Quarto Dashboards, Part 2
Now that we’ve acquired some skills for making dashboards, let’s spice them up a bit! This week, we’re going to add interactive content to our dashboards!
This week is different from the previous weeks in that you get to choose which tool you want to explore when creating interactive content on your dashboard. There are two options:
- Shiny
- Quarto Live (webR and Observable JavaScript)
Either tool will allow you to make interactive content, but the way that you go about making the content differs (pretty substantially). Since you may not have heard about or explored either of these tools I would strongly recommend poking around the resources below before making your decision!

format options
Quarto live requires you to use format: live-html which differs from the live-dashboard format you used last week. So, if you want to integrate webR into your dashboard from last week, you will need to rethink how to migrate your dashboard into an HTML file.
