Communication between these disparate asynchronous processes is often required. Currently the statistical computing language R provides no built in features to handle interprocess communication between R processes while they are performing computations. Several packages have been written to handle the passing of text or binary data between processes (e.g. `txtq`, `liteq`, and `zmq`). `ipc` allows you to easily pass R objects between processes along with an associated signal, and have handler functions automatically execute them in the receiving process.\n\nThere is particular focus on supporting asynchronous evaluation in Shiny applications. [Examples are included in the package](https://github.com/fellstat/ipc/tree/master/inst/apps) showing how to perform useful tasks such as:\n\n* Updating reactive values from within future\n* Progress bars for long running async tasks\n* Interrupting async tasks based on user input.\n\n## Installation\nTo install the latest version from [CRAN](https://CRAN.R-project.org/package=ipc)\nrun:\n```\ninstall.packages(\"ipc\")\n```\nTo install the latest development version from the github repo run:\n```\n# If devtools is not installed:\n# install.packages(\"devtools\")\n\ndevtools::install_github(\"fellstat/ipc\")\n```\n\n## Resources\n\n\n* For a more detailed description of what can be done with the ``ipc`` package, **[see the introductory vignette](http://htmlpreview.github.io/?https://github.com/fellstat/ipc/blob/master/inst/doc/shinymp.html)**.\n\nTo run an example application locally use:\n```\nlibrary(ipc)\nshinyExample()\n```\n\n\n## Development\n\n[Development Practices and Policies for Contributers](../../wiki/How-to-Contribute:-Git-Practices)\n","funding_links":[],"categories":["R","Developer Tools"],"sub_categories":["Scaling"],"project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Ffellstat%2Fipc","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Ffellstat%2Fipc","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Ffellstat%2Fipc/lists"}
