Feature request: Add AdminLTE Control Sidebar

[zichner]

It would be really great to have the AdminLTE Control Sidebar in Shiny Dashboard. This sidebar is placed on the right, overlaying the main window and can easily be shown/hidden. It is ideal for settings.

For more details, please see https://adminlte.io/themes/AdminLTE/index2.html and https://adminlte.io/docs/2.4/control-sidebar

Thank you very much!

PS: @bborgesr We briefly discussed this at the useR2017 meeting

I have a basic implementation of this control side bar in https://github.com/billspat/shinydashboard with an example here: https://github.com/billspat/shinydashboard/blob/master/tests-manual/renderControlSidebarMenu.R It can render from UI or from server-side like the other menus. I haven't tried implementing tabs, or form fields, just a simple menu with headertext for the menu and headers/p tags for each item. If this looks useful, I would love to contribute but not sure how.

just to chime in with another use case: I'm looking for a good place where users may upload or select data (which might all be run through the same shinydashboard app).

The existing sidebar feels awkward for that, because it's about navigation. Header only allows three classes of notifications, non of which really make any sense here.

So, I'm just a huge +1.

fantastic work, as is 😸
