Production-gradeshiny applications, from creation to deployment.
golem is an opinionated framework that sets the standard for building production-gradeshiny applications. It provides a structured environment that enforces best practices, fosters maintainability, and ensures your applications are reliable, and ready for deployment in real-world environments.
Withgolem, developers can focus on creating high-quality, robustshiny apps with confidence, knowing that the framework guides them through every step of the development process.
Installation
- You can install the stable version from CRAN with:
install.packages("golem")- You can install the development version fromGitHub with:
# install.packages("remotes")remotes::install_github("Thinkr-open/golem")# Stable development version# remotes::install_github("Thinkr-open/golem@dev") # Bleeding edge development versionGet Started
Create a new app with the project template from RStudio:

Or use thegolem::create_golem() function:
golem::create_golem("myapp")See your app in action by runninggolem::run_dev() function.
Then, follow the scripts at:
dev/01_start.Rto configure your project at launchdev/02_dev.Rfor day to day developmentdev/03_deploy.Rto build the deployment enabler for your app
