ANSWER
Creating a static dashboard using flexdashboard
with at least three plots and one shiny component requires a combination of R code, R Markdown (.rmd
) files, and data. Below, I’ll provide you with a high-level guide on how to create such a dashboard. Please note that I cannot directly upload files or create URLs, but I’ll guide you through the process step by step.
Step 1: Prepare Your Data
Ensure that you have your data ready. You can use your own data or find an appropriate dataset online. If you have a CSV file, you can load it into R using read.csv()
.
Step 2: Install Required Packages
If you haven’t already, install the necessary packages:
install.packages("flexdashboard")
install.packages("shiny")
install.packages("ggplot2")
# Install other packages as needed
Step 3: Create an R Markdown (.rmd) File
Create an R Markdown file (e.g., dashboard.rmd
) using RStudio or any text editor. This is where you’ll define your dashboard layout and add R code chunks for data processing and visualization.
Here’s a simple example of an R Markdown file structure:
---
title: "Static Dashboard with flexdashboard and Shiny"
output:
flexdashboard::flex_dashboard:
orientation: columns
vertical_layout: fill
---
```{r setup, include=FALSE}
library(flexdashboard)
library(shiny)
library(ggplot2)
# Load other necessary libraries
Sidebar {.sidebar}
# Define Shiny inputs here
# Example: input slider or selectInput
Column {.tabset}
Plot 1
# Your first plot code here (e.g., ggplot2)
Plot 2
# Your second plot code here
Plot 3
# Your third plot code here
Shiny Component {.tabset}
Dynamic Chart
# Shiny code for dynamic chart (e.g., reactive plot)
### Step 4: Create Plots and Shiny Components
Within your R Markdown file, replace the placeholders for plots and shiny components with your actual code. Make use of `ggplot2` for static plots and Shiny for interactive elements.
### Step 5: Render the Dashboard
Knit the R Markdown file to generate the HTML dashboard. In RStudio, you can click the "Knit" button or use the following code in the R console:
```R
rmarkdown::render("dashboard.rmd")
Step 6: Share the Dashboard
You can share the HTML dashboard file or upload it to a web server. If you prefer to use Shinyapps.io, you can deploy the Shiny component separately on Shinyapps.io and integrate its URL into your flexdashboard.
Remember to share the R Markdown file and data source (or the URL to the data source) so others can replicate your dashboard.
This is a general outline to create a static dashboard with flexdashboard
and a Shiny component. You will need to adapt it to your specific dataset and requirements.
QUESTION
Description
Use the same data as used in [Service Learning] Analysis and create a static dashboard using flexdashboard with at minimum 3 plots.
Please include the url for the data source or upload the html file generated from knitting the .rmd file
Please include the url for the data source or the csv file used for your dashboard creation and your .rmd file for me to be able to replicate your dashboard.
Alternatively you can upload on https://www.shinyapps.io/It is free to create an account and upload one application and share the URL
add atleast one shiny component to create a dynamic chart.
