How to embed a shiny app in an Rmarkdown html document

I would like to create an html document with RMarkdown containing text, Rcode and somewhere in between a brilliant app.

  • I thought to use asis=TRUE

    for a block shinyApp(ui, server)

    , but RStudio only displays the Rmd file if I add runtime: shiny

    in the YAML header.
  • If I do this, no html is generated, but I can go to the browser view.
  • If I look at the source code in the browser view, I still can't see the entire HTML.
  • If I check the generated temp file, I could not find the html file representing the entire RMarkdown document.

How to generate html code from shinyApp function? Or: how to generate an html file, from RMarkdown containing a brilliant application, not, for example, a plot

Hope you have an idea for me.

I really don't understand what you mean by "brilliant application". If you have already configured your application on the server side, meaning others can evaluate your application via a URL, you can try the following approach.

see https://bookdown.org/yihui/bookdown/web-pages-and-shiny-apps.html , second paragraph



A related function knitr::include_app()

, which is very similar to include_url()

, and was designed to embed shiny apps via their exit URLs.

If I understand your question correctly, maybe the following url could help you:

http://rmarkdown.rstudio.com/authoring_shiny.html

As you can see in the example (above, under Browse), you should include the standard r code snippet in your RMarkdown doc where you can write your shiny code.



You don't need to follow the Shiny skeleton pattern. The only thing to do is add a line runtime: shiny

to the YAML header and publish the file in the .Rmd

usual way.

I hope this is helpful.
