Overview

About

Maintained by Jonathan SidiCRAN page ↗GitHub ↗

Create and customize interactive carousels using the 'Slick' 'JavaScript' library and the 'htmlwidgets' package. The carousels can contain plots produced in R, images, 'iframes', videos and other 'htmlwidgets'. These carousels can be created directly from the R console, and viewed in the 'RStudio' internal viewer, in 'Shiny' apps and R Markdown documents.

Install

R (source archive)pak (dev)

url <- "https://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/Archive/slickR/slickR_0.6.0.tar.gz"
pkgFile <- "slickR_0.6.0.tar.gz"

install.packages(pkgFile, type = "source", repos = NULL)

This package is no longer on CRAN, so install.packages() cannot fetch it by name. This downloads the last archived source (0.6.0) and builds it locally. Install its dependencies first, and note that building from source needs the usual compiler toolchain.

if (!requireNamespace("pak", quietly = TRUE))
  install.packages("pak", repos = "https://cloud.r-project.org/")
pak::pak("yonicd/slickR")

Development version from yonicd/slickR. Installs pak first if it is not already available.
