A COVID-19 dashboard based on the flexdashboard R package. Updates to Corona virus figures are fed into the dashboard via the coronavirus R package by Rami Krispin.
Shinydashboard might be up and running on https://awol.shinyapps.io/coronavirus_shinydashboard/
It’s my first experiment with flexdashboard, an R package for creating interactive dashboards using RMarkdown. The dashboard contains charts and widgets based on R packages like plotly for interactive plots (e.g. filtering by clicking on legend elements, zooming), leaflet for interactive maps, and gganimate for animated plots.
- animated_plots.R creates any animated plot of how the number of confirmed cases per country developed over time. The resulting GIF file will be included in the dashboard as an image.
- parse_rki.R parses the latest figures for German federal status from the website of the Robert-Koch-Institut (RKI), Germany’s central scientific institution in the field of biomedicine. Saved output will be loaded in the dashboard and used to create the map of German federal states.
