recharts4r

echarts4rBox function does not seem to recognize the "x" variable


I tried this:

library(shiny)
library(echarts4r)

ui <- fluidPage(
  
  fluidRow(
    column(3, echarts4rBoxOutput("box1"))
  )
  
)

server <- function(input, output, session) {
  
  output$box1 <- renderEcharts4rBox({
    echarts4rBox(cars, speed, dist, "Cake", type = "bar")
  })
  
}

shinyApp(ui, server) 

But:

Error: object 'speed' not found

I'm using the latest version of echarts4r, but not working.


Solution

  • Working code by providing a string x and y columns to the echarts4rBox function call:

    library(shiny)
    library(echarts4r)
    
    ui <- fluidPage(
        
        fluidRow(
            column(3, echarts4rBoxOutput("box1"))
        )
        
    )
    
    server <- function(input, output, session) {
        
        output$box1 <- renderEcharts4rBox({
            echarts4rBox(cars, "speed", "dist", "Cake", type = "bar")
        })
        
    }
    
    shinyApp(ui, server) 
    

    The problem comes from invalid transfer and conversion of inputs to the internal .build_data2 function. The echarts4rBox function was designed to accept strings or quotes for x and y inputs, but it does not work with quotes.

    > echarts4rBox
    function(
      data,
      x,
      y,
      text = "",
      subtext = "",
      type = c("bar", "line", "scatter", "area", "step"),
      ...,
      color = "#ffffff",
      text_color = "#ffffff",
      background_color = "#293c55",
      step = c("start", "middle", "end"),
      title_args = list(),
      tooltip = list(trigger = "axis")
    ) {
    
      # for area, keep to use in series opts
      original_type <- type
    
      # inputs
      type <- match.arg(type)
      step <- match.arg(step)
    
      # override area
      if (type %in% c("area", "step")) type <- "line"
    
      # build expected data format
      data <- .build_data2(data, {{ x }}, {{ y }})
      ...
