shinypak

shinypak provides easy access all the Shiny app examples in the Shiny App-Packages book (which are stored in the sap R package).¹ shinypak also has a few helper functions for checking the files and folders in a Shiny app-package.

Installation

You can install the development version of shinypak from GitHub after installing remotes:

install.packages('pak')
pak::pak("mjfrigaard/shinypak", force = TRUE)

library(shinypak)

GitHub authentication

shinypak uses the gert package for Git/GitHub management (and assumes authentication was done automatically using the credentials package).²
