# TODO: Subapp global.R
#' Create a Shiny app object
#'
#' These functions create Shiny app objects from either an explicit UI/server
#' pair (\code{shinyApp}), or by passing the path of a directory that
#' contains a Shiny app (\code{shinyAppDir}). You generally shouldn't need to
#' use these functions to create/run applications; they are intended for
#' interoperability purposes, such as embedding Shiny apps inside a \pkg{knitr}
#' document.
#'
#' @param ui The UI definition of the app (for example, a call to
#' \code{fluidPage()} with nested controls)
#' @param server A server function
#' @param onStart A function that will be called before the app is actually run.
#' This is only needed for \code{shinyAppObj}, since in the \code{shinyAppDir}
#' case, a \code{global.R} file can be used for this purpose.
#' @param options Named options that should be passed to the `runApp` call. You
#' can also specify \code{width} and \code{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 \code{GET}
#' request to determine whether the \code{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.
#' @return An object that represents the app. Printing the object will run the
#' app.

#' ui = fluidPage(
#' numericInput("n", "n", 1),
