shiny app for pokemons
This app was designed for two reasons:
- propose something original for the upcoming shiny contest event
- serve as a gallery for the RinteRface tablerDash dashboard template
The original data are taken from the amazing
pokeApi. I built my own data from what I found
relevant in the API (see data-waw folder). Moreover, I chose to deal
only with the first 151 pokemons (because I played with them as a
child). Such a restriction is actually not as straightforward as it
seems to handle, since each element need to belong to the first pokemon
generation (while the API provides unfiltered data). There are features
that exist now but not in the first games (namely red/blue):
- eggs
- special objects
- day/night cycle
- mega evolutions
- …
This app is packaged into 11 shiny modules that tightly interact together to pass useful informations, such as the currently selected pokemon. All outputs are mainly generated with the excellents echarts4r and visNetwork.
This app is built on top of the Bootstrap 4 tablerDash template. Furthermore, it includes the pushbar.js library implementation by John Coene. Combined together, this allows to develop clean templates, especially for mobile devices.
