Create a value box component for a dashboard.

A value box displays a value (usually a number) in large text, with a smaller caption beneath, and a large icon on the right side.

valueBox(value, caption = NULL, icon = NULL, color = NULL, href = NULL)

Arguments

value	The value to display in the box. Usually a number or short text.
caption	The caption to display beneath the value.
icon	An icon for the box (e.g. "fa-comments")
color	Background color for the box. This can be one of the built-in background colors ("primary", "info", "success", "warning", "danger") or any valid CSS color value.
href	An optional URL to link to. Note that this can be an anchor of another dashboard page (e.g. "#details").
