Jonas Hagenberg, Tutorial: Dynamically adding and removing Shiny modules

As the complexity of Shiny apps increases, the code base gets more and more confusing. Modules are the Shiny built-in solution to manage this complexity. One advantage of modules is that they allow code reuse as a module can be called several times in a Shiny app. This is even possible during runtime by the user of the app. In this tutorial I will demonstrate how you can dynamically add and remove modules. For this, I will first discuss how this concept works and which parts in the Shiny code are required for this. Then, I will code an example app to demonstrate this functionality.

hi there thanks for the effort being done on your part, but is it a good practice in shiny dev process to add data in a separate module ? secondly how do I insert data from 3rd party sources which takes real-time format or near real-time, let say that I want my app use data which comes fresh from the yahoo weather section every time a user makes a call to the server ? are there any tutorials or guides as to how one do that ?
best regards
