Deploy R application to shinyapps.io

An R hosting Service

Today I got an invitation for ShinyApps.io testing. This seems to be very useful because other PaaS like Heroku not allowing install R.

Installation

Just follow the guide from https://github.com/rstudio/shinyapps/blob/master/guide/guide.mdhttps://github.com/rstudio/shinyapps/blob/master/guide/guide.md

run the App

library(shiny)
runApp()

Trouble Shooting

When the first time I deploy my apps, it always returns:

> deployApp('.')
Preparing to deploy application...Error: /v1/applications/ 400 - Bad Request

Finally I found that it is because my project directory is used as the app name, so change it to something else make it works.

Multiple pages solution

Shiny App only support Single Page Application workflow, but there is some discussion for multiple pages: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!searchin/shiny-discuss/multiple/shiny-discuss/GAiZ4m13EHY/yKpkqmv9QuMJ
