file.edit('config.yml')

## Step 2 : Create app.R for your application
params <- config::get(file = "config.yml") # load params
shinyspring::create_shinyapp(params = params )
shinyspring::test_config_file(params)


## Step 3 : Launch the App
shiny::runApp()

Step 4 : After testing the basic app launch you can now create your custom module for you application with shinyspring::create_module("my_custom_module") . Implement the module
Step 5 : Adjust config.yml to add menu’s and leverage pre-built / tested sweetmods that can be used in your app in a plug and play manner . The power of shinyspring is in the reuse of sweetmods.
