Let’s face it, sometimes the struggle in R can become frustrating, depressing, daunting, or just monotonous.  For those moments when you need a little positive feedback, some encouragement, or a pat on the back, I thought this might help.  Maybe I should make this into a package.

I found this from Sweet Alert for Bootstrap forked from Tristan Edwards non-bootstrap SweetAlert.  This builds on the technique used in my previous post SVG + a little extra (d3.js) in RStudio Browser | No Pipes This Time.

# give yourself some positive feedback in R
# as you toil away on some difficult, but worthwhile task
# uses javascript sweet-alert https://github.com/t4t5/sweetalert

library(htmltools)
library(pipeR)

tagList(
  tags$script(
    '
    document.addEventListener("DOMContentLoaded", function(event) { 
      swal("Good job! Brilliant!", "You\'re doing worthwhile things.", "success")
    });
    '
  )
) %>>%
  attachDependencies(
    htmlDependency(
      name="sweet-alert"
      ,version="0.2.1"
      ,src=c("href"=
               "http://timelyportfolio.github.io/sweetalert/lib"
      )
      ,script = "sweet-alert.min.js"
      ,style = "sweet-alert.css"
    )
  ) %>>%
