : subscript out of bounds

The catch is that if I run the same code with shinydashboard instead of bs4Dash it runs flawlessly.
