## Boxes components

`{shinydashboardPlus}` brings tons of new elements to include in boxes or elsewhere. Some of them has partially been described in the previous vignette.

### Description Block

`descriptionBlock()` is a sub-container that may be included in any `box()`. It is convenient to display metrics.

Code

    library(shiny)
    library(shinydashboard)
    library(shinydashboardPlus)
     shinyApp(
      ui = dashboardPage(
        dashboardHeader(),
        dashboardSidebar(),
        dashboardBody(
         box(
          solidHeader = FALSE,
          title = "Status summary",
          background = NULL,
          width = 4,
          status = "danger",
          footer = fluidRow(
            column(
              width = 6,
              descriptionBlock(
                number = "17%",
                numberColor = "green",
                numberIcon = icon("caret-up"),
                header = "$35,210.43",
                text = "TOTAL REVENUE",
                rightBorder = TRUE,
                marginBottom = FALSE
              )
            ),
            column(
              width = 6,
              descriptionBlock(
                number = "18%",
                numberColor = "red",
                numberIcon = icon("caret-down"),
                header = "1200",
                text = "GOAL COMPLETION",
                rightBorder = FALSE,
                marginBottom = FALSE
              )
            )
          )
         )
        ),
        title = "Description Block"
      ),
      server = function(input, output) { }
     )
