What is current best practice for including a shiny interface within a package?
Anyone know of a good example?
Gabor Csardi@coolbutuseless I am not claiming to be best practice, but nevertheless the pkgsearch package has a shiny app.
James Laird-Smith@coolbutuseless @gaborcsardi the testthat package also has a (little) shiny app. Not sure if there is a defined best practice at this stage.
Jonathan Carroll@jameslairdsmith @coolbutuseless @gaborcsardi {blogdown} includes a new_post shiny widget that I can't immediately trace the source of.

Here’s the PR for it, should make tracing the relevant bits of the shiny app easier. I don’t know how current everything here is though (e.g., {miniUI} hasn’t been updated in 6 years): https://github.com/EllaKaye/distilltools/pull/12/files?file-filters%5B%5D=.R&file-filters%5B%5D=.dcf&file-filters%5B%5D=.yml&show-viewed-files=true
