rinterface-shinylive

Customized version of shinylive for RinteRface packages. Hosted at https://shinylive.rinterface.com.

The purpose is to reuse it in multiple projects as a boilerplate. As an example, one can seamlessly create the app code via the editor, share the URL and insert an iframe in another location to embed the editor.

Notes

Few things have been changed:

• ./shinylive/webr points to https://webr-cran.rinterface.com in ./shinylive/webr/webR/config.d.ts so we can use the RinteRface wasm CRAN for pulling specific packages like {bs4Dash}. Currently the issue is that webR is pulled from npm in the shinylive repository so we have no control over the sources.

• 2 functions for sharing code are modified. We removed ${shortEngine[engine]} from ./shinylive/chunk-....js (see https://github.com/posit-dev/shinylive/blob/main/src/Components/share.ts) since we don't need to switch between Python and R:

function editorUrlPrefix(engine) {
  return `https://shinylive.rinterface.com/editor/`;
}
function appUrlPrefix(engine) {
  return `https://shinylive.rinterface.com/app/`;
}

• app and editor are necessary for the code sharing feature. Don't remove them.

• We don't have an example folder showcasing multiple apps.

• The test folder contains a toy app which was prepared by the R {shinylive} package so we can just copy the app.json to the website root.
