How to test out the (still very much in development) shiny app.
- Clone this repository and open the project in RStudio (the GitHub desktop app may be helpful).
- Be using R version 4.1.0 or greater and have access to the following
folder on U drive:
U:\Research\Projects\health\jti_research_data\jti_itraqi_mapping - Install
{renv}and then runrenv::restore(). - Run the shiny app using the following code.
shiny::runApp("app")You may get lots of errors/warnings to say that you don’t have the necessary packages installed. Install them as they show up - I hope there’s not too many for you! You can run
renv::restore()to load all the necessary packages. Do this and try it again. If it doesn’t work - please let me (Rex) know!
The first time you open the app, it will need to create the base-map and
this can take a while. It will create a file in your project directory
(./app/fixtures/base-map.rds) and then when re-loading the map, it’ll
be faster. But this only works while you’re in the same R session. When
you restart R, it’ll cause a bug and the map won’t display. If this
happens, it means that you need to delete the base-map.rds file at the
mentioned path.
