How to create interactive documents and reports in R language?

To create interactive documents and reports, you can use the Shiny package in the R language. Shiny is a package in R that allows users to interact with data through a web interface, enabling the building of interactive web applications.

Here are the general steps for creating interactive documents and reports:

1. To install the Shiny package: First make sure you have installed the Shiny package, you can use the following command to install the Shiny package:

install.packages("shiny")

1. Create Shiny applications: Develop a Shiny application with interactive elements such as sliders, checkboxes, and buttons. Utilize Shiny’s UI and Server functions to design the user interface and back-end logic for the application.
2. To run a Shiny application: To run a Shiny application in RStudio, you can start the application by clicking the “Run App” button or running the following command.

library(shiny)
runApp("path/to/your/application")

1. To view the application in a web browser: After running the application, the URL of the application will be displayed in RStudio’s Viewer. Copy this URL and open it in a web browser to see interactive documents and reports.

By following the above steps, you can create interactive documents and reports in R using the Shiny package, allowing for interaction with data.
