rsurveyjs 0.1.0

Initial release

• First release of rsurveyjs: Minimal, powerful R bindings for SurveyJS v2.x

Features

• Render SurveyJS surveys, forms, and quizzes from R using simple JSON-compatible lists
• Full Shiny integration:
  • Get completed responses via input$<id>_data
  • Track live responses while typing via input$<id>_data_live
  • Dynamically update schema, data, theme, or language from the server
• Easy theming and localization:
  • Choose from built-in SurveyJS themes
    
  • Customize styles via CSS variables (theme_vars)
    
  • Instantly localize the UI with the locale argument, or provide multi-locale schemas
• Advanced extensibility:
  • Inject custom JavaScript (for validation, events, or logic) via pre_render_hook, post_render_hook, and complete_hook
  • Listen to any SurveyJS event or add custom behaviors
• Real-world vignettes and recipes:
  • Survey Schema Recipes: Copy-paste building blocks for all question types, logic, and validation
  • Themes, Styling and Localization
  • Advanced JS Hooks & Events
  • Shiny and Database Integration: Persistent survey storage with database examples

Philosophy & Limitations

• Keeps all validation and rendering on the JS (SurveyJS) side—no R-side schema validation
• No bundled visual designer or SurveyJS Creator (see SurveyJS licensing for those features)
• Custom widgets/plugins are not officially supported, but power users can inject JavaScript for advanced cases
