Trying to make a slider reactive


I'm trying to implement shiny and ggvis for the first time.

I want to add a simple slider to filter for mpg in the mtcars dataset.

server.R

library(shiny)
library(ggvis)
library(dplyr)

data("mtcars")


shinyServer(function(input, output){

filtercar <- reactive({

mpgs <- input$mpg

m <- mtcars %>%
  filter(
  mpg >= mpgs
  )
m <- as.data.frame(m)
})


mtcars %>%
ggvis(~mpg, ~disp, fill := "red") %>%
layer_points() %>%
bind_shiny("p", "p_ui")
})

ui.R

library(ggvis)
library(shiny)

shinyUI(bootstrapPage(
wellPanel(ggvisOutput("p"),
        uiOutput("p_ui"),
        HTML("Comparing cars by disp and mpg")),
wellPanel(HTML("CARS")),
wellPanel(
h4("Filter"),
sliderInput("mpg","miles per gallon", value = 20, min = 0, max = 100, step = 
1)
 )
))

Solution

  • Try this:

    ui.R:

    library(ggvis)
    library(shiny)
    
    shinyUI(bootstrapPage(
      wellPanel(
        uiOutput("p_ui"),
        ggvisOutput("p"),
        HTML("Comparing cars by disp and mpg")
      )))
    

    server.R:

    library(shiny)
    library(ggvis)
    library(dplyr)
    
    shinyServer(function(input, output) {
      mtcars %>%
        ggvis(~mpg, ~disp) %>%
        filter(mpg > eval(input_slider(10, 35, 10))) %>%  # this is the trick
        layer_points() %>%
        scale_numeric("x", domain = c(10, 35)) %>%  # keep axis stable
        scale_numeric("y", domain = c(0, 500)) %>%  # same
        bind_shiny("p", "p_ui") 
    })
    

    So the trick is to use the filter function from dplyr together with eval and the input_slider function from ggvis.
