Run R Shiny app on SharePoint



I am wondering if and how I can run a shiny app on the SharePoint of my company.
I tried to work with a flexdashboard following this post.
I managed to make this work with a simple app but not with my own app.



My app does not have static data, but retrieves data via API's, which I guessed was the reason a flexdashboard won't work (correct me if I'm wrong).



I have no experience in publishing/deploying shiny apps other than on shinyapps.io. In this case this will not be an option since the data is sensitive.



What are the options for me to make the app run on SharePoint?



Many thanks in advance.





You'll probably have better luck setting up a Shiny Server inside the company, rather than trying to publish on sharepoint

@ConorNeilson I would love that to happen but we are a small company so a Shiny Server is way too expensive for us.

If you're a small company, (and the app is just for internal use), then can you not just utilise the free version of Server?

You do not have to use shiny server Pro you can check the free version. As a start you can check here deanattali.com/2015/05/09/…

I will look into that, thanks both. Was not aware there was a free version, my bad. Will let you know if it worked!

For now I decided to host my app on shinyapps.io and added a login form to my app. This way the data in the app is still secure and not view-able for unwanted visitors.



I am still open for alternatives, so please let me know if there are any!

Firebase Auth - with Email and Password - Check user already registered

Clash Royale CLAN TAG #URR8PPP Firebase Auth - with Email and Password - Check user already registered I want to check when a user attempts to signup with createUserWithEmailAndPassword() in Firebase user Authentication method, this user is already registered with my app. createUserWithEmailAndPassword() 8 Answers 8 To detect whether a user with that email address already exists, you can detect when the call to createUserWithEmailAndPassword () fails with auth/email-already-in-use . I see that @Srinivasan just posted an answer for this. createUserWithEmailAndPassword () auth/email-already-in-use Alternatively, you can detect that an email address is already used by calling fetchSignInMethodsForEmail() (previous called fetchProvidersForEmail() ). fetchSignInMethodsForEmail() fetchProvidersForEmail() When the user trying to create an user with same email address, the task response will be "Response: The email address is already in use by another account." mFirebas...

Clash Royale CLAN TAG #URR8PPP Dynamically update html content plain JS So I have a script bound in my index.html, which literally has to fetch an array of jsons from an api, then dynamically update my page when get response. But as a result I'm getting an as the only update of my page. here is my script fetch(url) .then((resp) => resp.json()) .then((resp) => resp.results.forEach(item => fetch(item.url) .then((response)=> response.json()) .then((response) => pokeArr.push(response)) .catch(console.log) ) ).catch(console.log) const filler = () => if(!pokeArr) return 0 pokeArr.map((i,j)=> return `<tr>$i.name</tr>` ) const pokeindex = () => document.getElementById('a').appendChild(document.createElement(filler())) pokeindex() When I'm consoling it, I can see in the console all the responses I get, so I'm at least doing the fetching part right. What's parberakan ? What's pokeArr ? – T.J. Crowder Aug 8 at 12...

Creating a leaderboard in HTML/JS

Clash Royale CLAN TAG #URR8PPP Creating a leaderboard in HTML/JS I'm trying to create a top 10 leaderboard, for now, I've only implemented 3 players, but I'm coming across an issue. My script doesn't seem to be outputting anything on webpage. The purpose of the script is to compare 3 arrays, player1,player2,and player3 solely based off of score. Which is the 2nd index of each array. I want the script to list the players in order of highest score. This method doesn't really seem to be efficient, especially when I'll have to add 7 more players. Could someone suggest perhaps an easier approach, as well as show me why my script wont output the info. Here's the JS function leaderboard() { var player1 = name:"Thomas",date:"01/23/18",score:"201"; var player2 = name:"Michael",date:"03/24/17",score:"943"; var player3 = Name:"Lisa",date:"06/04/18",Score:"79"; if(player1[2]...
