The #rstats custom #shiny input binding saga continues! I thought using an SVG as an input was exciting, well that was just JS -> R. Now I used R -> JS to bind the values from a data frame to the colors of the SVG! FULL CIRCLE BABY! [Shout out @grrrck's #JS4Shiny workshop 🥰] pic.twitter.com/Is2XtjWGNO
