documentation tweak for `onStart` argument in `shinyApp` help page

In the help page for shinyApp
it says
onStart: A function that will be called before the app is actually
run. This is only needed for ‘shinyAppObj’, since in the
‘shinyAppDir’ case, a ‘global.R’ file can be used for this
purpose.
I suspect that where it says ‘shinyAppObj’ it should actually be ‘shinyApp’ ?

I think you are right.
The ‘shinyAppObj’ case refers to the possibility of defining a shiny app without using a file based app format (No app.R or ui.R and server.R files) via shinyApp()
.
Something like:
library(shiny)
myShinyAppObj <- shinyApp(ui = fluidPage(), server = function(input, output, session) {})
is(myShinyAppObj)
runApp(myShinyAppObj)
The file based formats are handled by shinyAppDir()
or shinyAppFile()
which don't provide an onStart
argument. However, they still result in a shiny.appobj
.
