Resources in www folder when deployed in ShinyApps.io

[Bryan Morrisey]

I'm having trouble discovering the correct way to include an image in my project. Currently my app directory has the 'www' subdirectory, which in turn has an 'images' subdirectory. See below.

When I run the app locally using runApp(), all the images display correctly, but when I deploy the app to shinyapps.io, I get little broken image icons where all my images should be. In ui.R, I'm using the following code:

img(src="/images/icon.png")

Any hints on why this works locally but not when deployed?

Thanks!

Project structure:

• App
  
• server.R
• ui.R
• helpers.R
• /www
• /data
• /images
• icon.png

Try changing this:

src="/images/icon.png"

to this:

src="images/icon.png"

Thanks for the suggestion, I'll give this a shot later today when I'm back to my workstation and post with results.

Removing the leading '/' from the path solved this problem. Thanks.
