Application Overview

Since the Coronavirus COVID-19 is affecting the whole world, I think is relevant to keep up to date with the numbers. This application will show the data of cases of covid-19 up to date. The data is from Johns Hopkins Center for Systems Science and Engineering (JHU/CSSE).

How it works

  • The application is written in Shiny which is a web application framework for R
  • The source code consists of two files: server.R and ui.R
  • server.R includes the the server logic of a Shiny web application
  • ui.R includes the the user-interface definition, which uses the sidebarLayout template
  • The application leverages the maps and mapdata libraries for displaying the map
  • The application is hosted on Rstudio’s shiny server in the cloud (Shinyapps.io)
  • The app can be found here

How it works

The web app has three controls with different options, so you can select the data that you want to be displayed.
