Adding interactivity with Shiny

Shiny is an R package that allows users to build interactive web applications and dashboards with R code. The package provides a framework for building user interfaces (UIs) using R functions and allows users to write server-side logic to respond to user input and update the UI in real time.

The basic structure of a Shiny application consists of two main components: the UI and the server-side logic. The UI is built using R functions that define the layout and structure of the web page, including input controls and output elements. The server-side logic is written in R code and runs on the server in response to user input. When a user interacts with the web page, the input is sent to the server, which processes the input and updates the UI in real time.

Shiny elements can be incorporated into R Markdown documents alongside other text and R code, enabling us to make our analyses interactive if needed. Quarto can render and serve these documents....
