ThinkTenessee State of the Counties Dashboard

Repository Structure

This repo consists of the following directories:

• /data/ is a backup of all the data sources used throughout. It is not directly referenced by the Shiny app, or the PDF templates; it just exists as a store of files for convenience.
• /docs/ contains the PDF report templates, plus the resources.R script that I used to generate the final PDFs using the templates.
  • Each subdirectory (county-summary-pdf/, one-county-all-metrics/, etc.) contains the Quarto report template (the .qmd file), the data used therein (/data/), as well as some aesthetic / theming resources (/www/, etc.)
  • Note that each report is first rendered to an .html file, and are then saved as PDFs using the chrome_print() function from the {pagedown} package.
• /renv/ and renv.lock are used by the {renv} package for R to maintain a consistent development environment.
• /think-tn-map/ is the Shiny application itself.
  • server.R is the "behind the scenes" server logic of the Shiny app.
  • ui.R is the user interface of the Shiny app.
  • /data/ contains copies of the source data.
  • /www/ contains aesthetic / themeing files for the map site.
• .Rprofile, .gitignore, and think-tn-map.Rproj are miscellaneous R / git helper files.
• LICENSE has the license for the software (it's using the GNU General Public License, which is a very permissive open source license)
• README.md is this file.
