Reload data on page refresh

[Cory N]

I run a refresh script and load my data in my server.R file... https://github.com/corynissen/cook-county-tweet-dashboard/blob/master/cctweets/server.R

I also put in a button to refresh the data on command. This works.

The problem is that when I press the refresh button, my data file (data.Rdata) is in fact refreshed and the web page reflects the changes. But, if I refresh the whole page using the browser refresh button, it reverts back to the older data. data.Rdata is still up to date, however. 

So, how should I configure my server.R file such that on refresh or first page load, it updates the data.Rdata file and loads the new data?

Thanks for your help.

Ack, no! There are very few occasions where you should programmatically touch restart.txt.

In this case you just want to move the two lines that load your data to be inside your server function. It's this function that executes each time the page loads. You might also consider doing load("data.Rdata", envir=.GlobalEnv) if the data should be the same for everyone.

Every time you update your data set, you should do a "touch appName/restart.txt". Then every new visit to the app (including a refresh) will "know" to re-load things from scratch, including the data.
