The goal of mailtoR is to implement a user interface for emails sending within your Shiny application. It’s a wrapper for the Mailtoui JavaScript library.
You can install the development version of mailtoR from Github with:
The mailtoR package is composed of two functions:
use_mailtoR(): put this function at the end of your Shiny ui, it activates the features of the Mailtoui library;
mailtoR(): use this function to create as many email links as you want (see examples below)
library(shiny)
library(mailtoR)
ui <- fluidPage(
mailtoR(email = "info@rstudio.com",
text = "Click here to send an email !"),
use_mailtoR()
)
server <- function(input, output) {}
shinyApp(ui = ui, server = server)
You can use many parameters to configure your email framework:
library(shiny)
library(mailtoR)
ui <- fluidPage(
mailtoR(email = "michaelscott@dundermifflin.org",
text = "click here to send an email",
subject = "URGENT",
cc = c("jimhalpert@dundermifflin.org", "dwightschrute@dundermifflin.org"),
body = "Hi Michaels, it's David Wallace, your branch needs to make more sales !!!!!!!"),
use_mailtoR()
)
server <- function(input, output) {}
shinyApp(ui = ui, server = server)
Using the glue package, you can ever create a reproducible text report that you’ll embed within your email:
library(shiny)
library(mailtoR)
ui <- fluidPage(
mailtoR(email = "random_person@random.org",
text = "click here to send an email",
subject = "Useful Information",
body = glue::glue(
"
Hi,
Did you know that the mtcars dataset has {nrow(mtcars)} rows and {ncol(mtcars)} columns ?
Best regards.
"
)),
use_mailtoR()
)
server <- function(input, output) {}
shinyApp(ui = ui, server = server)
