runApp: Run Shiny Application
In nGanon/R_shiny: Web Application Framework for R

Description Usage Arguments Details Examples

Runs a Shiny application. This function normally does not return; interrupt R to stop the application (usually by pressing Ctrl+C or Esc).

runApp(appDir = getwd(), port = getOption("shiny.port"),
  launch.browser = getOption("shiny.launch.browser", interactive()),
  host = getOption("shiny.host", "127.0.0.1"), workerId = "",
  quiet = FALSE, display.mode = c("auto", "normal", "showcase"),
  test.mode = getOption("shiny.testmode", FALSE))

`appDir`	The application to run. Should be one of the following: A directory containing `server.R`, plus, either `ui.R` or a `www` directory that contains the file `index.html`. A directory containing `app.R`. An `.R` file containing a Shiny application, ending with an expression that produces a Shiny app object. A list with `ui` and `server` components. A Shiny app object created by `shinyApp`.
`port`	The TCP port that the application should listen on. If the `port` is not specified, and the `shiny.port` option is set (with `options(shiny.port = XX)`), then that port will be used. Otherwise, use a random port.
`launch.browser`	If true, the system's default web browser will be launched automatically after the app is started. Defaults to true in interactive sessions only. This value of this parameter can also be a function to call with the application's URL.
`host`	The IPv4 address that the application should listen on. Defaults to the `shiny.host` option, if set, or `"127.0.0.1"` if not. See Details.
`workerId`	Can generally be ignored. Exists to help some editions of Shiny Server Pro route requests to the correct process.
`quiet`	Should Shiny status messages be shown? Defaults to FALSE.
`display.mode`	The mode in which to display the application. If set to the value `"showcase"`, shows application code and metadata from a `DESCRIPTION` file in the application directory alongside the application. If set to `"normal"`, displays the application normally. Defaults to `"auto"`, which displays the application in the mode given in its `DESCRIPTION` file, if any.
`test.mode`	Should the application be launched in test mode? This is only used for recording or running automated tests. Defaults to the `shiny.testmode` option, or FALSE if the option is not set.

The host parameter was introduced in Shiny 0.9.0. Its default value of "127.0.0.1" means that, contrary to previous versions of Shiny, only the current machine can access locally hosted Shiny apps. To allow other clients to connect, use the value "0.0.0.0" instead (which was the value that was hard-coded into Shiny in 0.8.0 and earlier).

## Not run: 
# Start app in the current working directory
runApp()

# Start app in a subdirectory called myapp
runApp("myapp")

## End(Not run)

## Only run this example in interactive R sessions
if (interactive()) {
  options(device.ask.default = FALSE)

  # Apps can be run without a server.r and ui.r file
  runApp(list(
    ui = bootstrapPage(
      numericInput('n', 'Number of obs', 100),
      plotOutput('plot')
    ),
    server = function(input, output) {
      output$plot <- renderPlot({ hist(runif(input$n)) })
    }
  ))


  # Running a Shiny app object
