In Appsilon/rhino: A Framework for Enterprise Shiny Applications

Configure Rhino with rhino.yml

Rhino uses its own rhino.yml config file where you can set a few options on how it works in your app. Currently available options are described below.

rhino.yml options

sass: string               # required | one of: "node", "r", "custom"
legacy_entrypoint: string  # optional | one of: "app_dir", "source", "box_top_level"

sass

This option controls the behavior rhino::build_sass():

• node: Build Sass using the Node.js package.
• r: Build Sass using the R package.
• custom: Do nothing. Useful when bundling custom Sass with bslib theme.
