Create Shiny App Shortcut
Description
Creates an executable file that, when ran, will open the co-located shiny app using the user's default internet browser.
Usage
shinyShortcut(shinyDirectory = getwd(), OS = .Platform$OS.type,
gitIgnore = FALSE)
Arguments
shinyDirectory |
The top-level directory containing the code and materials for the shiny application. Also where the final shortcut file will be saved. |
OS |
The operating system that R is being ran on. Must be one of
|
gitIgnore |
If True then all produced files will be added to a
|
Details
Calling shinyShortcut will write an executable file
that will run the shiny app in the user's default browser.
This executable is stored in a created folder named .shiny_run'
whilst a shortcut that will silently run the executable
is saved in the home directory as 'shinyShortcut' (this will
be a .vbs script on windows or a .desktop file on unix systems).
These files can then be linked to from other locations such as the
user's desktop.
