conditionalPanel to link sidebars and make appropriate selections - Shiny R - shiny

I have an UI designed as shown in the picture below, and I want to actually set a condition here such that:
UI.R
On selecting/checking the box "Saddle Joint" from the sidebar location, I want the options "GEO_10500", "GEO_77298" to be chosen from the sidebar Datasets:. Here's the server code I tried and it didn't work. Let me know how this could be achieved. Thanks!
Server.R
conditionalPanel(
condition = "input.location = 'Saddle Joint'",
updateCheckboxGroupInput(session,
"datasets",
"Datasets:",
choices=c("GEO_10500", "GEO_77298"),
selected = "GEO_10500"
)
)
Server.R
`
observe({
if ("input.location== 'Saddle Joint'") {
updateCheckboxGroupInput(session,
"datasets", "Datasets:", choices = c("GEO_15602","GEO_21537"),
selected= c("GEO_15602","GEO_21537"))
}
})

data table uiOutput disappears on redraw

I am displaying widgets within a DT datatables in an R Shiny app.
Following a similar approach to here, widgets are inserted as text into the data table. Then using the option escape = FALSE, the text of the widgets is interpretated as HTML and the widget is displayed.
This approach has worked very well, until I came to redraw the datatable. On redraw the widgets within the table no longer appear. You can test with the following example. When "Redraw" is clicked, the UI output showing the text "here" disappears.
# UI
ui = fluidPage(
actionButton("draw", "Redraw"),
# uiOutput("ui"),
DT::dataTableOutput("classify_table")
)
# server
server = function(input, output, session) {
output$ui = renderUI({ p("here") })
output$classify_table <- DT::renderDataTable({
df = data.frame(
rows = input$draw,
UI = as.character(uiOutput("ui")),
stringsAsFactors = FALSE
)
DT::datatable(
df,
escape = FALSE,
options = list(
dom = "t",
preDrawCallback = DT::JS('function() { Shiny.unbindAll(this.api().table().node()); }'),
drawCallback = DT::JS('function() { Shiny.bindAll(this.api().table().node()); } ')
)
)
})
}
# run
shinyApp(ui, server)
My best hypothesis is that Shiny ends up with two uiOutput("ui") bound. This would mean it does not display at the uiOutput("ui") in the redrawn table.
Supporting this hypothesis: if we uncomment uiOutput("ui") from line four, then the text "here" never appears in the data table, just like after redrawing.
Contrary evidence: the whole point of the callbacks is to unregister the previous uiOutput("ui") and to reregister the new uiOutput("ui") which should prevent this cause.
Any idea what is causing this behavior and how to fix it? Even suggestions for how to better debug this behavior would be helpful.
Another possible solution is to bind the UI component to shiny directly, instead of in the callback. But I don't know how to determine the JavaScript for this.
Based on the comment from #Stéphane Laurent, I found this answer by them (search term user:1100107 [dt] unbind).
I inserted this code into the UI
tags$script(HTML(
"Shiny.addCustomMessageHandler('unbindDT', function(id) {
var $table = $('#'+id).find('table');
if($table.length > 0){
Shiny.unbindAll($table.DataTable().table().node());
}
})"
))
and this code at the start of the DT::renderDataTable({:
session$sendCustomMessage("unbindDT", "classify_table")
Note that if working in a module, we need to wrap with ns as so:
session$sendCustomMessage("unbindDT", ns("classify_table"))

How to minimize a sidebarLayout in a Shiny App?

I am building a shiny app and I am using two sidebarLayouts. I’m looking for a way to minimize them. I have try put each sidebarLayout into a box.
Example code:
library(shiny)
library(shinyjs)
ui <- fluidPage(
useShinyjs(),
headerPanel("Here goes the heder"),
box(sidebarLayout(
sidebarPanel(textOutput("someinputs")),
mainPanel(textOutput("someoutputs"))),
width = 12,
title = "BB",
collapsible = T,
collapsed = F
)
)
server <- function(input, output) {
output$someinputs <- renderText({
"Here will go the inputs"
})
output$someoutputs <- renderText({
"Here will go the outputs"
})
}
shinyApp(ui, server)
Output:
When I press the collapsible button the Layout does not collapse. Why is this happening? What should I do? Is there other way to do this?
Because you didn't use shinydashboard. The box comes from shinydashboard package. You need to use shinydashboard::dashboardPage instead of fluidPage.
dashboardPage Loads required javascripts and CSS files to toggle the button.
library(shiny)
ui <- shinydashboard::dashboardPage(
shinydashboard::dashboardHeader(),
shinydashboard::dashboardSidebar(),
shinydashboard::dashboardBody(
headerPanel("Here goes the heder"),
shinydashboard::box(
width = 12,
title = "BB",
collapsible = TRUE,
collapsed = FALSE,
sidebarLayout(
sidebarPanel(textOutput("someinputs")),
mainPanel(textOutput("someoutputs")))
)
)
)
If you don't want to use dashboardPage, you can write your own scripts to control the button:
library(magrittr)
library(shiny)
ui <- fluidPage(
headerPanel("Here goes the heder"),
shinydashboard::box(
width = 12,
title = "BB",
collapsible = TRUE,
collapsed = FALSE,
sidebarLayout(
sidebarPanel(textOutput("someinputs")),
mainPanel(textOutput("someoutputs")))
)%>% {.$attribs[['id']] <- 'example-box'; .},
tags$head(tags$script(
"$(document).ready(function(){
$('#example-box button').attr({
'data-toggle':'collapse',
'data-target':'#example-box .box-body',
'aria-expanded':false
})
})"
))
)
I used a hack to assign an ID to the box %>% {.$attribs[['id']] <- 'example-box'; .}, and use some jquery to control the button. Be sure the ID in the script matches the ID you assign in UI, example-box in this case. In javascript, you add # for ID searching, so #example-box.
I wouldn't recommend you to use the second way. You can see in your UI, it's not really a box. It has no border and the button is not at the right place. If you use dashboardPage, you can see the difference.

Shiny selectInput(multiple = TRUE) problem with mobile devices

I developed a dashboard to monitor covid-19 cases in Brazil using shiny and flexdashboard. It's working fine, but not on mobile devices (at least in some of them). At the sidebar there is a selectinput() with multiple=TRUE, and the problem is that every time the mobile user tries to select a value to update the plots, the screen keyboard is shown and the whole app is realoaded before the selection (for the correct usage the user needs to select the states and click on "Atualizar" button to update).
I tried to solve it by duplicating the siderbar section, and use {.no-mobile} for the first one, and {.mobile) for the second, and using multiple=FALSE in this second selectinput(). Unfortunately it won't work, and both sections were shown overlapping.
I thought about another way (and i don't know how to do it), using something like multiple=ifelse("is mobile test",FALSE,TRUE).
My questions are: Is there a way to test if the browser is mobile? Is there another approach do solve this problem?
Any help will be highly appreciated.
App link (code embed): https://costafilho.shinyapps.io/monitor_covid19/
Github project: https://github.com/sergiocostafh/monitor_covid19
Problematic line:
selectInput("estado",h3("Estados"),choices = est_nome, selected = "Sao Paulo", multiple = TRUE)
Could you try this app on your mobile:
library(shiny)
js <- '
function(){
$(".selectize-input input").attr("readonly", "readonly");
}
'
shinyApp(
ui = fluidPage(
selectizeInput("variable", "Variable:",
c("Cylinders" = "cyl",
"Transmission" = "am",
"Gears" = "gear"),
multiple = TRUE,
options = list(onInitialize = I(js))
),
tableOutput("data")
),
server = function(input, output) {
output$data <- renderTable({
mtcars[, c("mpg", input$variable), drop = FALSE]
}, rownames = TRUE)
}
)
The keyboard should not appear.

Q: How to make shiny app output result in a new page?

I am trying to make an app that allow user to input data and then let shiny server to calculate some results, for example, I could make shiny generate a plot or a data table.
However, due to the space of the UI, I kind of "run out of" space. The input box, and documentation of the app take a whole screen. And when the shiny generate the results it will show at the very bottom of the screen.
Is there a way that I can make shiny pop-up a message box to show the result?
My sudo-code would be:
ui <- fluidPage(
textInput("text", "Name"),
numericInput("age", "Age", 20),
actionButton("demo", "Fill in fields with demo"))
server <- function(input, output, session) {
observeEvent(input$demo, {
****************************
OpenNewPage/MoveScreenDown()
****************************
updateTextInput(session, "text", value = H)
updateNumericInput(session, "age", value = "30")
})}
When clicking the "demo", a message box popup or I can make the screen move to the result part and allow the text to be at the top of the screen.
There are options to show your results in a separated window. But maybe will be easier to have everything on the same window.
You can use the shinyBS library to create a modal window to show the plot. Another option is to use JavaScript to move the scroll to the bottom of the page. I put the two options in the following example, so you can see which one is better for you.
library(shiny)
library(shinyBS)
runApp(list(
ui = shinyUI(fluidPage(
textInput("text", "Name"),
numericInput("age", "Age", 20),
# option 1, using ShinyBS with a modal window
actionButton("demo", "Using a modal"),
# modal window to show the plot
bsModal("largeModalID","Results", "demo", size = "large", plotOutput('plot')),
# Option 2, action button with a JavaScript function to move the scroll to the bottom
# after drawing the plot.
actionButton("demoJS", "Using JS",
# there is a delay to allow the renderPlot to draw the plot and you should
# change it according to the processes performed
onclick = "setTimeout( function() {
$('html, body').scrollTop( $(document).height() );},
300)"),
# to plot the results after click on "Using JS"
uiOutput("plotUI")
)
),
server = shinyServer(function(input, output, session) {
output$plot <- renderPlot({
# simple plot to show
plot(sin, -pi, 2*pi)
})
output$plotUI <- renderUI({
# this UI will show a plot only if "Using JS" is clicked
if (input$demoJS > 0)
# the margin-top attribute is just to put the plot lower in the page
div(style = "margin-top:800px", plotOutput('plot2'))
})
output$plot2 <- renderPlot({
# another simple plot,
plot(sin, -pi, 2*pi)
})
})
))
If you think that the JavaScript option works better for you, you could consider start using the shinyjs library, it includes very useful functions and you can easily add your own JavaScript code to your Shiny Apps.

How to programmatically collapse a box in shiny dashboard

I'm trying to collapse a box programmatically when an input changes. It seems that I only need to add the class "collapsed-box" to the box, I tried to use the shinyjs function addClass, but I don't know how to do that becuase a box doesn't have an id. Here as simple basic code that can be used to test possible solutions:
library(shinydashboard)
ui <- dashboardPage(
dashboardHeader(),
dashboardSidebar(),
dashboardBody(
box(collapsible = TRUE,p("Test")),
actionButton("bt1", "Collapse")
)
)
server <- function(input, output) {
observeEvent(input$bt1, {
# collapse the box
})
}
shinyApp(ui, server)
I've never tried using boxes before so keep in mind that my answer might be very narrow minded. But I took a quick look and it looks like simply setting the "collapsed-box" class on the box does not actually make the box collapse. So instead my next thought was to actually click the collapse button programatically.
As you said, there isn't an identifier associated with the box, so my solution was to add an id argument to box. I initially expected that to be the id of the box, but instead it looks like that id is given to an element inside the box. No problem - it just means that in order to select the collapse button, we need to take the id, look up the DOM tree to find the box element, and then look back down the DOM tree to find the button.
I hope everything I said makes sense. Even if it doesn't, this code should still work and will hopefully make things a little more clear :)
library(shiny)
library(shinydashboard)
library(shinyjs)
jscode <- "
shinyjs.collapse = function(boxid) {
$('#' + boxid).closest('.box').find('[data-widget=collapse]').click();
}
"
ui <- dashboardPage(
dashboardHeader(),
dashboardSidebar(),
dashboardBody(
useShinyjs(),
extendShinyjs(text = jscode, functions = "collapse"),
actionButton("bt1", "Collapse box1"),
actionButton("bt2", "Collapse box2"),
br(), br(),
box(id = "box1", collapsible = TRUE, p("Box 1")),
box(id = "box2", collapsible = TRUE, p("Box 2"))
)
)
server <- function(input, output) {
observeEvent(input$bt1, {
js$collapse("box1")
})
observeEvent(input$bt2, {
js$collapse("box2")
})
}
shinyApp(ui, server)
