With Shiny, JavaScript, and jQuery, you can build pretty much anything you can think of; moreover, Shiny and jQuery will do a lot of the heavy lifting, which means that fairly minimal amounts of code will be required. In this chapter, we will cover:
- Using JavaScript to read and write to the DOM
- Using JavaScript to send messages between client and server
- Easy JavaScript with the shinyjs package
- Using your own JavaScript with extend Shinyjs
- Listening for events with JavaScript
- Using JavaScript libraries with htmlwidgets
