shinyhelper 0.3.0

Welcome to shinyhelper 0.3.0 - this version of the package is a complete
re-write of the previous version and is NOT BACKWARDS COMPATIBLE. This
change has been to make the package less of a hack and more of a proper
extension of shiny. It also brings in a smoother interface for app
developers, with fewer function calls necessary for the package to work,
and less intrusion into the workings of your apps.

New features:

  - No longer dependent on package shinyjs
  - No need for the use_shinyhelper() function - this has been removed
  - Can now pass inline content as well as markdown files to your shiny
    app. This means that short help dialog boxes can be defined entirely
    within the UI of your app, where they should be. Just use the type
    argument to helper() with type = "inline"
  - The modals created by helper() now have easyClose = TRUE, so can be
    shut by clicking anywhere or pressing ESC
  - observe_helpers() now has no mandatory arguments; it can be called
    as-is
  - Information such as the size and content of help pages is now stored
    in data-* attributes of the HTML tags created by helper() -
    previously it was bodged together in the ID.
  - create_help_files() will create a directory called "helpfiles" by
    default.

Non-backwards compatible changes:

  - Various arguments to helper() have been renamed or replaced.
  - observe_helpers() now looks at the session object rather than input
    and output directly.
  - shinyhelperDemo() has been renamed shinyhelper_demo() to match other
    snake_case naming convention throughout the package.

Thanks:

Thanks go to Dean Attali for his feedback on v0.2.0

                     Changes in version 0.2.0.9000                      

This will become v0.3.0 - it is a complete re-write internally, changing
how the information to be displayed in the help box is conveyed from the
browser to the server, and giving the user the option of specifying
inline content.

The ui is also no longer cluttered with additional inputs.

New features:

  - can now specify inline content, with type = "inline"
  - no longer need to do use_shinyhelper() in UI
  - removed dependency on shinyjs - this is now purely an extension of
    shiny
  - modals now close by clicking anywhere, or pressing ESC
  - no longer need to pass input to observe_helpers
  - uses data-* attributes from HTML5 to store information, not
    non-standard attributes
  - published demo to shinyapps.io

shinyhelper 0.2.0

Welcome to shinyhelper v0.2.0 - this is an improved version on the
original package, with greater freedom and ease for you to customise
your app UI.

New Features:

  - dedicated icon_colour argument to helper() - no need to use style =
    "color = ...;" any more
  - set size of each help page individually with the size argument to
    helper() - no more named lists!
  - use a file name of your choice for your markdown help pages - no
    longer need to have the same as the shiny.tag input and output IDs
  - new shinyhelperDemo() function, to run a demo app that comes
    installed with the package

Deprecated Features:

  - the sizes and default_size arguments to observe_helpers() have been
    deprecated. They're still there, but will give a warning message if
    you try to use them.

I've also improved the documentation in the man pages.

                     Changes in version 0.1.1.9003                      

New features:

  - can set sizes of help pages in helper, not named list in
    observe_helpers()
  - can set custom filename for help pages - no longer need to use
    inputId and outputId although that's still the default.

Deprecated features:

  - sizes and default_size arguments to observe_helpers()

                     Changes in version 0.1.1.9002                      

New features:

  - example app installed with package
  - better documentation of functions
  - dedicated function shinyhelperDemo to run example app
