The bslib R package provides tools for customizing Bootstrap themes directly from R, making it much easier to customize the appearance of Shiny apps & R Markdown documents. bslib’s primary goals are:

To make custom theming as easy as possible.
Custom themes may even be created interactively in real-time.
Also provide easy access to pre-packaged Bootswatch themes.
Make upgrading from Bootstrap 3 to 4 (and beyond) as seamless as possible. (Shiny and R Markdown default to Bootstrap 3 and will continue to do so to avoid breaking legacy code.)
Serve as a general foundation for Shiny and R Markdown extension packages. (Extensions such as flexdashboard, pkgdown, and bookdown already fully support bslib’s custom theming capabilities.)
