charpente

The goal of {charpente} is to significantly reduce the complexity of creating new HTML templates for Shiny:

• {charpente} creates a plug and play package structure.
• {charpente} automatically import dependencies from jsdelivr, so that you don't have to do it by hand!
• {charpente} eases the conversion from HTML to R.
• {charpente} offers multiple R and JS boilerplate for {shiny} input bindings, {shiny} message handlers, ...
• {charpente} enables seamless JavaScript code management (powered by esbuild): concat, compress, mangle, bundle, minify, ... for JS and Sass code.

path <- file.path(tempdir(), "mypkg")
create_charpente(path, license = "mit")

# Once the package is created and opened

# Look for all bulma flavors
get_dependency_versions("bulma")
# Get latest stable
get_dependency_versions("bulma", latest = TRUE)
# Inspect bulma
get_dependency_assets("bulma")

# Download bulma locally
create_dependency("bulma")
devtools::load_all()
# Test the newly added dependencies tools
findDependencies(add_bulma_deps(div()))

# Create JS handler
create_custom_handler("modal")

# Create input binding
create_input_binding("myinput")

# Create output binding
create_output_binding("myoutput")

# Compress JS and CSS (Sass) for production
