How to automatically trigger an action button in R Shiny - r

I'd like to run the action button automatically when users open/land on 'tab1'. Therefore, instead of clicking the Refresh button to view the date, I'd like to have the date printed automatically. Is there a way to do this? My real code is more complicated that this simple example. However, it demonstrates what I'd like to do. Thank you!
library(shiny)
ui <- fluidPage(
shiny::tabPanel(value = 'tab1', title = 'Data page',
br(),
shiny::actionButton("btn", "Refresh!"),
br(),
shiny::verbatimTextOutput("out")
)
)
server <- function(input, output, session) {
curr_date <- shiny::eventReactive(input$btn, {
format(Sys.Date(), "%c")
})
output$out <- shiny::renderText({
print(curr_date())
})
}
shinyApp(ui, server)

You can make curr_date reactive to the tabset:
library(shiny)
ui <- fluidPage(
tabsetPanel(
tabPanel(value = 'tab1', title = 'Data page',
br(),
actionButton("btn", "Refresh!"),
br(),
verbatimTextOutput("out")
),
tabPanel(value = 'tab2', title = 'Other tab'),
id = "tabset"
)
)
server <- function(input, output, session) {
curr_date <- eventReactive(list(input$btn, input$tabset), {
req(input$tabset == 'tab1')
format(Sys.time(), "%c")
})
output$out <- renderText({
print(curr_date())
})
}
shinyApp(ui, server)

You should use reactiveValues() and observeEvent() for this. Inside server function:
server <- function(input, output, session) {
text_out <- reactiveValues(date = format(Sys.Date(), "%c"))
observeEvent(input$btn, {
text_out$date <- "something else"
})
output$out <- renderText({
print(text_out$date)
}

using observeEvent for numericInput in shiny app

I have a simple shiny app which I would like to show a warning if user input is bigger than a threshold.
library(shiny)
library(shinyalert)
ui <- fluidPage(
numericInput("obs", "Observations:", 1),
verbatimTextOutput("value")
)
server <- function(input, output) {
observeEvent(input$obs,{
if(!is.na(input$obs) && input$obs >10){
shinyalert("warning!", "input too big", type = "warning")
}
})
output$value <- renderText({ input$obs })
}
shinyApp(ui, server)
if user is not quick enough to provide input, let say for the input$obs = 110 we have 1 second delay between putting the second and third value the popups warning will appear !
How should I fix this ?
Use shinyCatch from spsComps to make your life easier
library(shiny)
library(spsComps)
ui <- fluidPage(
numericInput("obs", "Observations:", 1),
verbatimTextOutput("value")
)
server <- function(input, output) {
output$value <- renderText({
shinyCatch({
if(!is.na(input$obs) && input$obs >10) warning("input too big")
}, blocking_level = "warning", prefix = "")
input$obs
})
}
shinyApp(ui, server)
when blocking_level = "warning" is specified shinyCatch blocks following code in the renderText expression. So when your number is larger than 10, the new input$obs will not be rendered.
Here's what users see
Here's what developers see in the console
You can use showNotification() from shiny itself:
library(shiny)
ui <- fluidPage(
numericInput("obs", "Observations:", 1),
verbatimTextOutput("value")
)
server <- function(input, output) {
observeEvent(input$obs,{
if(!is.na(input$obs) && input$obs >10){
showNotification(
ui = tags$h4("Input Too Big!"),
type = "warning"
)
}
})
output$value <- renderText({ input$obs })
}
shinyApp(ui, server)
Or {shinytoastr}:
library(shiny)
library(shinytoastr)
ui <- fluidPage(
shinytoastr::useToastr(),
numericInput("obs", "Observations:", 1),
verbatimTextOutput("value")
)
server <- function(input, output) {
observeEvent(input$obs,{
if(!is.na(input$obs) && input$obs >10){
shinytoastr::toastr_warning(
message = "Decrease it.",
title = "Input too big!"
)
}
})
output$value <- renderText({ input$obs })
}
shinyApp(ui, server)
Or {spsComps} as #lz100 mentioned. The choice is yours.

Shiny, two action buttons, it only responds to the second button and not to the first button

Tell me in R Shiny, there are two action buttons. I want to update the data according to the button I press. But for some reason it only responds to the second button and not to the first button. What is the solution?
if (interactive()) {
ui <- fluidPage(
sidebarLayout(
sidebarPanel(
actionButton("action_1", "Get 1"),
actionButton("action_2", "Get 2"),
),
mainPanel(
textOutput("result")
),
)
)
server <- function(input, output) {
data <- eventReactive(input$action_1, 1)
data <- eventReactive(input$action_2, 2)
output$result <- renderText(data())
}
shinyApp(ui, server)
}
The second line of this piece of code overwrites the first one:
data <- eventReactive(input$action_1, 1)
data <- eventReactive(input$action_2, 2)
You can do:
ui <- fluidPage(
sidebarLayout(
sidebarPanel(
actionButton("action_1", "Get 1"),
actionButton("action_2", "Get 2"),
),
mainPanel(
textOutput("result")
),
)
)
server <- function(input, output) {
result <- reactiveVal()
observeEvent(input$action_1, { result(1) })
observeEvent(input$action_2, { result(2) })
output$result <- renderText(result())
}
shinyApp(ui, server)
}
If you have many buttons you can simply add a class to it and some simple JS to monitor the last click like so:
library(shiny)
monitorJS <- "$(document).on('click', '.monitor', function () {
Shiny.onInputChange('last_click',this.id);
});"
ui <- fluidPage(
tags$head(tags$script(monitorJS)),
sidebarLayout(
sidebarPanel(
uiOutput("buttons")
),
mainPanel(
textOutput("result")
),
)
)
server <- function(input, output, session) {
output$buttons <- renderUI({
a <- list()
for(i in 1:200){
id <- paste0("action_",i)
name <- paste0("Get ",i)
a[[i]] <- actionButton(id, name, class = "monitor")
}
tagList(a)
})
data <- eventReactive(input$last_click,{
# Your click ligic here
value <- gsub("action_","",input$last_click)
value
})
output$result <- renderText({
data()
})
}
shinyApp(ui, server)

In shiny, how to have a new actionButton when a different variable is selected?

I have a simple task of printing the output of a call to table() on a selected variable.
I want to display the output when the button "Print" is clicked.
In the following example, once the button is clicked, the output is always triggered when I change the selected variable.
If I clicked "Print", and then change the selected variable, I want the ouput to be gone, waited to be printed again when clicking "Print".
Thank you!
Here is a reproducible example:
library(shiny)
data = iris
ui = fluidPage(
uiOutput("selectvar"),
actionButton("print", "Print"),
verbatimTextOutput("info")
)
server = function(input, output, session)
{
output$selectvar = renderUI({
selectInput("selectedvar",
"Select variable",
choices = colnames(iris))
})
tab = reactive( table(data[[input$selectedvar]]) )
observeEvent(input$print, {
output$info = renderPrint( tab() )
})
}
shinyApp(ui, server)
That's because output$info is reactive to tab(), even while it is enclosed in an observeEvent. I think this app does what you want:
library(shiny)
data = iris
ui = fluidPage(
uiOutput("selectvar"),
actionButton("print", "Print"),
verbatimTextOutput("info")
)
server = function(input, output, session)
{
output$selectvar = renderUI({
selectInput("selectedvar",
"Select variable",
choices = colnames(iris))
})
tab <- reactiveVal()
observeEvent(input$selectedvar, {
tab(NULL)
})
observeEvent(input$print, {
tab(table(data[[input$selectedvar]]))
})
output$info <- renderPrint({
tab()
})
}
shinyApp(ui, server)

actionButton not triggered in shiny

I don't understand why my actionButton is not triggered, when I click on it nothing happen. After having tried several things I don't know what to do...
My app:
ui :
navbarPage("page", id = "nav",
tabPanel("tab",
navbarPage(title = icon("caret-right"), id = "nav",
tabPanel("Geocodage adresse",
fluidRow(style = "padding:20px;",
textInput("geocod_Adress", "Adresse a geocoder:"),
actionButton("geocod_Geocod", "Calcul des coordonnees", icon("compass")),
verbatimTextOutput("coordonnees")
)
)
)
)
)
Server:
function(input, output, session) {
ntext < - eventReactive(input$geocod_Geocod, {
return(input$geocod_Adress)
})
output$nText < - renderText({
ntext()
})
}
Instead of coordonnees, it should be nText, and not ntext, since you want to refer to the renderText, and not to the eventReactive. Working example:
library(shiny)
ui <- fluidPage(
fluidRow(style = "padding:20px;",
textInput("geocod_Adress", "Adresse a geocoder:"),
actionButton("geocod_Geocod", "Calcul des coordonnees", icon("compass")),
verbatimTextOutput("nText")
)
)
server <-function(input, output, session) {
ntext <- eventReactive(input$geocod_Geocod, {
return(input$geocod_Adress)
})
output$nText <- renderText({
ntext()
})
}
shinyApp(ui,server)

How can you pass a url to an iframe via textInput() in r shiny?

I need to embed a webpage reached through a URL inputted by the user.
I found this script but I can't make the iframe depend on a textInput() containing a URL. This example fails and I am not sure why.
library(shiny)
ui <- fluidPage(
textInput('url','url',value = "www.google.com"),
uiOutput('o')
)
server <- function(input, output, session) {
output$o = renderUI({
tags$iframe(src=input$url)
})
}
shinyApp(ui, server)
You can do like this:
library(shiny)
ui <- fluidPage(titlePanel("Getting Iframe"),
sidebarLayout(
sidebarPanel(
textInput("url", label = "Enter url"),
actionButton("go", "Go")
),
mainPanel(
htmlOutput("frame")
)
))
server <- function(input, output) {
output$frame <- renderUI({
validate(need(input$go, message=FALSE))
tags$iframe(src=isolate(input$url), height=600, width=535)
})
}
shinyApp(ui, server)
