Make a starter shiny package template

[stephlocke]

Let's enable people to get a shiny app package going quickly.

• Can depend on the basic project or could wrap ThinkRs golem package https://github.com/ThinkR-open/golem
• Should include rize in the dependencies setup (needs a remote) https://github.com/cole-brokamp/rize

For reference here is the template used by golem https://github.com/ThinkR-open/golem/tree/master/inst/shinyexample Using that and renaming/filling stuff would be quite different from current functions starters has.

It covers a lot of the basic stuff we expect e.g. DESCRIPTION, R/ via: https://github.com/ThinkR-open/golem/blob/master/R/create_shiny_template.R

It then expects users to run numerous config / best practice things from usethis which I like starters to do by default including a bunch of stuff we can directly do because of our whoami config etc https://github.com/ThinkR-open/golem/blob/master/README.md#fill-the-description

Also, having a different foundation isn't something the package tries to avoid - create_package_project leverages usethis not create_basic_package for instance.

What I meant is that we probably do not want a template with a DESCRIPTION because only running devtools::use_descdiption() uses the default DESCRIPTION fields from .Renviron. In theory could the Shiny pkg creation use createPackageProject(), use the ThinkR template parts for R/ and inst/ and add a few dependencies?

[maelle]

Big pros IMO of making it depend on createPackageProject() is less work duplication, a good example for further such packages (for addins, RMarkdown templates...) and we could have someone fairly new contribute 😇

But maybe there are elements of createPackageProject() we do not want here?
