Getting Started with teal.reporter

Introduction

While engaging with data analysis within a shiny app, users often encounter insights that they wish to capture and share, be it through presentations, markdown articles, or other formats. The teal.reporter package simplifies the process for both developers and end-users of shiny applications. It allows for easy generation and dissemination of findings. This eliminates the need for manual copy-pasting or writing in markdown.

teal.reporter provides a suite of modules and objects that integrate seamlessly to create reports directly from shiny apps with minimal effort for users and developers.

And it can be done as easy as adding one of the reporting tools to your module:

library(teal.reporter)

## 

library(shiny)

ui <- fluidPage(simple_reporter_ui("simple"))
server <- function(input, output, session) {
  # The bulk of your module logic here

  create_module_card <- function(card) {
    card$append_text("This is the content of the report from the `simple` module")
  }
  simple_reporter_srv("simple", Reporter$new(), create_module_card)
}

if (interactive()) shinyApp(ui, server)
