Help API rpkg.net

Understanding how users interact with your Shiny app is crucial for its success. By tracking visitor views, visitor likes, and visitor followers, you gain valuable insights into user engagement and preferences. This data allows you to:

RPKG has revolutionized the way developers can store and analyze visitor data in R-based Shiny apps. With the shinyStorePlus ^1.3 R package, you can easily track views, likes, and followers, providing powerful and user-friendly features for data collection and analysis. This functionality empowers developers to gain deeper insights into user behavior, optimize their apps, and ultimately deliver a more engaging and valuable experience for their users.

How to use the rpkg.net API v0.1

The overall aim of this initial API release is to allow easy storage of some key metrics for user experience in Shiny applications and Markdown documents. For example, many R dashboard packages allow creation of profile pages, like buttons, follow buttons. But none of those packages offer easy ways to make those features functional.

This api.rpkg.net domain aims to accomplish those initial goals of bringing a secure lightweight database for metrics storage and retrieval. The initial features include the following -

Integration for Like/Unlike buttons
Integration for Follow/Unfollow buttons
Integration of counts for App and Profile views

Through the popular shinyStorePlus, these features can be easily incorporated into your shiny applications. So get this! It means you will now be able to easily track likes, followers, ratings and views on your apps and documents published online!

Example simple usage: Like, Follow and tracking of views

library(shiny)
library(shinyStorePlus)

ui = fluidPage(
  titlePanel("Simplified shiny app storage of views, likes and followers"),
  initStore("all",rpkg.api.key = "c20c5eead7714c119dd3f20bd249a388e72db2aa0f9305d0380b683a37c5296a"),
  h2("Save App Views"),hr(),
  viewsBox("viewsshow","loading views..."),
  h2("Save App Likes, and allow user to Like!"),hr(),
  lfButton("liket",suffix="likes"),
  h2("Save App Followers, and allow user to Follow!"),hr(),
  lfButton("followt",suffix="followers"),
  p(p("Like or Follow and Refresh the page - the values are saved and the views are incremented."))
)

server = function(input, output, session) {
  # set up views, likes and follows, leave as NULL if you don't need tracking for either
  # in this case, we leave followID as NULL since we don't need to use that
  setupRPKG(viewsID = "viewsshow", likesID = "liket", followID = "followt")
}


shinyApp(ui = ui, server = server, options = list(launch.browser = TRUE,shiny.port =7177))
