React Calendar

The following project was a second entry into the first R Studio table contest held in 2020.

I don’t even know where to start with this one. I was looking at creative uses of a table and I landed on the idea of using a table as a calendar.

At the same time, I was really into figuring out how to incorporate custom CSS into shiny. I had found this awesome 8-bit inspired CSS library and immediately wanted to use it. You can view it here.

Building on my previous experience of the reactable package (and custom JS), I kind of went HAM on this one:

• In addition to the custom bezel, added animated gifs from the super mario games

• Added (borrwed) JS code to give the particle effect of snow falling (it was December afterall!)

• Using JS, set custom modals on certain dates to mimic the feel of a calendar invite in Outlook. These are also stylized to match the overall aesthetic.
