Write R Get Apps!

Have you ever wished that creating an app was as easy as calling a function? Now it is!

  1. Write an R function,
  2. pass it to appify,
  3. specify the inputs.

Done. There is your app!

How is this different from Shiny?

Appify and shiny approach building apps from two different points of view.

  • When you use Shiny you start with the goal of creating a specific app. You write R code to achieve that goal.
  • When you use Appifyr you start with R code. You create the app to visualize your function.

To get started go to:

  1. Appifyr Documentation
  2. Demo App - Sepals and Petals

Getting Started

install.packages("remotes")
remotes::install_github("retowyss/appifyr")

To run the app you will need OpenCPU.

install.packages("opencpu")

Then clone the SepalsAndPetals (retowyss/sepals-and-petals) demo application and open the project.

appifyr::build_app()
opencpu::ocpu_start_app("SepalsAndPetals")
