In elaborator: A 'shiny' Application for Exploring Laboratory Data

Description Usage Arguments Value Examples

1	launch_elaborator(host = "127.0.0.1", port = NULL, browser = NULL)

`host`	host link (defaults to the local machine "127.0.0.1")
`port`	port number (randomly chosen unless specified as a certain number)
`browser`	path to browser exe (defaults to standard browser)

A shiny app

if(interactive()){
## Launch application on localhost (127.0.0.1)
## -------------------------------------------
## By default launch_elaborator starts the application on localhost
## and a randomly selected port (e.g. 9876), in which case you can connect
## to the running application by navigating your browser to
## http://localhost:9876.
launch_elaborator()

## Launch application on a different host
## --------------------------------------
## You can also run the application on a different host
## by specifying a hostname and port. Just make sure to
## use an open port on your machine. Here "open" means
## that the port should not be used by another service
## and the port is opened by your firewall.
launch_elaborator(host="your-hostname", port = 8888, browser = NULL)


## Make the application available to your coworkers
## ------------------------------------------------
## within your local area network even without a
## dedicated Shiny server. The value set through the
## host argument says to accept any connection (not just from localhost).
## Then take note of your local IP (if you are under linux,
## you can see it through ifconfig). Say your IP is 192.168.1.70.
## Your colleagues can use your app by inserting in the address
## bar of their browser 192.168.1.70:8888, i.e. your IP followed
## by : and the port number you selected.
launch_elaborator(host="0.0.0.0", port=8888)

## Launch application on a different browser
## ----------------------------------------
## To run the shiny app on a different browser than your standard browser
## use the "browser" argument to set the path to the respective .exe file.
launch_elaborator(browser = "C:/Program Files/Mozilla Firefox/firefox.exe")
