How can I create an interactive dashboard using R Shiny?

To create an interactive dashboard with R Shiny, you'll need to install the Shiny package and set up a basic app structure.

What are the key components of a Shiny app?

A Shiny app typically consists of a UI (user interface) and a server function. The UI defines how the app looks, while the server handles the logic.

Can you show me a simple example?

Sure! Here's a basic example:

library(shiny)

ui <- fluidPage(
  titlePanel("Simple Example"),
  sidebarLayout(
    sidebarPanel(
      sliderInput("num", "Choose a number:", 1, 100, 50)
    ),
    mainPanel(
      textOutput("result")
    )
  )
)

server <- function(input, output) {
  output$result <- renderText({
    paste("You selected:", input$num)
  })
}

shinyApp(ui = ui, server = server)

How do I deploy my Shiny app online?

You can deploy your Shiny app using services like shinyapps.io or host it on your own server using Shiny Server.
