create_manifest: Create a manifest for your shiny app

Description

This is a central piece if you want to have your app standalone for instance

Usage

create_manifest(
  path,
  name = "My App",
  shortName = "My App",
  description = "What it does!",
  lang = "en-US",
  startUrl,
  display = c("minimal-ui", "standalone", "fullscreen", "browser"),
  icons
)

Arguments

path

package path.

name

App name.

shortName

App short name.

description

App description

lang

App language (en-US by default).

startUrl

Page to open at start.

display

Display mode. Choose among c("minimal-ui", "standalone", "fullscreen", "browser"). In practice, you want the standalone mode so that the app looks like a native app.

icons

Dataframe containing icons specs for instance data.frame(src = rep("icons/128x128.png", 10), sizes = rep("128x128", 10), types = rep("image/png", 10)). src gives the icon path (in the www folder for instance), sizes gives the size and types the type.

Value

This function creates a www folder for your shiny app. Must specify the path. It also creates 2 additional folders to contain icons and splashscreen (splashscreen creation is not automatic for iOS). It also creates the manifest.json file in this www folder. You still have to create your own icons and splashscreen!

Examples

# NOT RUN {
create_manifest(
  path = tempdir(),
  name = "My App",
  shortName = "My App",
  description = "What it does!",
  lang = "en-US",
  startUrl = "https://www.google.com/",
  display = "standalone",
  icons = data.frame(
    src = rep("icons/128x128.png", 10),
    sizes = rep("128x128", 10),
    types = rep("image/png", 10)
  )
)
# }
