To share it with the world it will need to be deployed to a server running R.

This tutorial runs a Shiny app on your computer. library(golem) is particularly helpful for creating modular Shiny apps. Furthermore, if you find yourself writing very large and complicated Shiny apps, then look into ‘modularizing Shiny code’. This does not change the functionality but allows to better organise your code. As of today, we can safely tell that it has become the de-facto tool for web application in the R world. Almost anybody can get a small Shiny App in a matter of minutes, provided they have a basic knowledge of R. It is possible to separate app.R into two separate scripts: ui.R and server.R. Shiny is an amazing tool when it comes to creating web applications with R. More about getting started with Shiny can found here: You now understand the basic skeleton - that there is a user interface (ui) and a server. STEP 5 (optional): Add animate = TRUE inside sliderInput(). You now have a fully functioning Shiny app and all you had to do was wrap your beautiful plot code inside some ()s, add a sliderInput(), and replace 2007 with input$year. Press Control+Shift+Enter or the “Run App” button. Gapminder %>% filter(year = input $year) %>% ggplot( aes(y = lifeExp, x = continent)) +.
