Generate a showcase dashboard demonstrating all dashboardr features.

This function creates and renders a comprehensive showcase dashboard that demonstrates the full breadth of the dashboardr package. It includes multiple visualization types, tabset grouping, standalone charts, and various page layouts.

Usage

showcase_dashboard(directory = "showcase_dashboard", open = "browser")

Arguments

directory: Character string. Directory where the dashboard files will be created. Defaults to "showcase_dashboard". Quarto will render HTML to directory/docs/.
open: Logical or character. Whether to open the dashboard after rendering. Use TRUE or "browser" to open in browser (default), FALSE to not open. Default is "browser".

Value

Invisibly returns the dashboard_project object.

Details

The showcase dashboard uses General Social Survey (GSS) data to demonstrate:

Multiple tabset groups (Demographics, Politics, Social Issues)
Stacked bar charts with custom styling
Heatmaps with custom color palettes
Standalone charts without tabsets
Text-only pages with card layouts
Mixed content pages (text + visualizations)
Custom icons throughout
All advanced dashboard features

This dashboard is more comprehensive than the tutorial dashboard and showcases the full power of dashboardr for creating complex, multi-page dashboards.
