Will Build R Shiny Apps for Food

If you build the skills, where can you find the work?

We love app development, but we can’t do it over the long term for free!

There is no doubt that R Shiny has utility. There are some wonderful applications you can build to provide a website with interactive options that enlighten the user.

This app allows users to explore a dataset through various visualizations. You can easily change up what is on the X axis or Y axis with drop-downs.

# Code chunk 1: Load packages and data
library(shiny)
library(ggplot2)
library(datasets)

# Load Iris dataset
data(iris)

# UI definition
ui <- fluidPage(
  # Sidebar for selecting variables
  sidebarLayout(
    sidebarPanel(
      selectInput("x", "X Variable:", names(iris)),
      selectInput("y", "Y Variable:", names(iris))
    ),
    mainPanel(
      plotOutput("scatterPlot")
    )
  )
)

# Server logic
server <- function(input, output) {
  # Code chunk 2: Update plot based on user selections
  output$scatterPlot <- renderPlot({
    ggplot(iris, aes_string(x = input$x, y = input$y)) +
      geom_point() +
      labs(title = "Interactive Scatter Plot")
  })
}

# Run the app
shinyApp(ui = ui, server = server)
