Overview of this book

Web Application Development with R Using Shiny helps you become familiar with the complete R Shiny package. The book starts with a quick overview of R and its fundamentals, followed by an exploration of the fundamentals of Shiny and some of the things that it can help you do. You’ll learn about the wide range of widgets and functions within Shiny and how they fit together to make an attractive and easy to use application. Once you have understood the basics, you'll move on to studying more advanced UI features, including how to style apps in detail using the Bootstrap framework or and Shiny's inbuilt layout functions. You'll learn about enhancing Shiny with JavaScript, ranging from adding simple interactivity with JavaScript right through to using JavaScript to enhance the reactivity between your app and the UI. You'll learn more advanced Shiny features of Shiny, such as uploading and downloading data and reports, as well as how to interact with tables and link reactive outputs. Lastly, you'll learn how to deploy Shiny applications over the internet, as well as and how to handle storage and data persistence within Shiny applications, including the use of relational databases. By the end of this book, you'll be ready to create responsive, interactive web applications using the complete R (v 3.4) Shiny (1.1.0) suite.

Integrating Shiny with HTML

So, we built our own application to explore the Gapminder data. You learned about the basic setup of a Shiny application and saw a lot of the widgets. It will be important to remember this basic structure because we are going to cover a lot of different territories in this chapter and, as a consequence, we won't have a single application at the end, as we did in the previous chapter, but lots of bits and pieces that you can use to start building your own content.

Building one application with all of these different concepts would create several pages of code, and it would be difficult to understand which part does what. As you go through the chapter, you might want to rebuild the Gapminder application, or another one of your own (if you have one), using each of the concepts. If you do this, you will have a beautifully styled and interactive application...
