Application Overview

  • The application is written in Shiny which is a web application framework for R

  • The source code has two files: server.R and ui.R

  • server.R contains the server function definition of the web application

  • ui.R includes the the user interface definition

  • For applications defined this way, the server.R file must return the server function, and the ui.R file must return the UI object

  • The application is hosted on Shinyapps.io, a site for these types of applications.
