  1. Using {renv} take a snapshop of this existing Shiny-app-using-COVID-data project. Initialising environment firs using ren::init() and then taking a snapshop using renv::snapshot().

This will ensure we load the right packages and the right version all the time whilst working on this project. Isolating the packages version for this project.

  1. Cleanse existing files in Shiny-app-using-COVID-data folder:
    • Delete following set of files from main repo: • FIXING_LAT_LONG_country_values.Rdata • METRICS_AND_LEAFLETS_DATA.Rdata

Initialising renv for this project

library(renv)

1. Initialise my environment

renv::init()

Then {renv} writes a lock file, this includes all packages required for this specific project. It has created three files:

Inside the /renv folder, there is a script called “activate.R”. This script ensures you have loaded the right packages and the right versions.

The {renv} package creates a library directory, and with it comes an extra git ignore file to ensure I don’t commit all these packages to git and GitHub
