Overview
This package allow you to use billboard.js, a re-usable easy interface JavaScript chart library, based on D3 v4+.
A proxy method is implemented to smoothly update charts in shiny applications, see below for details.
Installation :
Install from CRAN with:

Bar / column charts
Simple bar chart :
library("billboarder")
# data
data("prod_par_filiere")
# a bar chart !
billboarder() %>%
bb_barchart(data = prod_par_filiere[, c("annee", "prod_hydraulique")], color = "#102246") %>%
bb_y_grid(show = TRUE) %>%
bb_y_axis(tick = list(format = suffix("TWh")),
label = list(text = "production (in terawatt-hours)", position = "outer-top")) %>%
bb_legend(show = FALSE) %>%
bb_labs(title = "French hydraulic production",
caption = "Data source: RTE (https://opendata.rte-france.com)")

Multiple categories bar chart :
library("billboarder")
# data
data("prod_par_filiere")
# dodge bar chart !
billboarder() %>%
bb_barchart(
data = prod_par_filiere[, c("annee", "prod_hydraulique", "prod_eolien", "prod_solaire")]
) %>%
bb_data(
names = list(prod_hydraulique = "Hydraulic", prod_eolien = "Wind", prod_solaire = "Solar")
) %>%
bb_y_grid(show = TRUE) %>%
bb_y_axis(tick = list(format = suffix("TWh")),
label = list(text = "production (in terawatt-hours)", position = "outer-top")) %>%
bb_legend(position = "inset", inset = list(anchor = "top-right")) %>%
bb_labs(title = "Renewable energy production",
caption = "Data source: RTE (https://opendata.rte-france.com)")

Stacked bar charts :
library("billboarder")
# data
data("prod_par_filiere")
# stacked bar chart !
billboarder() %>%
bb_barchart(
data = prod_par_filiere[, c("annee", "prod_hydraulique", "prod_eolien", "prod_solaire")],
stacked = TRUE
) %>%
bb_data(
names = list(prod_hydraulique = "Hydraulic", prod_eolien = "Wind", prod_solaire = "Solar"),
labels = TRUE
) %>%
bb_colors_manual(
"prod_eolien" = "#41AB5D", "prod_hydraulique" = "#4292C6", "prod_solaire" = "#FEB24C"
) %>%
bb_y_grid(show = TRUE) %>%
bb_y_axis(tick = list(format = suffix("TWh")),
label = list(text = "production (in terawatt-hours)", position = "outer-top")) %>%
bb_legend(position = "right") %>%
bb_labs(title = "Renewable energy production",
caption = "Data source: RTE (https://opendata.rte-france.com)")

Scatter plot
Classic :
library(billboarder)
library(palmerpenguins)
billboarder() %>%
bb_scatterplot(data = penguins, x = "bill_length_mm", y = "flipper_length_mm", group = "species") %>%
bb_axis(x = list(tick = list(fit = FALSE))) %>%
bb_point(r = 8)

You can make a bubble chart using size aes :
billboarder() %>%
bb_scatterplot(
data = penguins,
mapping = bbaes(
bill_length_mm, flipper_length_mm, group = species,
size = scales::rescale(body_mass_g, c(1, 100))
)
) %>%
bb_bubble(maxR = 25) %>%
bb_x_axis(tick = list(fit = FALSE))

Pie / Donut charts
library("billboarder")
# data
data("prod_par_filiere")
nuclear2016 <- data.frame(
sources = c("Nuclear", "Other"),
production = c(
prod_par_filiere$prod_nucleaire[prod_par_filiere$annee == "2016"],
prod_par_filiere$prod_total[prod_par_filiere$annee == "2016"] -
prod_par_filiere$prod_nucleaire[prod_par_filiere$annee == "2016"]
)
)
# pie chart !
billboarder() %>%
bb_piechart(data = nuclear2016) %>%
bb_labs(title = "Share of nuclear power in France in 2016",
caption = "Data source: RTE (https://opendata.rte-france.com)")

Lines charts
Time serie with Date (and a subchart)
library("billboarder")

type = "spline"
) %>%
bb_x_axis(tick = list(format = "%Y-%m", fit = FALSE)) %>%
bb_x_grid(show = TRUE) %>%
bb_y_grid(show = TRUE) %>%
bb_colors_manual("consommation" = "firebrick", "production" = "forestgreen") %>%
bb_legend(position = "right") %>%
bb_subchart(show = TRUE, size = list(height = 30)) %>%

Line range
# Generate data
dat <- data.frame(
date = seq.Date(Sys.Date(), length.out = 20, by = "day"),
y1 = round(rnorm(20, 100, 15)),
y2 = round(rnorm(20, 100, 15))
)
dat$ymin1 <- dat$y1 - 5
dat$ymax1 <- dat$y1 + 5
dat$ymin2 <- dat$y2 - sample(3:15, 20, TRUE)
dat$ymax2 <- dat$y2 + sample(3:15, 20, TRUE)
# Make chart : use ymin & ymax aes for range
billboarder(data = dat) %>%
bb_linechart(
mapping = bbaes(x = date, y = y1, ymin = ymin1, ymax = ymax1),
type = "area-line-range"
) %>%
bb_linechart(
mapping = bbaes(x = date, y = y2, ymin = ymin2, ymax = ymax2),
type = "area-spline-range"

bb_y_axis(min = 50)

Histogram & density
billboarder() %>%
bb_histogram(data = rnorm(1e5), binwidth = 0.25) %>%
bb_colors_manual()

With a grouping variable :
# Generate some data
dat <- data.frame(
sample = c(rnorm(n = 1e4, mean = 1), rnorm(n = 1e4, mean = 2)),
group = rep(c("A", "B"), each = 1e4), stringsAsFactors = FALSE
)
# Mean by groups
samples_mean <- tapply(dat$sample, dat$group, mean)
# histogram !
billboarder() %>%
bb_histogram(data = dat, x = "sample", group = "group", binwidth = 0.25) %>%
bb_x_grid(
lines = list(
list(value = unname(samples_mean['A']), text = "mean of s
