README

This repo contains demos the D3 for R Users workshop.

The r2d3 is an R package that allows you to embed D3 visualizations inside of your R workflow. You can put D3.js visualizations inside your R markdownd reports, shiny applications, R notebooks, etc.

It does this by import data from R into D3.js scripts. In order to use this package you will need to understand the fundamentals of D3.js. D3.js has a steep learning curve on its own. Ideally you will have an understanding of web fundamentals i.e. HTML, CSS, and beginner level JavaScript. Since r2d3 package allows RStudio to be a web serve it means you can focus on learning the D3.js API.

I've provided a list of resources and examples of me using the r2d3 package in this repo.
