We use "colourInput" from the package "colourpicker" in a shiny app for picking various colours.
When the colourInput is used by itself (# example 1 below), the widget pops up in the app and everything works fine (image 1 in attached figure)
It still works when we use splitLayout with the homemade "split_color_input" function (# example 2 below). However, the widget is now "hidden" inside a scroll-bar window (image 2 in attached figure). How can we bring it to the front like in example 1?
Figure:
# example 1
ui <- fluidPage(
colourpicker::colourInput(inputId = "id1",
label = "label1",
value = "hotpink",
allowTransparent = TRUE,
returnName = TRUE,
closeOnClick = TRUE)
)
server <- function(input, output) {
}
shinyApp(ui = ui, server = server)
# example 2
split_color_input = function(n, id, labs, vals, allowTransparent){
if (n%%2==1){
colourpicker::colourInput(
inputId = paste0(id, '.', 1+(n-1)/2),
label=labs[1+(n-1)/2],
value=vals[1+(n-1)/2],
allowTransparent = allowTransparent,
returnName = TRUE,
closeOnClick = TRUE)
}else{
p("")
}
}
id = "id2"
labs = c("label2.1", "label2.2")
vals = c("steelblue3", "hotpink")
cellwidths = c("45%", "10%", "45%")
ui <- fluidPage(
do.call(what=splitLayout, args = c(lapply(1:length(cellwidths), split_color_input, id, labs, vals, allowTransparent=TRUE),
list(cellWidths=as.list(cellwidths)),
list(width=list('500px'))) )
)
server <- function(input, output) {
}
shinyApp(ui = ui, server = server)
a quick way to fix is to overwrite shiny's style .shiny-split-layout>div {overflow: visible}
.
# example 2
split_color_input = function(n, id, labs, vals, allowTransparent){
if (n%%2==1){
colourpicker::colourInput(
inputId = paste0(id, '.', 1+(n-1)/2),
label=labs[1+(n-1)/2],
value=vals[1+(n-1)/2],
allowTransparent = allowTransparent,
returnName = TRUE,
closeOnClick = TRUE)
}else{
p("")
}
}
id = "id2"
labs = c("label2.1", "label2.2")
vals = c("steelblue3", "hotpink")
cellwidths = c("45%", "10%", "45%")
ui <- fluidPage(
do.call(what=splitLayout, args = c(lapply(1:length(cellwidths), split_color_input, id, labs, vals, allowTransparent=TRUE),
list(cellWidths=as.list(cellwidths)),
list(width=list('500px')))
),
tags$style(HTML(".shiny-split-layout>div {overflow: visible}"))
)
server <- function(input, output) {}
shinyApp(ui = ui, server = server)
