闪亮的应用程序未更新数据

Question

I have a shiny page looking like that:

library(all my required packages)
source("that file that contains a function to grab my data")
data <- function_from_sourced_file()
server <- function(input, output)
ui <- shinyUI()
shinyApp(ui = ui, server = server)

Now this works fine but I need the shiny app to reflect the changes on said data and to do so I have to either rerun the runApp() function or :w the app.R file in vim. Is it possible to ask the shiny server to rerun the entire file each it is accessed?

thanks

Answer 1

One of the quick ways to do so is using reactivePoll .

reactivePoll

Value

A reactive expression that returns the result of valueFunc, and invalidates when checkFunc changes.

Description

Used to create a reactive data source, which works by periodically polling a non-reactive data source.

Example

reactivePoll and reactiveFileReader
