Web Translator for R

Question

I am looking for a web translator for R. To be more precise, I am looking for an IDE, for example http://codepad.org/ , where I can provide the code and the server must execute and give me the exit.

I went through applications such as Rapache, but then they do not meet my requirement, because they are not intended to receive code from the client, execute it and provide the result.

In short, I could find a web application that receives input from the user, runs a specific R script, and then puts the output in a neatly formed way, but not a web application that accepts R code, executes it, and then puts it in a neat way .

Answer 1

Several possibilities come to mind:

• ideone provides many different languages, one of which is R. When you run the script, you are given a link that you can embed on a web page (but, unfortunately, does not show the result). If you create an account, you can also save your previously run scripts.
  • Pro: you can easily insert /plain/ into your script and you can get a URL that can be sent directly to R. For example, if the URL of your script is online " http://ideone.com/PIkeD ", you can use source("http://ideone.com/plain/PIkeD") to download your script directly from ideone servers.
  • Cons: Stuck in version 2.11. There may not always be the latest version of R. Currently at 3.2.2. Unable to install other packages. The output is not displayed in the inline script.
• The Cloudstat console launches the newer version of R (2.15.1) with quite a few widely used packages. It used to have a really interesting blog / laptop interface that integrated code and output, but is currently unavailable.
• Pro: Useful for launching something rather simple in a pinch.

Cons: Unable to install other packages. The output is not formatted in code blocks, so it is easy to read. At the moment, you cannot save or share the code that you have executed. C > Crunch offers a complete configuration of RStudio, launches the latest version of R and allows you to install the packages you need. This may be more convenient than installing your own RStudio server. However, you need to request an account.

• Pros: Almost everything you expect from R / RStudio. Allows the use of Sweave and R tags to automatically create documents. These documents may also be publicly available. Here is an example where I placed the page in a shared folder called "gallery": http://crunch.kmi.open.ac.uk/people/~mrdwab/gallery/howzat.html
• Cons: sometimes the download time is a little slow, but when I start the RStudio desktop, I don’t know how Crunch compares with starting my own RStudio server.

Lately, there has also been a decent buzz around R-Fiddle as an interesting way to share R-code. This seems to be what gives a powerful http://www.rdocumentation.org/ site.

Answer 2

RStudio IDE (Server) may be the answer to your question. Take a look at http://www.rstudio.com/ide/

Answer 3

You can try Rcloud, which we are developing in the AT & T research lab. Its open-source IDE, such as Rstudio / IPYthon, has more advanced collaboration features. https://github.com/att/rcloud

RCloud is an environment for collaboratively creating and sharing data analysis scripts. RCloud allows you to mix code analysis in R, HTML5, Markdown, Python and others. Like Sage, iPython and Mathematica laptops, RCloud provides a laptop interface that makes it easy to record a session and comment on it using text, equations and supporting images.
