Produce cheat sheet summarising the learning #2

Closed ChrisBeeley closed 2 years ago

ChrisBeeley commented 2 years ago

Have a downloadable cheat sheet in the repo that shows a summary of all of the functions and learning from the program that people can refer to

Hi, I am quite new to both the NHS and R, but should be able to compile a cheat sheet for this. Would it be best in PDF form? I can use RMarkdown for the practice :)

ChrisBeeley commented 2 years ago

Great, thanks! If you're doing RMarkdown pdf and HTML would be good (HTML for accessibility).

Thanks again!

Hi Chris, I managed to make a start finally: https://github.com/MarkMc1089/shiny-training/tree/write_cheat_sheet

It is just outputting html for now, and only covering intro_1 slides so far. Is this kind of what you were expecting?

ChrisBeeley commented 2 years ago

Looks good to me, thanks!

MarkMc1089 commented 2 years ago

I added a much shorter version, which is best to continue with? Just thinking if I continue along the lines of the original one, it might turn into a cheat novella, rather than a sheet!

ChrisBeeley commented 2 years ago

Thanks, I've made a PR with a few edits, looks good to me though (feel free to ignore edits! :slightly_smiling_face: )

MarkMc1089 commented 2 years ago

Thanks Chris, I used your edits with just a slight modification over headings. I've added the intro_2 contents into the cheat sheet. One issue you may be able to help me with - how to get the shiny app output as a picture to include in the static outputs? So far it is just the section for Layouts that this is needed for.

Screenshot?

MarkMc1089 commented 2 years ago

Hi @ChrisBeeley - I've finished the cheat sheet. Once you have had a look thru just let me know if there are any changes required. I will tidy up the presentation of the PDF (probably just adding some pagebreaks where needed) once the content is fully completed.

I didn't quite get automatic rendering of a Shiny app into PDF, but came up with an easily repeatable solution using the shinyscreenshot package :)

ChrisBeeley commented 2 years ago

I'm so sorry, I forgot about this PR. I've been rather sick and I was in hospital recently.

I'll look this week, thanks for your time and sorry I've been so slow

ChrisBeeley commented 2 years ago

I've had a look now. Looks all good to me, thanks, please submit and we'll get it merged in :rocket:

ChrisBeeley commented 2 years ago

Sorry, this slipped off my radar. Could you make a PR against the repo please and we'll merge it in? :pray:
