This package is an web access point for VegBank, the vegetation plot database of the Ecological Society of America's Panel on Vegetation Classification, hosted by the National Center for Ecological Analysis and Synthesis (NCEAS). VegBank contains vegetation plot data, community types recognized by the U.S. National Vegetation Classification and others, and all ITIS/USDA plant taxa along with other taxa recorded in plot records. As a VegBank API client, the 'vegbankweb' package supports browsing, searching, and inspecting vegetation plot records and other supporting information in the VegBank database.
VegBank in general, and the vegbankweb package in particular, are open source, community projects. We [welcome contributions](./CONTRIBUTING.md) in many forms, including code, data, documentation, bug reports, testing, etc. Use the [VegBank Discussions](https://github.com/NCEAS/vegbank2/discussions), or email help@vegbank.org to discuss these contributions with us.
## Running Locally
This is a [Shiny App](https://shiny.posit.co/) built using the [Shiny R package](https://shiny.posit.co/r/getstarted/shiny-basics/lesson1/).
The app is currently configured to hit the [vegbankr](https://github.com/NCEAS/vegbankr) api for data.
To run the app locally, run the following commands in your IDE terminal:
```
~ % R
# or use `devtools::` if you prefer
~ remotes::install_github("NCEAS/vegbank-web")
~ % vegbankweb::run_app()
```
