Make Rmarkdown and Shiny apps fullscreen

Archived see shinyfullscreen

fullscreen

Allow making R markdown documents, Shiny apps, or specific element of these documents or app fullscreen.

Installation

Get it from Github.

# install.packages("remotes")
remotes::install_github("JohnCoene/fullscreen")

Examples

Use fsButton to create a button that makes the application fullscreen. This works in both Rmarkdown and Shiny.

library(shiny)
library(fullscreen)

ui <- fluidPage(
	h1("Hello fullscreen"),
	fsButton("Make fullscreen")
)

server <- function(...){}

shinyApp(ui, server)

You can customise the tag used for the button (default <a>) with the .tag argument, e.g.: .tag = actionButton. You can also create a link (instead of a button) with fsLink.

By default the entire page/app is made fullscreen. You can also make specific elements fullscreen with the .target argument.

library(shiny)
library(fullscreen)

ui <- fluidPage(
	h1("Hello fullscreen"),
	fsButton("Make fullscreen", .target = "plot"),
	plotOutput("plot")
)

server <- function(input, output, session){
	output$plot <- renderPlot(plot(cars))
}

shinyApp(ui, server)

You can also use the server with the fs_server function. This, of course, only works in Shiny.

library(shiny)
library(fullscreen)

ui <- fluidPage(
	h1("Hello fullscreen"),
	actionButton(
		"fs",
		"Fullscreen via server"
	)
)

server <- function(input, output, session){
	observeEvent(input$fs,{
		fs_server()
	})
}

shinyApp(ui, server)
