This is a fork of https://github.com/ColumbusCollaboratory/electron-quick-start and updates the code in several ways:
- Switch to Electron 11.1.1
- Switch to standard R 4-03
- As of now no MAC-OSX-R-(Portable)-Version included
- New R user defined functions (on the basis of the photon RStudio Add-in)
- New MakeShinyExe-R-Script to facilitate the process and copies all R-Files as well as an optional www-folder (use this to put all needed files inside) to run any possible shiny-app
Clone and run for a quick way to see Electron in action.
This is a minimal Electron application based on the Quick Start Guide within the Electron documentation.
Use this app along with the Electron API Demos app for API code examples to help you get started.
A basic Electron application needs just these files:
package.json- Points to the app's main file and lists its details and dependencies.main.js- Starts the app and creates a browser window to render HTML. This is the app's main process.index.html- A web page to render. This is the app's renderer process.
You can learn more about each of these components within the Quick Start Guide.
To clone and run this repository you'll need Git and Node.js (which comes with npm) installed on your computer.
Note: If you're using Linux Bash for Windows, see this
guide
or use node from the command prompt.
In order to get started just open MakeShinyExe.R and run the first three lines of code.
Continue in MakeShinyExe.R in order to run oder build the app.
Notice that the
shell(paste0("cd ", "./shiny-electron-quick-start && npm stop"))
helps to end the electron-process.
