This submission forms the final assignment of the Developing Data Products Coursera Module.
The assignment requires the development of Shiny App that is reactive to a user's inputs. The WA Operating Mines application shows the locations of operating mines within Western Australia using the leaflet package combined with shiny.
The data was obtained from the Department of Mines, Industry Regulation and Safety.
The source of the data is https://dasc.dmp.wa.gov.au/DASC?productAlias=MINEDEXOperatingMines.
The data contains 33 variables with 1144 observations.
A sample of the data is provided below:
head(data.mines[, 1:4])
