Overview

About

Maintained by David GranjonFirst published 2025-05-093 releasesCRAN page ↗GitHub ↗

Provides R bindings to the 'dockview' 'JavaScript' library https://dockview.dev/. Create fully customizable grid layouts (docks) in seconds to include in interactive R reports with R Markdown or 'Quarto' or in 'shiny' apps https://shiny.posit.co/. In 'shiny' mode, modify docks by dynamically adding, removing or moving panels or groups of panels from the server function. Choose among 8 stunning themes (dark and light), serialise the state of a dock to restore it later.
