Thank you for downloading and using Dashboardr. We hope that you’ll find it helpful and fun to use.
How to use this package
Here’s some information that you might find handy while you learn to use the package. This is a tutorial dashboard, which means that these pages were written by us, and are saved in the dashboardr R package. However, when you decide to call create_dashboard() using your own or sample data, an output directory will be generated.
Locating your dashboard
Unless otherwise specified, your dashboard lives in the output directory! For example:
C:/Users/user/test_dashboard
├── index.qmd
├── example_dashboard.qmd
├── standalone_charts.qmd
├── text_only_page.qmd
└── showcase_dashboard.qmd
Editing your dashboard after rendering
You’ll also have the option to write a new GitHub repository. dashboardr will tell you where it is saved upon rendering.
If you’d like to edit your pages further, you can do so by navigating to the output directory and editing the .qmd files manually. If that doesn’t suit you, then you can also create visualizations with create_viz() %>% add_viz(), and build out the dashboard with add_page().
For an example of a dashboard that demonstrates the full breadth of this package, click on the Showcase tab on the toolbar above. This tutorial dashboard demonstrates the dashboardr package using real examples from the vignettes.
