init: Create the server and UI function for the 'shiny' app

In teal: Exploratory Web Apps for Analyzing Clinical Trials Data

Create the server and UI function for the shiny app

Description

End-users: This is the most important function for you to start a teal app that is composed of teal modules.

Usage

init(
  data,
  modules,
  filter = teal_slices(),
  title = lifecycle::deprecated(),
  header = lifecycle::deprecated(),
  footer = lifecycle::deprecated(),
  id = lifecycle::deprecated()
)

Arguments

data	(teal_data or teal_data_module) For constructing the data object, refer to teal.data::teal_data() and teal_data_module().
modules	(list or teal_modules or teal_module) Nested list of teal_modules or teal_module objects or a single teal_modules or teal_module object. These are the specific output modules which will be displayed in the teal application. See modules() and module() for more details.
filter	(teal_slices) Optionally, specifies the initial filter using teal_slices().
title	(shiny.tag or character(1)) Optionally, the browser window title. Defaults to a title "teal app" with the icon of NEST. Can be created using the build_app_title() or by passing a valid shiny.tag which is a head tag with title and link tag. This parameter is no longer supported. Use modify_title() on the teal app object instead.
header	(shiny.tag or character(1)) Optionally, the header of the app. This parameter is no longer supported. Use modify_header() on the teal app object instead.
footer	(shiny.tag or character(1)) Optionally, the footer of the app. This parameter is no longer supported. Use modify_footer() on the teal app object instead.
id	(character) Optionally, a string specifying the shiny module id in cases it is used as a shiny module rather than a standalone shiny app. This parameter is no longer supported. Use ui_teal() and srv_teal() instead.

Value

Named list containing server and UI functions.
