R Shiny Notes
Shiny App Demo: https://mmajestic.shinyapps.io/wsop-cashes/
R Shiny is an R framework for building web applications. One of the best practices in R Shiny development is to use modules, which help streamline your ui and server files. The benefits of using modules include:
Cleaner Code: Modules help organize code, making it more readable and maintainable.Simpler Collaboration: Smaller, modular files make it easier for multiple developers to work together.Easier Debugging: Debugging smaller modules is more straightforward than debugging a large, monolithic server file.
Modules Example
To see an example of this structure, review the following files in a basic web scraping project for Poker Cashes across WSOP Circuits:
ui.R: Sources the wsop_ui function to create the UI components.server.R: Sources the wsop_server function to handle server logic.global.R: loop through the modules directory to have the functions in R’s global.modules/wsop_ui.R: Defines the UI elements for the module.modules/wsop_server.R: Implements the server-side logic for the module.
JavaScript Example
There is a simple snowstorm.js in the www directory that is then enabled in modules/wsop_ui.R with tags$head(tags$script(src = "snowstorm.js")) that adds a snowfall effect to the page via JavaScript.
To further interact with JS from R Shiny, shinyjs can be used to do an action like
observeEvent(input$stop_btn, {
runjs("stopSnowstorm();")
updateActionButton(session, "stop_btn", label = "Stopped SnowStorm Javascript")
})
