  • Once you have R installed, it is also useful to have an integrated development environment (IDE): pick either the free RStudio Desktop or VS Code with R language support.

  • httpuv

    HTTP and WebSocket server package for R

  • The app is served to the client (app user) through a host (Internet Protocol or IP address) and port number. The server then keeps a websocket connection open to receive requests. The R session behind the app will make sure this request translates into the desired interactivity and sends back the response, usually and updated object, like a plot or a table.
