Add a shiny app as front end

[ernestguevarra]

Consider adding a shiny app as front end that will use the functions herewith to calculate z-scores of individual kids and of survey datasets.

Factors to think about:

• Should the shiny app be in the installed file i.e. inside inst/ directory of the package?; or,

  • PROS - shiny app can be deployed to the cloud or remotely in a more straightforward way i.e., upload to shiny server as a directory
  • CONS - shiny app can't be unit tested within the package itself
  • CONS - maintenance of package and shiny app are separate as they are not really linked up to each other aside from shiny app calling on the zscorer package to perform calculations

• Should the shiny app be inside the package itself through a function that wraps around the shiny app

  • PROS - shiny app function can be unit tested and checked as part of package development; development is synchronous
  • CONS - deployment of shiny app to cloud or remote server not straightforward

Possible solutions:

• Do both (just like in the infohub package)
