# TODO: Subapp global.R

#' Create a Shiny app object
#'
#' These functions create Shiny app objects from either an explicit UI/server
#' pair (`shinyApp`), or by passing the path of a directory that contains a
#' Shiny app (`shinyAppDir`).
#'
#' Normally when this function is used at the R console, the Shiny app object is
#' automatically passed to the `print()` function, which runs the app. If
#' this is called in the middle of a function, the value will not be passed to
#' `print()` and the app will not be run. To make the app run, pass the app
#' object to `print()` or [runApp()].
#'
#' @param ui The UI definition of the app (for example, a call to
#'   `fluidPage()` with nested controls).
#'
#'    If bookmarking is enabled (see `enableBookmarking`), this must be
#'    a single argument function that returns the UI definition.
#' @param server A function with three parameters: `input`, `output`, and
#'   `session`. The function is called once for each session ensuring that each
#'   app is independent.
#' @param onStart A function that will be called before the app is actually run.
#'   This is only needed for `shinyAppObj`, since in the `shinyAppDir`
#'   case, a `global.R` file can be used for this purpose.
#' @param options Named options that should be passed to the `runApp` call
#'   (these can be any of the following: "port", "launch.browser", "host", "quiet",
#'   "display.mode" and "test.mode"). You can also specify `width` and
#'   `height` parameters which provide a hint to the embedding environment
#'   about the ideal height/width for the app.
#' @param uiPattern A regular expression that will be applied to each `GET`
#'   request to determine whether the `ui` should be used to handle the
#'   request. Note that the entire request path must match the regular
#'   expression in order for the match to be considered successful.
#' @param enableBookmarking Can be one of `"url"`, `"server"`, or
#'   `"disable"`. The default value, `NULL`, will respect the setting from
#'   any previous calls to  [enableBookmarking()]. See [enableBookmarking()]
#'   for more information on bookmarking your app.
#' @return An object that represents the app. Printing the object or passing it
#'   to [runApp()] will run the app.
#'

#' Load an app's supporting R files
#'
#' Loads all of the supporting R files of a Shiny application. Specifically,
#' this function loads any top-level supporting `.R` files in the `R/` directory
#' adjacent to the `app.R`/`server.R`/`ui.R` files.
#'
#' Since Shiny 1.5.0, this function is called by default when running an
#' application. If it causes problems, there are two ways to opt out. You can
#' either place a file named `_disable_autoload.R` in your R/ directory, or
#' set `options(shiny.autoload.r=FALSE)`. If you set this option, it will
#' affect any application that runs later in the same R session, potentially
#' breaking it, so after running your application, you should unset option with
#' `options(shiny.autoload.r=NULL)`
#'
#' @details The files are sourced in alphabetical order (as determined by
#'   [list.files]). `global.R` is evaluated before the supporting R files in the
#'   `R/` directory.
#' @param appDir The application directory. If `appDir` is `NULL` or
#'   not supplied, the nearest enclosing directory that is a Shiny app, starting
#'   with the current directory, is used.
#' @param renv The environmeny in which the files in the `R/` directory should
#'   be evaluated.
#' @param globalrenv The environment in which `global.R` should be evaluated. If
#'   `NULL`, `global.R` will not be evaluated at all.
