Welcome to the workshop! We'll introduce you to the basics behind Shiny, an easy to use web application framework in R. We'll learn the basics by building a data exploration app piece by piece.
- Getting the basics down
- What are reactives for?
- Observe/isolate/update
- (A) Tooltips and graph interactivity
- (B, optional) Tooltips the plotly way
- Bringing it all together
You will need a laptop with RStudio installed. Additionally, you will need the following packages installed:
install.packages(c("fivethirtyeight", "shiny", "tidyverse"))
If you want to use plotly in app 04B (which is optional), you'll also need to install it:
install.packages("plotly")
Open up the tutorial at http://laderast.github.io/gradual_shiny. There's more info on getting started in there.
I'd love to hear any suggestions on what people thought worked and didn't work for the workshop. Add comments to this issue!
