Prereq: How to hide/show something in Shiny? How to disable an input? How do I reset an input?.I’ve built many Shiny apps over these 2 years, both for myself and as a contractor for other people/companies, and throughout this time I developed a handy list of Shiny design patterns and tricks, some of which I present here.Īpart from providing these tips for free, I am also a Shiny consultant - if you need help with anything Shiny or R, feel free to contact me. Show a function’s messages and warnings to the user ( code).Show user a generic error message when a Shiny error occurs in an output ( code).Use a variable from the server in a UI conditionalPanel() ( code).Split app code across multiple files (when codebase is large) ( code).Pre-populate Shiny inputs when an app loads based on URL parameters ( code).Adding text (or inputs) to the navigation bar in a navbarPage ( code).Getting the value of an object in a running Shiny app without access to a debugger ( code).Select input with groupings of options ( code).Select input with more breathing room ( code).Close the window (and stop the app) with a button click ( code).Automatically stop a Shiny app when closing the browser tab ( code).Hide/show shinydashboard sidebar programmatically ( code).Show a spinning “loading” animation while a plot is recalculating ( code). Fix filenames of files uploaded via fileInput() ( code).Shiny app with sequence of pages ( code).The one restriction is that you cant have any spaces or maths characters in them.

Toggle a UI element (alternate between show/hide) with a button ( code). You cant have a variable called 'cheese on toast' for instance, or a variable called five+five.Send a message from R to JavaScript ( code).
