Alien sightings: add outputs

Now that the dashboard has inputs, you should build your outputs to actually see information about the reported UFO sightings.

Recall there will be two, a plot and a table. The plot should show the number sighted, by shape, for the selected state and time period. The table should show, for the selected state and time period, the number sighted, plus the average, median, minimum, and maximum duration (duration_sec) of the sightings. This will require using dplyr, or a method of your choosing, to manipulate the usa_ufo_sightings data.

Instructions

100 XP

  • Add a bar plot output named 'shapes', showing the number of UFOs sighted, by shape, for the selected state and time period.

    Make sure to create the output in the server, and also display it in the UI.

  • Add a table output showing named 'duration_table', by shape, the number of UFOs sighted, plus the average, median, minimum, and maximum duration of the sightings. Note that the table should only show data for the selected state and time period.
