About dockViewR
Draggable dock panels for Shiny, learning that layout state belongs on the client
dockViewR wraps the dockview JavaScript library so Shiny apps can offer draggable, splittable, tabbed panel layouts — the IDE arrangement, driven from R. Three releases since May 2025 have taken it from a working widget to one with a proper server-side control surface: panels can be added, removed, selected and moved from the server, and the dock exposes a reactive proxy.
