run_app() functionWhen launching the app, you might have noticed that the dev/run_dev.R function calls run_app(), which has the following structure:
run_app <- function(
...
) {
with_golem_options(
app = shinyApp(
ui = app_ui,
server = app_server
),
golem_opts = list(...)
)
}This function might looks a little bit weird, but there’s a long story behind it, and you can read more about it there.
But long story short, this combination of with_golem_options & golem_opts = list(...) allows you to pass argument to the function to be used inside the application, from UI or from server side, which you can get with get_golem_options().
run_app(this = "that")
# And in the app
this <- get_golem_options("this")The idea is to provide more flexibility for deployment on each platform you want to run your app on.
{golem}The dev/03_deploy.R file contains function for deploying on various platforms.
