Hi @Swapna is your flexdashboard using shiny? If so, it should be stated in the header (runtime: shiny).
This is important since if this is the case you would need an environment where you can run the shiny code.
If not, you can just knit the flexdashboard to html and use that for your iframe.

Knit flexdashboard to html

I created a flexdashboard with runtime shiny and I want to knit the output to html to share out this document, i.e. to people that don't use or know what R is. When I try to knit using rmarkdown::render(input = "mydashboard.Rmd", output_format = "html_document") I get an error, it looks like it created the file but it's not where to be found. output file: mydashboard.knit.md Error: path for html_dependency not provided Am I missing something? RStudio Version: Version 1.1.383 platform x86_64-w64-mingw32 arch x86_64 os mingw32 system x86_64, mingw32 status major 3 minor 3.3 year 2017 month 03 day …

@ginberg Thanks for replying.
I am working with static flexdashboard. I have placed the below code in markdown code

library(leaflet)
library(widgetframe)
library(dplyr)
l<-leaflet() %>% addTiles()
htmlwidgets::saveWidget(frameableWidget(l),'leaflet.html')

Please let me know if this is the correct method to use my flexdashboard inside a iframe

should i add anything else in the code. Please let me know

Thanks

@Swapna I have understood your question differently: I thought you wanted to embed the whole flexdashboard into another website using iframe. But you just want to have the leaflet in an iframe?
You can save the whole dashboard to html using rmarkdown::render("my_dashboard.Rmd")

Anyway, does your approach work for you?

Hi
Can you please tell me where should i use this command in the flexdashboard rmarkdown::render("my_dashboard.Rmd")
How can I save the whole dashboard to html using above command

[ginberg]

You can run this command from the Console in RStudio

[Swapna]

When i run the above code rmarkdown::render() it says file not exist

So just help me to understand that using the above code can I publish using Rstudio connect the flexdashboard to a HTML document which can be embedded into an Iframe

Thanks

After you have rendered your Rmd to an html file using rmarkdown::render, you can include it in an iframe like this:
<iframe src="my_flexdashboard.html" height="200" width="300" title="my flexdashboard"></iframe>

Thanks I could render my Rmd file to Html using
rmarkdown::render(input="~/Flexdashboard/Flex_forecast.Rmd",output_file = "forecast.html",output_format ="flex_dashboard"). Now I need to check if I could include in an Iframe

Thanks for all the help

@ginberg I would also like to understand If I automate the publishing of my flexdashboard using schedule of RStudio connect then how can I automate rmarkdown::render() each time to generate the updated HTML file.
Because the URL for the html file takes the port of Rserver i.e 8787 below is the link
http://ec2-15-185-51-107.me-south-1.compute.amazonaws.com:8787/files/Flexdashboard/forecast.html
whereas Rstudio connect takes the port 3939
Please help me to understand this
Thanks

You are asking a very different question, to get the attention you need it would be better if you ask it on a new topic under the #r-admin:rstudio-connect category.
