R fails render on Shiny DashBoard after editing tabitems - r

Question

library(shiny)
library(tidyverse)
library(leaflet)
library(shinydashboard)
library(RColorBrewer)
library(viridis)
library(shinyWidgets)
ui <- dashboardPage(
dashboardHeader(title = "Basic dashboard"),
dashboardSidebar(
sidebarMenu(
menuItem("Dashboard", tabName = "dashboard", icon = icon("dashboard")
),
menuItem("Widgets", tabName = "widgets", icon = icon("th"))
)
),
dashboardBody(
# Boxes need to be put in a row (or column)
tabItems(
# First tab content
tabItem(tabName = "dashboard",
fluidRow(
box(plotOutput("plot1", height = 250)),
box(
title = "Controls",
sliderInput("slider", "Number of observations:", 1, 100, 50)
)
)
),
# Second tab content
tabItem(tabName = "widgets",
h2("Widgets tab content")
)
)
)
)
server <- function(input, output) {
set.seed(122)
histdata <- rnorm(500)
output$plot1 <- renderPlot({
data <- histdata[seq_len(input$slider)]
hist(data)
})
}
shinyApp(ui, server)
The above example, the output renders when the tabs dashboard and widgets are clicked seperately. In the dashboard tab, i have my slider input in the body.
Now when I change my slider to have it at the sidebar:
library(shiny)
library(tidyverse)
library(leaflet)
library(shinydashboard)
library(RColorBrewer)
library(viridis)
library(shinyWidgets)
ui = dashboardPage(
dashboardHeader(title = "Dashboard"),
dashboardSidebar(
sidebarMenu(
id = "sidebarmenu",
menuItem("menuItem1",
tabName = "tab1",
sliderInput("slider", "Number of observations:", 1, 100, 50)
)
,
menuItem("menuItem2", tabName = "tab2")
)
),
dashboardBody(
tabItems(
tabItem(tabName = "tab1",
tableOutput("myTable"),
),
tabItem(tabName = "tab2",
h2("Placeholder Cloud"),
plotOutput("myPlot"))
)
)
)
server <- function(input, output, session) {
tableData = reactiveVal(data.frame(x = 1:10, y = LETTERS[1:10]))
plotData = reactiveVal()
observeEvent(input$sidebarmenu, {
if(input$sidebarmenu == "tab2"){
#Code for tab 2
req(is.null(plotData()))
print("Tab 2 code is run")
plotData(runif(100))
}
})
output$myTable = renderTable({
tableData()
})
set.seed(122)
histdata <- rnorm(500)
output$myPlot = renderPlot({
data <- histdata[seq_len(input$slider)]
hist(data)
})
}
shinyApp(ui, server)
Problem here:
1) The text placeholder cloud, initially only rendered when the tab menuItem2 is clicked, now gets rendered together with the histogram which was supposed to render only when i clicked menuItem1
2) clicking on menuItem2 does not do anything. I would like to have tab2 when clicked, show a scatterplot as seen in this below block of code.
i.e., i would like to "integrate the below 3rd block of code" into the 2nd, the above so when i run the second block of code, when i click tab1, the input for the slider appears and renders the histogram. when i click tab2, the scatterplot will be rendered

req(is.null(plotData()))
print("Tab 2 code is run")
plotData(runif(100))
}
})
output$myTable = renderTable({
tableData()
})
output$myPlot = renderPlot({
plot(plotData())
})
}
shinyApp(ui, server)
Any help is appreciated.I am new to Shiny.

Answer 1

for your 2nd part you said "clicking on menuItem2 does not do anything."... but you don't have any action for menuItem2 see
menuItem("menuItem2", tabName = "tab2")
