i'm facing an issue that probably is easy too solve but is bugging me.
I have a global.R script where I use JS to compute the screen height
jscode_for_screen_Height <- '$(document).on("shiny:connected", function(e) {
var jsHeight = screen.height;
Shiny.onInputChange("GetScreenHeight",jsHeight); });'
This variable is used in several parts in my server.R and it works properly. Eg
output$viewDataCTgov <- DT::renderDataTable({
DT::datatable(data_to_render_CTgov(),
options = list(scrollX = TRUE,scrollY = paste(input$GetScreenHeight,"px",sep=""),
scrollCollapse=TRUE,pageLength = 100,searchHighlight = TRUE), escape = FALSE)
})
Now I'm creating a leaflet map and in ui.R I have
leafletOutput("mymap", height = XXX )
leafletoutput accepts a string as height parameter (eg "400")
Here the problems:
1) I can't use input$GetScreenHeight because i'm on the ui.R and input is not in the scope of the script.
2) I can't figure out how to pass a plain string to ui.R from the server.R
What I tried so far is to use in server.R
output$ScreenHeightvalue <- paste0(input$GetScreenHeight)
And in ui.R
leafletOutput("mymap", height =(textOutput("ScreenHeightvalue")))
but doesn't work due to the fact that textOutput("ScreenHeightvalue") is not a plain string.
How can I pass paste0(input$GetScreenHeight) from the server.R to the ui.R as plain string?
I don't know how to pass a plain string from server to ui, but you can define your lealfetOutput in the server by using a renderUI
library(shiny)
library(leaflet)
ui <- fluidPage(
uiOutput("test")
)
server <- function(input, output) {
output$myMap <- renderLeaflet({
leaflet() %>%
addTiles() %>%
setView(-93.65, 42.0285, zoom = 17)
})
output$test <- renderUI({
tagList(
leafletOutput("myMap", height = paste0(input$GetScreenHeight))
)
})
}
shinyApp(ui, server)
