In shinytitle: Update Browser Window Title in 'shiny' Session

shinytitle - Window Browser Title Change in Shiny

The goal of shinytitle is to update the browser window title when running a shiny application.

Installation

devtools::install_github("ashbaldry/shinytitle")

Functionality

Currently there are three functions:

• change_window_title: Make a single change to the window title
• flashing_window_title: Make the window title flash between the current title and a temporary second title, and
• busy_window_title: Adding the ability to change the browser title to a different string whenever the shiny app is busy

Examples

Written Example

library(shiny)
library(shinytitle)

ui <- fluidPage(
  title = "Initial Title",
  use_shiny_title(),
  actionButton("button", "Click me for a flashing title"),
  actionButton("button2", "Click me for a new title after a 3 second wait")
)

server <- function(input, output, session) {
  observeEvent(input$button, {
    flashing_window_title(session, "--- Flashing Title ---", duration = 10000)
  })

  observeEvent(input$button2, {
    Sys.sleep(3)
    change_window_title(session, "Sleep Finished", inactive_only = TRUE)
  })
}

shinyApp(ui, server)
