Description

It would be great if we could change the look and location of the collapse icon for sidebars. More specifically I think it would be good if we could

  • change the icon
  • change the location of the icon

Maybe the sidebar could have an argument icon similar to many Shiny components. For the location, I think options of 'top', 'middle', and 'bottom' would suit most people's needs.

Example usage:

layout_sidebar(
  sidebar = sidebar("Sidebar"),
  icon = icon("bars"),
  icon_position = "top",
  "Main contents"
)

Research direction

Start by tracing the existing sidebar collapse behavior exposed through layout_sidebar() and sidebar(). Determine where the collapse icon and its placement are defined, then verify that callers can select a custom icon and the top, middle, or bottom positions; done means each option renders correctly without changing the default behavior.
