Production-grade Shiny Apps with golem
summary
Golem turns a Shiny app into an R package so the app carries DESCRIPTION, NAMESPACE, tests, man files and vignettes; it automates repetitive setup like golem::add_module which scaffolds documented module skeletons, CSS/JS and favicon files, and it generates a dev/ folder with start, dev.R, deploy.R and view_rundev scripts. It creates deployment artifacts for shinyapps.io, Shiny Server and creates Dockerfile templates, integrates config.yml via the config package, and aims for tested, dependency-managed production apps.
