descriptionBlock creates a description block, perfect for writing statistics to insert in a box.

boxPad creates a vertical container for descriptionBlock. It has to be included in a box.

maximizable

If TRUE, the card can be displayed in full screen mode.

action

Action to trigger: c("remove", "toggle", "toggleMaximize", "restore", "update").

options

If action is update, a list of new options to configure the box, such as list(title = "new title", status = NULL, solidHeader = FALSE, background = "red", width = 6, height = "200px", collapsible = FALSE, closable = FALSE).

session

Shiny session.
