Shiny Tip

My tips for RShiny applications

Basics

• if you - like me - create hacky shiny applications¹ use options(warn=-1)
• create an app.R with subscripts ui.R and server.R
• in this app.R call in your packages:

library(shinyjs)
library(shiny)
library(shinythemes)
library(ggplot2); theme_set(theme_linedraw())
library(tidyr)

More information

• check out a working example² at https://sap218.shinyapps.io/fashun_app/ or check the code in the repo
• don't hesitate to create an issue if you have a question, or email me :-)
• most of my tips come from working with clinical data that can't downloaded locally and so needs a lot of server interaction

Footnotes

1. don't worry the code isn't terrible, it works but i use df$age in ggplot aes() which shows a lot of warnings ↩

2. or maybe you would like to read the blod i wrote about it ↩
