Decode Shinylive link(s) to extract files to local directory

decode_shinylive_link.Rd

Decodes Shinylive sharelinks to extract the embedded files and save them to a local directory. This is the reverse operation of creating Shinylive links. Handles both single URLs and multiple URLs automatically.

Usage

decode_shinylive_link(
  url,
  output_dir = "./shinylive_files",
  overwrite = FALSE,
  create_subdir = TRUE,
  name_dirs = TRUE
)

Arguments

url

Character string or vector containing Shinylive URL(s)

output_dir

Character string specifying the output directory path (default: "./shinylive_files")

overwrite

Logical. Whether to overwrite existing files (default: FALSE)

create_subdir

Logical. Whether to create subdirectories. For single URLs, creates a subdirectory named after the URL hash. For multiple URLs, creates numbered subdirectories (default: TRUE)

name_dirs

Logical. For multiple URLs only: whether to name directories by URL index rather than hash (default: TRUE). Ignored for single URLs.

Value

For single URL: shinylive_decoded object. For multiple URLs: shinylive_decoded_batch object.

Examples

if (FALSE) { # \dontrun{
# Single URL
url <- "https://shinylive.io/r/editor/#code=NobwRAdgh..."
result <- decode_shinylive_link(url)
print(result)

# Multiple URLs
urls <- c(
  "https://shinylive.io/r/editor/#code=...",
  "https://shinylive.io/py/app/#code=..."
)
results <- decode_shinylive_link(urls)
print(results)

# Custom settings for single URL
result <- decode_shinylive_link(url,
                               output_dir = "./my_app",
                               create_subdir = FALSE,
                               overwrite = TRUE)

# Custom settings for multiple URLs
results <- decode_shinylive_link(urls,
                                output_dir = "./my_apps",
                                name_dirs = FALSE)  # Use hash-based names
} # }
