In jverzani/gWidgetsWWW2.rapache: Toolkit implementation of the gWidgets API for use with web pages

gWidgetsWWW2.rapache

The gWidgetsWWW2 package is used to create dynamic web pages with R code using the gWidgets API. While it works fine with the Rook package for serving content, it does not work with rapache. This package, gWidgetsWWW2.rapache aims to provide a reasonable subset of the gWidgetsWWW2 package for use within rapache. The advantage being that pages can be served to an audience at a larger scale. The main reason for the slowness in gWidgetsWWW2 is the reliance on reference classes, which make programming nicer, but work slowly with the necessary serialization of environments needed to process callbacks within R.

See the directory inst/rapache for installation instructions. The package relies on an underlying installation of rapache and a redis server (see http://redis.io). Configuring rapache is straightforward. Basically one needs to configure a simple directive. See inst/docs/gWidgetsWWW2_rapache.html for an overview.
