Golem Module Template Function

Module template can be used to extend golem module creation mechanism with your own template, so that you can be even more productive when building your {shiny} app. Module template functions do not aim at being called as is by users, but to be passed as an argument to the add_module() function.

module_template(name, path, export, ph_ui = " ", ph_server = " ", ...)

Arguments

name

The name of the module.

path

The path to the R script where the module will be written. Note that this path will not be set by the user but via add_module().

export

Should the module be exported? Default is FALSE.

ph_ui, ph_server

Texts to insert inside the modules UI and server. For advanced use.

...

Arguments to be passed to the module_template function.

Value

Used for side effect

Details

Module template functions are a way to define your own template function for module. A template function that can take the following arguments to be passed from add_module():

• name: the name of the module

• path: the path to the file in R/

• export: a TRUE/FALSE set by the export param of add_module()

If you want your function to ignore these parameters, set ... as the last argument of your function, then these will be ignored. See the examples section of this help.
