Periscope2 Shiny Application Framework
Description
Periscope2 is the next-generation package following the paradigm of the 'periscope' package to support a UI-standardized and rail-guarded enterprise quality application environment. This package also includes a variety of convenience functions for 'shiny' applications in a more modernized way. Base reusable functionality as well as UI paradigms are included to ensure a consistent user experience regardless of application or developer.
Details
'periscope2' differs from the 'periscope' package as follows:
Upgraded dependency on bootstrap v4 instead of bootstrap v3
New user modules (i.e. announcements)
More functionality and finer control over existing modules such as alert and reset
More control over customizing different application parts (header, footer, left sidebar, right sidebar and body)
Enhanced file structure to organize application UI, shiny modules, app configuration, .. etc
