Connecting Shiny with Google Drive & Sheets

An article on how to deploy a shiny application with an authorization token that allows you save data to Google Drive (and Google Sheets). I provide an example with a simple questionnaire made with my package shinysurveys. This process can be adapted for more complex data sets and other storage platforms like Dropbox or Box.com.

shinysurveys v0.2.0

Introducing shinysurveys v0.2.0, which has a lot of new (exciting!) features. Notably, support for custom input (question) types, multi-paged surveys, and automatic response aggregation. For a full list of changes and new features, check out the release notes.

Making a Multi-Paged shinysurvey

In this post, I document a new feature of shinysurveys v0.2.0: multi-paged surveys. Using a question set built-in to shinysurveys, I illustrate how to convert a single paged survey to a multi-paged one. For examples, these can be run with the functions demo_survey() and demo_survey_multipage().

Extending shinysurveys with Custom Input Types

A brief blog post documenting a new feature of my package, shinysurveys, allowing users to define custom input types in their surveys. I walk through three examples: sliderInput(), dateInput(), and shinyWidgets::sliderTextInput().

Getting Started with shinyapps.io

A brief blog post describing how to publish your first Shiny application on RStudio’s platform, shinyapps.io. I walk-through with images how how to register your shinyapps.io account locally and use RStudio’s ‘click-to-deploy’ feature to easily share your interactive apps online.

SenioR Thesis

In this talk, I present one of three packages I developed for my undergraduate honors thesis at Wake Forest University: shinysurveys. I provide a background on R, the package shiny, and walk-through how to easily create and deploy a survey with my package.

Shiny + JavaScript

Shiny is an R package that translates R code to the languages of the web, HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. In this talk, I demonstrate how to easily integrate JavaScript to extend features of shiny applications.

shinysurveys

shinysurveys provides easy-to-use, minimalistic code for creating and deploying surveys in R. It extends the shiny package and converts a table of questions into an interactive web-based application. Administering surveys with this package allows users to combine the computational tools of R with the interactivity of web applications. This synergy helps bridge the gap between data collection and data analysis.
