Defines functions reactRouterExample

Documented in reactRouterExample

#' Run reactRouterExample example
#'
#' Launch a Shiny example app or list the available examples.
#' Use `reactRouter::reactRouterExample("basic")` to run a showcase app.
#'
#' @param example The name of the example to run, or `NULL` to print and
#'   invisibly return the list of available examples.
#' @param ... Additional arguments to pass to `shiny::runApp()`.
#' @return When `example` is `NULL`, invisibly returns a character vector of
#'   example names (also printed via `message()`). Otherwise this function
#'   normally does not return; interrupt R to stop the application
#'   (usually by pressing Ctrl+C or Esc).
#'
#' @seealso \code{shiny.blueprint::runExample()}, which this function is
#'   adapted from.
#'
#' @export
