Description

How do you bring modern, interactive data visualizations into R without writing JavaScript? The nivo.bubblechart package lets R users create responsive, animated circle packing charts using a familiar data frame workflow. Built on top of the Nivo visualization library (React + D3), it provides clean defaults, customizable colors and interactivity, and seamless Shiny integration with click and hover events - all from a few lines of R code. I will demo the package live and share lessons learned from building an htmlwidgets-based bridge between R and a React component library.
