What About Dash?
Dash for R is an open-source framework for building analytical applications, with no Javascript required, and it is tightly integrated with the Plotly graphing library.
Learn about how to install Dash for R at https://dashr.plot.ly/installation.
Everywhere in this page that you see fig
, you can display the same figure in a Dash for R application by passing it to the figure
argument of the Graph
component from the built-in dashCoreComponents
package like this:
library(plotly)
fig <- plot_ly()
# fig <- fig %>% add_trace( ... )
# fig <- fig %>% layout( ... )
library(dash)
library(dashCoreComponents)
library(dashHtmlComponents)
app <- Dash$new()
app$layout(
htmlDiv(
list(
dccGraph(figure=fig)
)
)
)
app$run_server(debug=TRUE, dev_tools_hot_reload=FALSE)
