How do I add a link to open a pdf file in a new window from my R shiny app? -
i can use a() add hyperlink in external site shiny app,
a("google",href="http://www.google.com")
but how make link open pdf (or similar) file? seems should simple, can't find examples. question similar one:
add link r shiny application link opens in new browser tab
but don't know how structure href part- put file opened , how specify location? i've tried simple things http:///c:/folder/file.pdf or file:///c:/folder/file.pdf file either not found or wont open.
i new shiny , have no html experience, suggestions appreciated.
thanks
put pdf file inside "www" directory (it has subdirectory inside directory there ui.r
, server.r
)
then can run shiny with:
a("click on me",target="_blank",href="myfile.pdf")
