Convert Python Shiny Application to Shinylive — convert_py_to

Converts a Python Shiny application directory into a shinylive application that can run entirely in the browser using Pyodide.

Usage

convert_py_to_shinylive(
  appdir,
  output_dir,
  subdir = NULL,
  overwrite = FALSE,
  verbose = TRUE
)

Arguments

appdir: Character string. Path to the directory containing the Python Shiny application.
output_dir: Character string. Path where the converted shinylive app will be saved.
subdir: Character or NULL. When set, the app is exported into a <subdir> subdirectory of output_dir as an additive shared-site export, preserving existing contents (including a shared shinylive/ asset tree). When NULL (default), a single-app export is performed and an existing output_dir is removed when overwrite = TRUE.
overwrite: Logical. Whether to overwrite existing output directory. Default is FALSE.
verbose: Logical. Whether to display detailed progress information. Default is TRUE.

Value

Character string. Path to the converted shinylive application directory.

Details

This function converts a Python Shiny application to shinylive format using the Python shinylive package. The application will run entirely in the browser using Pyodide (Python compiled to WebAssembly).

Requirements:

Python 3 must be available on the build machine
The Python shinylive package must be installed (pip install shinylive)
The app directory must contain an app.py file

Examples

if (FALSE) { # \dontrun{
convert_py_to_shinylive(
  appdir = "path/to/python/shiny/app",
  output_dir = "path/to/shinylive/output"
)
} # }
