title: 'shinyStep: User-Editable R Functions in ''Shiny'' Apps with a Step Debugger'
version: 0.5.1
abstract: 'A pair of ''Shiny'' modules that let end users of a ''Shiny'' application
  author their own R functions directly in the browser. Host apps can expose these
  modules as extension points where user-supplied code augments or replaces built-in
  logic, without requiring users to modify the app''s source. Each module embeds an
  ''Ace'' editor with a structured argument table, an in-frame R console rooted in
  the paused function''s local environment, and a step debugger that handles for,
  while, repeat, and if/else blocks at any nesting depth. Two module flavours are
  provided: solo editors for testing a function in isolation with literal argument
  values, and embedded editors for pausing a function mid-execution inside a larger
  host program.'
