Week 12: R Markdown

Hi everyone!

This week we learned about R Markdowns which are interactive R documents to nicely format text and r code to present to viewers. In my R Markdown, I started developing the code for my final project R package: hireLetter. 

Check this out in GitHub!

Reflection:

I found developing an R Markdown file very user-friendly and simple. I enjoyed writing headings and descriptive text outside of the code instead of entirely using comments as we did in R scripts. After starting to write the code for my final project, I was faced with many challenges. I utilized my knowledge of shiny apps from a previous class to begin my code because I realized user input is very important for my package and shiny app gives a great format for this. I hope to further develop my shiny app function after learning more in the next module of this course.

I have a few issues and questions I would appreciate help resolving. 

How can I reference the pass and fail output tables generated in my shiny app in a for loop to create and display the letters? 

Is there a way to make these renderText letters in a separate tab on the shiny app display? 

How can I make my shiny app customizable to take in any data frame supplied by the user and allow it to be called as a function in my hireLetter package? 

Are there any other functions that would be beneficial for my hireLetter package?
