Hi, Could some one point me to an example of how to generate a markdown document based on inputs in Shiny? Ideally, I would render the markdown document in the application, rather than downloading it. This example is pretty close to what I am looking for, but I don't know what the contents of the …

There is a good Rstudio reference guide . I would read the Passing Parameters section carefully. Essentially you set up your Rmd document with the parameters defined in the header, then you use rmarkdown::render() to pass along a list of parameters to be used in the report. To use the shiny inputs …

I think this article ( Generating downloadable reports ) walks you through what you're trying to achieve. Let me know if that's not enough.

Thanks - that is exactly what I was looking for.

Is it possible to produce multiple reports (let's say, a report per region) when a user clicks on the button? If so, how would that work? I envision utilizing the purrr::walk() function to make this happen, but I'm not sure I'm applying it correctly. Also, is there a possibility of zipping the mult…

I'm looking for the production of multiple reports, one per region. I have a project in which the client has about 250 branch locations, and they would like the ability for their branch managers to receive a PDF report for their own branch location. We've mentioned to them the possibility of provid…

Brilliant Edgar, I'll give this a shot. EDIT: One more question: Should the .Rmd document be saved in the same directory as the app.R file, or should it be saved within the www folder? EDIT2: To answer my question in the EDIT above, this example suggests the .Rmd file just needs to be in the same …

Hi Edgar, Just to follow up on this, your code works once you adjust for a missing bracket: walk(~rmarkdown::render(tempReport, output_file = file, params = list(input$slider), .x, envir = new.env(parent = globalenv())))

Awesome! Thank you for the follow up
