Making a Chart React to Inputs
Now let's make our dashboard change based on the user inputs.
This exercise is part of the course
Building Dashboards with flexdashboard
Exercise instructions
- For the Origins map, make the chart respond to inputs by using the
show_trips_dfreactive "dataframe". - Run the document, change inputs, and observe what changes (and doesn't).
Hands-on interactive exercise
Have a go at this exercise by completing this sample code.
