create a shiny app in r

To create a Shiny app in R, follow these steps:

  1. Install the Shiny package in R, if not already installed:
main.r
install.packages("shiny")
26 chars
2 lines
  1. Load the Shiny library:
main.r
library(shiny)
15 chars
2 lines
  1. Write your R code for the app. This can include any R functions, packages or data sets:
main.r
ui <- fluidPage(
  titlePanel("My Shiny App"),
  sidebarLayout(
    sidebarPanel(
      # Input widgets or controls go here
    ),
    mainPanel(
      # Output or display UI elements go here
    )
  )
)

server <- function(input, output) {
  # Server function with reactive expressions
  # that update output based on inputs
}

shinyApp(ui, server)
350 chars
19 lines
  1. The UI function fluidPage is where layout and UI controls or widgets are defined. The server function uses reactive expressions and outputs to allow interactivity and data updates based on user inputs.

  2. Run the app by executing the shinyApp function:

main.r
shinyApp(ui, server)
21 chars
2 lines
  1. View your Shiny app in a web browser at http://127.0.0.1:port, where port is the port number displayed in the R console.

Congratulations, you now have a basic Shiny app running locally! You can customize and enhance your app by adding more UI widgets, server logic and interactivity.
