Getting Started

Check out our get started with tapyr blog post.

Using Devcontainer

To ensure a consistent development experience across all environments, we recommend using the devcontainer configuration with Visual Studio Code or DevPod for container-based development.

1. Start the Devcontainer: Open the project in VS Code and select "Reopen in Container" when prompted, or use the Command Palette (Ctrl+Shift+P) and choose "Remote-Containers: Reopen in Container". Alternatively, use DevPod following their instructions.
2. Activate the virtual environment:

   poetry shell

3. Run the application:

   shiny run app.py --reload

4. Execute tests:

   poetry run pytest

Note: The Devcontainer might limit some playwright features, such as codegen. For full functionality, consider a local setup.

Setting Up Locally with Poetry

For developers preferring a local setup without Devcontainer:

1. Install pipx: Ensure pipx is installed for managing isolated CLI apps.
2. Install Poetry:

   pipx install poetry

3. Clone the repository and navigate to it.
4. Install dependencies:

   poetry install
   playwright install

Attention: Follow any additional steps prompted by playwright install.

Deployment on Posit Connect

Deploy your application to Posit Connect by:

1. Exporting your API Key:

   export CONNECT_API_KEY="your_api_key_here"

2. Configuring Posit Connect:

   rsconnect add \
   --api-key $CONNECT_API_KEY \
   --server <MY_CONNECT_URL> \
   --name <SERVER_NAME>

3. Deploying:

   rsconnect deploy shiny -t "Tapyr App" .

Replace placeholders with your server URL, server name, and API key. Verify the deployment on Posit Connect for successful upload.
