Size of produced HTML
I created an simple dashboard with 3 value Boxes and two 12 row x 6 column tables. The resulted HTML size is five MB! Can I control somehow the size of the HTML?
@McCompexpert same question, unfortunately no answer yet - I asked the question on stackoverflow as well
By default, flexdashboard produce self contained document. All the data are encoded into the html file to produce a standalone file. This is why it is of big size. If you choose to not produce standalone file, the size will reduce. You need self_contained = FALSE in the flex_dashboard function. In the yaml, add the option self_contained: false for this format. This is the same option as in other format.
This should produce a html file (small size) and a resource folder with all the information needed for the html to render. You can then publish all this somewhere.
I let you try.
For reference, there are already some question about this topic in https://community.rstudio.com where it is a great place to ask such questions.
