Is there a way to display a .gif file in R shiny?

Question

In an R shiny app, I just want to display a .gif file. Is there a simple way to do this?

Answer 1

You can simply try the following code in R programming:

library(shiny)

ui <- fluidPage(

  img(src="sample.gif", align = "left",height='250px',width='500px')

)

server <- function(input, output, session) {

}

shinyApp(ui, server)

Note: You have to make sure that the app.R has a folder called www where the gif is saved.
