Have you ever wished that creating an app was as easy as calling a function? Now it is!
- Write an R function,
- pass it to
appify, - 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:
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")
