Changelog

Source: NEWS.md

shinylive 0.3.0

  • Updated default shinylive assets to v0.9.1. (#120, #129, #135)

  • Resources are now built relative to Quarto project root. (#130)

  • In CI and other automated workflow settings the SHINYLIVE_WASM_PACKAGES environment variable can now be used to control whether WebAssembly R package binaries are bundled with the exported shinylive app, in addition to the wasm_packages argument of the export() function. (#116)

  • shinylive now avoids bundling WebAssembly R package dependencies listed only in the LinkingTo section of required packages. With this change dependencies that are only required at build time are no longer included as part of the exported WebAssembly asset bundle. This reduces the total static asset size and improves the loading time of affected shinylive apps. (#115)

  • shinylive now supports adding files in virtual subdirectories in shinylive-r apps embedded in Quarto documents. For example, ## file: R/load_data.R in a shinylive-r chunk followed by the load_data.R code will create a file load_data.R in the R subdirectory of the exported app. (#119)

shinylive 0.2.0

CRAN release: 2024-07-19

  • shinylive now uses shinylive web assets v0.5.0 by default, which bundles webR 0.4.0 with R 4.4.1. This update brings improved keyboard shortcuts for R users in the Shinylive editor, the ability to export a custom library of R packages with the exported app, and a few improvements to the Quarto integration. (#108)

  • export() gains an assets_version argument to choose the version of the Shinylive web assets to be used with the exported app. This is primarily useful for testing new versions of the Shinylive assets before they’re officially released via a package update. In CI and other automated workflow settings, the SHINYLIVE_ASSETS_VERSION environment variable can be used to set the assets version. (#91)

  • export() gains template_params and template_dir arguments to control the template HTML files used in the export, allowing users to partially or completely customize the exported HTML. The export template is provided by the shinylive assets and may change from release-to-release. Use assets_info() to locate installed shinylive assets; the template files for a given release are in the export_template directory of the release. (#96)

    • template_params takes a list of parameters to be interpolated into the template. The default template include title (the title for the page with the exported app), include_in_head (HTML added to the <head> of the page), and include_before_body (HTML added just after <body>) and include_after_body (HTML added just after </body>).
    • template_dir is the directory containing the template files. The default is the export_template directory of the shinylive assets being used for the export. Use assets_info() to locate installed shinylive assets where you can find the default template files.

  • shinylive now uses cli for console printing. Console output can be suppressed via the global R option by calling options(shinylive.quiet = TRUE). (#104)

  • export() and assets_info() gain a quiet argument. In export(), quiet replaces the now-deprecated verbose option, which continues to work with a warning. (#104)
