Overview – Next Generation Shiny Apps with {bslib}
Shiny
Shiny is a package that makes it easy to create interactive web apps using R and Python.
Shiny was designed with an emphasis on distinct input and output components in the UI. Inputs send values from the client to the server, and when the server has values for the client to display, they are received and rendered by outputs.
You want the server to trigger logic on the client that doesn’t naturally relate to any single output.
You want the server to update a specific (custom) output on the client, but not by totally invalidating the output and replacing the value, just making a targeted modification.
You have some client JavaScript that isn’t related to any particular input, yet wants to trigger some behavior in R. For example, binding keyboard shortcuts on the web page to R functions on the server, or alerting R when the size of the browser window has changed.
