You can now build a useful Shiny app, but can you share it with others? This lesson will show you several ways to share your Shiny apps.
When it comes to sharing Shiny apps, you have two basic options:
Share your Shiny app as R scripts. This is the simplest way to share an app, but it works only if your users have R on their own computer (and know how to use it). Users can use these scripts to launch the app from their own R session, just like you’ve been launching the apps so far in this tutorial.
Share your Shiny app as a web page. This is definitely the most user friendly way to share a Shiny app. Your users can navigate to your app through the internet with a web browser. They will find your app fully rendered, up to date, and ready to go.
Shiny apps are easy to share. You can share your app as a couple of R scripts, or as a fully functioning web app with its own URL. Each method has its own advantages.
You learned:
runUrl
, runGitHub
, and runGist
make it simple to share and retrieve Shiny files from web links.Congratulations. You’ve worked through the entire Shiny development process. You can build a sophisticated, reactive app, deploy it, and share it with others. Users can interact with your data and follow your stories in a new way.
The next step is to practice, and then explore the advanced features of Shiny.
The Shiny Dev Center can help you along the way. It hosts a gallery of inspiring apps, along with the code that makes the apps.
The Shiny Dev Center also includes an articles section for continuing education. Each article examines an intermediate to advanced Shiny topic in depth.
You now know enough to build your own Shiny apps. See what you can do!
