How to use R package "formattable" in shiny dashboard? - r

Below is the code I have written. I am not able to use formattable in my shiny. formattable helps in formatting the tables and improves the visualization also.
library("shinydashboard")
library("shiny")
library("formattable")
body <- dashboardBody(
fluidRow(
column(width = 12,
box(tableOutput(formattable(test.table, list())))
)
)
)
ui <- dashboardPage(
dashboardHeader(title = "Column layout"),
dashboardSidebar(),
body
)
server <- function(input, output) {
test.table <- data.frame(lapply(1:8, function(x) {1:10}))
output$table <- renderTable({test.table})
}
shinyApp(ui = ui, server = server)

you have to use renderFormattable, formattableOutput and formattable, all three for it to work
library("shinydashboard")
library("shiny")
library("formattable")
body <- dashboardBody(
fluidRow(
column(width = 12,
box(formattableOutput("table"))
)
)
)
ui <- dashboardPage(
dashboardHeader(title = "Column layout"),
dashboardSidebar(),
body
)
server <- function(input, output) {
test.table <- data.frame(lapply(1:8, function(x) {1:10}))
output$table <- renderFormattable({formattable(test.table, list())})
}
shinyApp(ui = ui, server = server)

If I use the function includeHTML in shiny, javascript based graphing packages dont work

Once I add an HTML document in my shiny app my graphs stop populating. I am using bs4dash but shinydashboard also has the exact same issue.
Below is my code as well as a screenshot of what is happening.
Code before i add HTML document
Ui
library(shiny)
library(bs4Dash)
library(highcharter)
library(plotly)
ui <- dashboardPage(
dashboardHeader(title = "Basic dashboard"),
dashboardSidebar(),
dashboardBody(
box(width = 12,
plotlyOutput("plot1")
)
),
fluidRow(
box(
#width = 12,
#includeHTML("first.html")
)
)
)
)
Server
server <- function(input, output) {
a = rnorm(100)
output$plot1 = renderPlotly({
plot_ly(x = ~a, type = "histogram")
})
}
Now when i remove the hastags to display my HMTL document. My graph all of a sudden disappears.
Ui
library(shiny)
library(bs4Dash)
library(highcharter)
library(plotly)
ui <- dashboardPage(
dashboardHeader(title = "Basic dashboard"),
dashboardSidebar(),
dashboardBody(
box(width = 12,
plotlyOutput("plot1")
)
),
fluidRow(
box(
width = 12,
includeHTML("first.html")
)
)
)
)
Server
server <- function(input, output) {
a = rnorm(100)
output$plot1 = renderPlotly({
plot_ly(x = ~a, type = "histogram")
})
}
I would like to have the graph still show. What is going wrong in the code. Thank you
I cannot reproduce your problem. I just observed that your fluidRow is the fourth parameter of dashboardPage which, however, expects a dashboardControlbar. Both, putting the fluidRow into dashboardBody or wrapping it in a call to dashboardControlbar works for me.
So either it is your first.html or indeed "just" the missing dashboardControlbar.
first.html
<span>I am an external HTML</span>
app.R
library(shiny)
library(bs4Dash)
library(highcharter)
library(plotly)
ui <- dashboardPage(
dashboardHeader(title = "Basic dashboard"),
dashboardSidebar(),
dashboardBody(
box(width = 12,
plotlyOutput("plot1")
),
fluidRow(
box(
width = 12,
includeHTML("first.html")
)
)
)
)
ui2 <- dashboardPage(
dashboardHeader(title = "Basic dashboard"),
dashboardSidebar(),
dashboardBody(
box(width = 12,
plotlyOutput("plot1")
)
),
dashboardControlbar(
fluidRow(
box(
width = 12,
includeHTML("first.html")
)
)
)
)
server <- function(input, output) {
a = rnorm(100)
output$plot1 = renderPlotly({
plot_ly(x = ~a, type = "histogram")
})
}
shinyApp(ui, server)
## shinyApp(ui2, server) ## works likewise

Shiny seesion object is not found when trying to use shinyJS()

In the shiny app below Im trying to use shinyJS() to hide and display text but I get:
Error: shinyjs: could not find the Shiny session object. This usually happens when a shinyjs function is called from a context that wasn't set up by a Shiny session.
Do not bother that dataset does not exist its just an example
## app.R ##
library(shiny)
library(shinydashboard)
library(dplyr)
library(shinyjs)
ui <- dashboardPage(
dashboardHeader(title = "Biodiversity"),
dashboardSidebar(
actionButton("action","Submit")
),
dashboardBody(
useShinyjs(),
show(
div(id='text_div',
verbatimTextOutput("text")
)
),
uiOutput("help_text"),
plotlyOutput("plot")
)
)
server <- function(input, output) {
output$help_text <- renderUI({
HTML("<b>Click 'Show plot' to show the plot.</b>")
})
react<-eventReactive(input$action,{
hide("help_text")
omited <-subset(omited, omited$scientificName %in% isolate(input$sci)&omited$verbatimScientificName %in% isolate(input$ver))
})
}
shinyApp(ui = ui, server = server)
You can't use show() in the ui, these functions are used in the server. Remove that and it works. Sample:
## app.R ##
library(shiny)
library(shinydashboard)
library(dplyr)
library(shinyjs)
library(plotly)
ui <- dashboardPage(
dashboardHeader(title = "Biodiversity"),
dashboardSidebar(
actionButton("action","Submit")
),
dashboardBody(
useShinyjs(),
div(id='text_div',
verbatimTextOutput("text")
)
,
uiOutput("help_text"),
plotOutput("plot")
)
)
server <- function(input, output) {
output$help_text <- renderUI({
HTML("<b>Click 'Show plot' to show the plot.</b>")
})
observeEvent(input$action,{
hide("help_text")
output$plot <- renderPlot({
plot(1)
})
})}
shinyApp(ui = ui, server = server)
Output:

Render Box Dynamically in Shiny

how to render a box in shiny according to the data.
data is uploaded by user and it can have more data than this, so i have to create
a box dynamically.
i am running the below code and i am getting four box created in console not in shiny webpage.
please have a look, thankyou.
CODE
list_data <- list(c("AB","CD","EF","GH")) #data
ui <- dashboardPage(
dashboardHeader(title = "Text Mining"),
dashboardSidebar(
sidebarMenu(
menuItem("NLP Tree", tabName = "NLP")
)
),
dashboardBody(
tabItems(
tabItem(tabName = "NLP",
fluidRow(
tabBox(width = 12,height="500",
tabPanel("Sentences",
uiOutput("nlp_sentences_tree")
)
)
)
)
)
)
)
server <- function(input, output) {
output$nlp_sentences_tree <- renderUI({
for(i in list_data[[1]]){
print(box(width = 8,
i
)
)
}
})
}
shinyApp(ui = ui, server = server)
Have a look here, I've added a button to each just so something is in there
library(shinydashboard)
library(shiny)
list_data <- list(c("AB","CD","EF","GH")) #data
ui <- dashboardPage(
dashboardHeader(title = "Text Mining"),
dashboardSidebar(
sidebarMenu(
menuItem("NLP Tree", tabName = "NLP")
)
),
dashboardBody(
tabItems(
tabItem(tabName = "NLP",
fluidRow(
tabBox(width = 12,height="500",
tabPanel("Sentences",
uiOutput("nlp_sentences_tree")
)
)
)
)
)
)
)
server <- function(input, output) {
v <- list()
for (i in 1:length(list_data[[1]])){
v[[i]] <- box(width = 8, list_data[[1]][i],actionButton(i,i))
}
output$nlp_sentences_tree <- renderUI(v)
}
shinyApp(ui = ui, server = server)
Or with an lapply and tagList:
server <- function(input, output) {
output$nlp_sentences_tree <- renderUI({
a <- lapply(list_data[[1]], function(x) {
box(width = 8, x)
})
tagList(a)
})
}

ValueBox in R - Only number is shown

I am building a shiny dashboard and I want to implement a valueBox within the Dashboard.
body <- dashboardBody(
fluidRow(
valueBox(totalSales,"Total Sales",color="blue")
),
fluidRow(
DT::dataTableOutput("salesTable")
),
fluidRow(
DT::dataTableOutput("top10Sales")
)
)
And this is the result:
The number on the upper left is the variable totalSales but it isn't formatted in a valueBox.
Does anyone know what the problem is?
I appreciate your answers!!
My try with valueBoxOutput, but with the same result:
ui.R
body <- dashboardBody(
fluidRow(
valueBoxOutput("totalSales")
),
fluidRow(
DT::dataTableOutput("salesTable")
),
fluidRow(
DT::dataTableOutput("top10Sales")
)
)
server.R
function(input, output, session) {
output$salesTable = DT::renderDataTable(top10Sales)
output$top10Sales = DT::renderDataTable(top10Sales)
#output$totalSales = DT::renderDataTable(totalSales)
output$totalSales <- renderValueBox({
valueBox(totalSales, "Approval",color = "yellow")
})
}
And still the same result:
By the way: Infobox is working:
infoBox("test", value=1, width=3)
valueBox has to be used on the server side. To display a shiny dynamic UI element, there's generally a function (in this case valueBoxOutput) available to display it:
library(shinydashboard)
library(dplyr)
library(DT)
body <- dashboardBody(
fluidRow(
valueBoxOutput("totalCars")
),
fluidRow(
DT::dataTableOutput("table")
)
)
ui <- dashboardPage(header = dashboardHeader(),
sidebar = dashboardSidebar(),
body = body
)
server <- function(input, output) {
output$table = DT::renderDataTable(mtcars)
output$totalCars <- renderValueBox({
valueBox("Total", nrow(mtcars), color = "blue")
})
}
shinyApp(ui, server)

Dashboard body does not resize with change in DT length

The dashboard page will not expand when more rows are shown from the DTOutput. The output is visible, but looks like it is no longer contained within the dashboard page.
ui <- function() {
dashboardPage(
dashboardHeader(),
dashboardSidebar(),
dashboardBody(
mainPanel(width = 12,
fluidRow(DTOutput(outputId = "table"))
)))}
server <- function(input, output) {
data <- data.frame(1:100)
output$table <- renderDT(
data
)
}
shinyApp(ui = ui, server = server)
Screenshot of issue.
The gray background for the dashboard page ends around row 15.
This can be fixed by adding some CSS to the document:
section.content {
overflow-y: hidden;
}
MWE:
library(shiny)
library(shinydashboard)
library(DT)
library(htmltools)
ui <- function() {
dashboardPage(
dashboardHeader(),
dashboardSidebar(),
dashboardBody(
tags$head(tags$style("section.content { overflow-y: hidden; }")),
mainPanel(width = 12,
fluidRow(DTOutput(outputId = "table"))
)))}
server <- function(input, output) {
data <- data.frame(1:100)
output$table <- renderDT(
data
)
}
shinyApp(ui = ui, server = server)
