Thank you for the input and links to rcdimple. I'll work on converting from rCharts to rcdimple. rcdimple looks great so far and good documentation - thank you!
I hesitate when I hear you say you will start work on converting. Unfortunately, the API is not stable, and the project is still alpha. What libraries did you like most out of rCharts
?
@timelyportfolio I think primarily the dimple and nvd3 libraries provided what we were looking for. So it sounds like rCharts is being deprecated but rcdimple is not yet ready, so we should use what is available from htmlwidgets? My understanding is the libraries included in the showcase have been built using htmlwidgets and they should all be stable for use. Let me know if that is incorrect.
@ramnathv, any advice or suggestions?
@gfilla rCharts
will be split up into multiple htmlwidgets
and rcdimple
is the first one. rcnvd3
and rcmorris
are in the works and will be released soon. The libraries showcased on the htmlwidgets gallery are all on CRAN and so should be stable for use.
There will be a guide that will help migrate to the new API. It resembles the current one largely, except for piping replacing the manipulation in-place.
I just spotted this on Twitter, and I am very delighted to see this. However, I am concerned since
rCharts
is "sort-of" being deprecated in its current form in favor of ahtmlwidgets
implementation (cc @ramnathv). Here is a quick example of what thathtmlwidgets
implementation might look like https://github.com/timelyportfolio/rcdimple and post. I would love to know your thoughts and expected future direction so we can collaborate toward a great solution. Thanks again for putting this together.
