  route("<your_app_url>/main",  mainPageShinyUI),
  route("<your_app_url>/other", otherPageShinyUI)
)

How to install?

It's possible to install this library through CRAN

Basic usage:

library(shiny)
library(shiny.router)

root_page <- div(h2("Root page"))
other_page <- div(h3("Other page"))

  route("/", root_page),
  route("other", other_page)
)

ui <- fluidPage(
  title = "Router demo",
  router$ui
)
