Description

Hi!

We have R application which is display tables and charts in browser. Application is interactive, on every action it sends and receive some data from shiny server and change page in browser. Sending & receiving use websockets.

Also we have another application which can use data from R application. So i need to connect from Javascript on client side or from PHP on server side to shiny server websocket, send and receive some answers.

Is there any documentation how to connect to shiny server via websocket from JavaScript or PHP ?

Thank you in advance!
