Quick update after conversation with Joe Cheng on 8-11-23: (EDIT 8-18-23 after checking webR package repo site)

• {haven} is now supported in webR!
• Table packages supported: {reactable}, {Tplyr}, {rtables}
• Table packages not supported at the moment: {huxtable}
• Visualization packages:
  • Supported: {ggplot2}, {cowplot},
  • Not supported at the moment: {visR}
• Shiny-related packages:
  • Supported: {htmltools}
  • Not supported at the moment: {shinyWidgets}, {tippy}, {golem}

You can access the latest webR testing console at https://webr.r-wasm.org/latest/ and verify if a package can be installed by running this command in the R console: webR::install('name_of_package')

To view the current status of package availability visit the webR package repository site at https://repo.r-wasm.org

Here's a really simple function to search on the repo:

is_in_webr <- function(pkg){
  wasm_pkgs_url <- "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/r-wasm/webr-repo/main/repo-packages"
  pkg %in% readr::read_lines(wasm_pkgs_url)
}
  
is_in_webr("dplyr")
#> [1] TRUE
