pkgdown integration?

[capellett]

Sorry if this is obvious, but how would I incorporate a shinylive app into a pkgdown website on GitHub pages?

I'm trying to give non-coders easy access to data in this repo: https://capellett.github.io/scpopulation/index.html

I've built the app ui and server functions in the R/ folder, and I have an app.R file in the root folder, and a GitHub action:

usethis::use_github_action( url="https://github.com/posit-dev/r-shinylive/blob/actions-v1/examples/deploy-app.yaml")

...but, is there a way to set up the app as one of the "articles" in package down?

Would you mind opening PR in your repo with the code you have so far? This feels very much within the realm of possibility, but I haven't tried it myself yet and can't give you great advice. If I have time to look into it, I might as well poke around with your example 😉

All the code I have so far is in the main branch. Except for the use_github_action() command above, I ran that in the console.

Thanks for responding, I hope you have a moment to take a look. . . I hope I'm not being dense about this Pull Request Request, since everything I have is in the main, I'm not sure how to create a proper pull request. I created an issue, in my package, if that helps at all.

Thanks again

You might also want to try out the roxy.shinylive package: https://insightsengineering.github.io/roxy.shinylive/

AFAICT this works by encoding the app into a shinylive.io share string, and so I don't know how well it would work for large apps or apps that use custom packages or data. You might have to load data using download.file(...) where ... is a raw GitHub URL of the form https://raw.githubusercontent.com/...
