This directory contains the âmarkdownInputâ package for the R programming language. This package is a R-Shiny module providing a Shiny input to write some markdown code and to preview the result. This input has been inspired by the âcommentâ window of https://github.com/.
InstallationTo install this package, the easiest is to directly install the package from GitHub:
In your R
console:
install.package("devtools")
devtools::install_github("juliendiot42/markdownInput")
Once the package is installed, start using it:
In your R
console:
library(markdownInput)
help(package=markdownInput)
Example
Once you have downloaded the package, you can run an example app:
In your R
console:
markdownInput::runExample()
Usage UI
In the UI part of your app you should call the markdownInput
function.
For example:
ui <- fluidPage(titlePanel("Markdown input"),
sidebarLayout(
# inputs:
sidebarPanel(
markdownInput(
"mdInputID",
label = "Write your text",
value = "Write some _markdown_ **here:**"
)
),
# outputs:
mainPanel(
h3("Raw value of the input:"),
verbatimTextOutput("rawResult"))
))
Server
You can access to the inputâs value in the server side by calling the module:
server <- function(input, output, session) {
# myText is a reactive variable containing the raw markdown text
myText <- callModule(moduleMarkdownInput, "mdInputID")
# show "myText"
output$rawResult <- renderPrint({
print(myText())
})
}
