WRITE APP NAME HERE

This app was created using the PHS Shiny app template from the {phstemplates} package.

Instructions for use

• Run the app by opening app.R and clicking 'Run' in the top right-hand corner
• setup.R contains required packages and is where any data should be read in
• data/ is a folder for storing data to be read in
• www/ contains the app stylesheet and PHS icon images
• pages/ should contain an R script for each tab in your app with the content of that tab. This needs to be linked back to the ui in app.R
• functions/ contains R scripts with functions for the app

PHS shiny app examples

Accessibility

An aim of any app is making sure it can be used by as many people as possible.

This includes those with:

• impaired vision
• motor difficulties
• cognitive impairments or learning disabilities
• deafness or impaired hearing

For example, someone with impaired vision might use a screen reader.

PHS has created guidance on how to make your app as accessible as possible. It can be found in the knowledge base from this link.

We hope to build-in some of these basic features into this template in the future.
