Suppose we have a group of 8 checkboxes (8 letters) and an action button which prints the label of all the selected checkboxes. What I want to do, enable and disable the state of the action button based on a condition. The condition is that if the number of selected checkboxes are between 2 and 5, then the button should be enabled, else disabled. For changing the state of the button I want to use the functions enable
, disable
or toggleState
functions from the shinyjs
package. And when the button is enabled, I will be able to trigger an event to print the numbers of selected items. Here is what I tried until now:
---
title: "Disable Button"
runtime: shiny
output: html_document
---
```{r setup, include=FALSE}
knitr::opts_chunk$set(echo = TRUE)
library(shinyjs)
library(shiny)
```
```{r, echo=FALSE}
checkboxGroupInput("param_group", label = h3("Letters"),
choices = LETTERS[1:8])
actionButton('action', "Print")
result<-reactive({
length(input$param_group)
})
observe({
if(result()>1 & result()<=5)
enable("action")
else
disable("action")
})
txt<-eventReactive(input$action,{
cat("Number of letters selected: ",length(input$param_group))
})
renderPrint({
txt()
})
```
Took me awhile to find it, but you have to enable shinyjs
to use R-markdown explicitly, it needs to setup its javascript differently in this case.
You do this by calling: useShinyjs(rmd=T)
in the chunk where you are using it.
