Introduction R Shiny

This document introduces R Shiny, which allows users to build interactive web applications directly from R without using HTML, JavaScript, or web programming. It provides examples of basic Shiny apps, including random number generation histograms and widget controls like sliders and dropdowns. More advanced features like tabsets with multiple panels are also demonstrated. The document encourages readers to create their own Shiny apps with their data and deploy them to web servers.

Hello Shiny
ui.R

shinyUI(pageWithSidebar(( headerPanel, sidebarPanel, mainPanel))


server.R shinyServer(function(input, output) {})

4 | Presentation title | Presenter name

Hello Shiny: ui.R headerPanel("Hello Shiny!") sidebarPanel(sliderInput("obs", "Number of observations:", min = 1, max = 1000, value = 500) ) mainPanel(plotOutput("distPlot") )

5 | Presentation title | Presenter name

Hello Shiny: server.R


output$distPlot <- renderPlot({ dist <- rnorm(input$obs) hist(dist) })

6 | Presentation title | Presenter name

Running Web Apps (Local Browser)


library(shiny)
runApp("folder_name") runExample() runExamples("01_hello") runExamples("07_widgets")

7 | Presentation title | Presenter name

Widgets: ui.R headerPanel("More Widgets") sidebarPanel( selectInput("dataset", "Choose a dataset:", choices = c("rock", "pressure", "cars")), numericInput("obs", "Number of observations to view:", 10), helpText("Blah Blah Blah Blah"), submitButton("Update View"))
8 | Presentation title | Presenter name

Widgets: ui.R mainPanel( h4("Summary"), verbatimTextOutput("summary"), h4("Observations"), tableOutput("view") )

9 | Presentation title | Presenter name

Widgets: server.R
datasetInput <- reactive({ switch(input$dataset, "rock" = rock, "pressure" = pressure, "cars" = cars) }) output$summary <- renderPrint({ dataset <- datasetInput() summary(dataset) }) output$view <- renderTable({ head(datasetInput(), n = input$obs) })

10 | Presentation title | Presenter name

Tabsets: ui.R headerPanel("Tabsets") sidebarPanel(


radioButtons("dist", "Distribution type:", list("Normal"="norm", "Uniform" ="unif", "Lognormal" = "lnorm", "Exponential" = "exp")), br(), sliderInput("n", "Number of observations:", value = 500, min = 1, max = 1000) )

11 | Presentation title | Presenter name

Tabsets: ui.R mainPanel( tabsetPanel( tabPanel("Plot", plotOutput("plot")), tabPanel("Summary", verbatimTextOutput("summary")), tabPanel("Table", tableOutput("table")) ))

12 | Presentation title | Presenter name

Tabsets: server.R
data <- reactive({ dist <- switch(input$dist, norm = rnorm, unif = runif, lnorm = rlnorm, exp = rexp, rnorm); dist(input$n) })
output$plot <- renderPlot({ dist <- input$dist; n <input$n; hist(data(), main=paste0('r', dist, '(', n, ')')) }) output$summary <- renderPrint({ summary(data()) }) output$table <- renderTable({ data.frame(x=data()) })

Conclusion
Have a go with your own data Put your application on a web server Send everyone the links: http://spark.rstudio.com/alec/fire/ http://spark.rstudio.com/alec/snet/
