Question. I want to use #shiny to render image but the image is not locally hosted. renderImage only seems to work with locally hosted images. Is there a work around? #posit#rstats
@chrisadamsecon Is the image hosted somewhere else on the internet? If so you can use tags$img(src = "<https://placekitten.com/200/200>", alt="A picture of a cat used as a placeholder image") in your UI.
renderImage() is mostly a wrapper around doing that but for images that exist on the server and aren't hosted online somewhere else.
