I have a question about updating a text output in a shiny app.
In an observer, I make several computations, and, between each of them, I want to show informations in a text output.
I tried several things, but the only thing it is showing is the last information :
library(shiny)
ui <- fluidPage(
headerPanel("Hello !"),
mainPanel(
actionButton("bouton", "Clic !"),
textOutput("texte")
)
)
server <- function(input,output, session){
observeEvent(input$bouton, {
output$texte = renderText("Initialization...")
Sys.sleep(1)
output$texte = renderText("Almost ready...")
Sys.sleep(3)
output$texte = renderText("Ok !")
})
}
runApp(list(ui=ui,server=server), launch.browser = TRUE)
Or :
library(shiny)
ui <- fluidPage(
headerPanel("Hello !"),
mainPanel(
actionButton("bouton", "Clic !"),
textOutput("texte")
)
)
server <- function(input,output, session){
rv = reactiveValues()
rv$mess = ""
observeEvent(input$bouton, {
rv$mess = "Initialization..."
Sys.sleep(1)
rv$mess = "Almost ready..."
Sys.sleep(3)
rv$mess = "Ok !"
})
observe({
output$texte <<- renderText(rv$mess)
})
}
runApp(list(ui=ui,server=server))
Edit : in these two examples, it shows nothing until the last message "OK !"
Where am I wrong ?
Thanks for your help !
Thanks to Eugene, this is my working piece of code (server only) :
server <- function(input,output, session){
rv = reactiveValues()
rv$mess = ""
observeEvent(input$bouton, {
withProgress({
setProgress(message = "Initialization...")
Sys.sleep(1)
setProgress(message = "Almost ready...")
Sys.sleep(3)
setProgress(message = "Ok !")
Sys.sleep(2)
})
})
}
You might consider achieving this with shiny's progress indicators by:
withProgress
, and setProgress( message = "some message" )
where you use rv$mess
and output$texte
However, the progress indicator will show up in the top-right (or elsewhere if you modify the css) and not in your output box.
