Building a Simple Web App using R I’ve been interested in building a web app using R for a while, but never put any time into it until I was informed of the Shiny package. It looked too easy, so I absolutely had to try it out. First you need to install the package from the command line . options(repos=c(RStudio=" getOption("repos"))) install.packages("shiny") The version in the tutorial uses a two R files, won the front end(ui.R) and the other being the server side (server.R). For the data, I’m using MLS (home sales) data for Philadelphia, which I’ve been sitting on for quite a while. At first, I had the server.R try to do everything within the reactive function, but it literally took minutes to load a new graph. Once the data is saved, the structure of the UI and Server can be defined. The server side was a little more complicated, but once all the data was defined outside of the reactive function it went very smoothly. For a cleaner version of the final code, go to my git hub here.
