Manual UI bindings creation #32

Open nuest opened 7 years ago

nuest commented 7 years ago

[ outsourced from #31 ]

Users want to write UI bindings directly into RMarkdown themselves, not only create them in a (browser-based) UI-based workflow.

Do we want to work on this now?

How can UI bindings be embedded into RMarkdown?

MarkusKonk commented 7 years ago

UI Bindings are higher-level descriptions. It is not possible to write UI Bindings into RMarkdown. It is only possible to implement a UI Binding in RMarkdown which is, for many (not all) cases, done by Shiny and already possible. I will continue with the UI Bindings from July on but I don't think I will work on that problem.

If it is possible to write down UI Bindings at all (=create the required functions), then you can also put them into RMarkdown. So the answer is "just use Shiny"?
