Simple Reporter

Simple reporter is a shiny module for capturing app views during the session, and eventually downloading a report document. The Simple reporter module consists of two separate modules one for each of the two buttons, Add Card and Download Report buttons modules.

module designed to capture and visualize application views throughout a session, facilitating the generation and download of a comprehensive report document. This module consists of two separate modules one for each of the two buttons.

• Add card button.
• Download report button.

The implementation should consist of 4 steps:

1. Add modules UI component to the app’s UI.
2. Initialize Reporter instance.
3. Create the report card function with two optional arguments: card and comment. This function must return a ReportCard object. The ReportCard object should be built step by step, assuming that it is empty at the beginning.
   • If the comment argument is provided, it should be added to the card. If not, it should be added automatically at the end of the card.
   • If the card argument is provided, the ReportCard instance should be automatically created for the user. If not, the function should create the card itself. Please note that the document page’s design is up to the developer’s imagination.
4. Invoke the servers with the Reporter instance and the function to create the ReportCard instance.

The code added to introduce the reporter is wrapped in the ### REPORTER code blocks.

First, load the required packages:

library(shiny)
library(bslib)
library(teal.reporter)
library(ggplot2)
library(rtables)
