Reproducing and Testing the App

To reproduce and test the app:

1. Ensure you have cloned the repository and opened the .Rproj file in RStudio as described above.

2. Load the required libraries by running the following in the RStudio Console:

   install.packages(c("shiny", "tidyverse", "here", "crosstalk", "plotly", "janitor", "sf", "leaflet", "DT"))

3. Source the functions and data by running:

   source("code/functions.R")

4. Run the app by executing:

   shiny::runApp()
