Is there a way to hide shinyWidgets dropdown with shinyjs? Since dropdown has an id argument, i thought it could be hidden/shown like any other input. But somehow its not working. Below you find a minimal Reprex:
library(shiny)
# Define UI for application that draws a histogram
ui <- fluidPage(
shinyjs::useShinyjs(),# this enables shinyjs functionality
# Application title
titlePanel("Old Faithful Geyser Data"),
# Sidebar with a slider input for number of bins
sidebarLayout(
sidebarPanel(
shinyjs::hidden(
shinyWidgets::dropdown(inputId = "dropdown",
sliderInput("bins",
"Number of bins:",
min = 1,
max = 50,
value = 30)
)
)
),
# Show a plot of the generated distribution
mainPanel(
actionButton("showdd", "show dropdown"),
plotOutput("distPlot")
)
)
)
# Define server logic required to draw a histogram
server <- function(input, output) {
observeEvent(input$showdd,{
print("test")
shinyjs::show(id = "dropdown")
shinyjs::show(id = "bins")
} )
output$distPlot <- renderPlot({
# generate bins based on input$bins from ui.R
x <- faithful[, 2]
bins <- seq(min(x), max(x), length.out = input$bins + 1)
# draw the histogram with the specified number of bins
hist(x, breaks = bins, col = 'darkgray', border = 'white',
xlab = 'Waiting time to next eruption (in mins)',
main = 'Histogram of waiting times')
})
}
# Run the application
shinyApp(ui = ui, server = server)
The id
gets passed to the button element, but you would like to show or hide the outer div
. This internally gets an "sw-drop-"
prepended on its id
. Hence, you can use shinyjs::show(id = "sw-drop-dropdown")
:
library(shiny)
# Define UI for application that draws a histogram
ui <- fluidPage(
shinyjs::useShinyjs(),# this enables shinyjs functionality
# Application title
titlePanel("Old Faithful Geyser Data"),
# Sidebar with a slider input for number of bins
sidebarLayout(
sidebarPanel(
shinyjs::hidden(
shinyWidgets::dropdown(inputId = "dropdown",
sliderInput("bins",
"Number of bins:",
min = 1,
max = 50,
value = 30)
)
)
),
# Show a plot of the generated distribution
mainPanel(
actionButton("showdd", "show dropdown"),
plotOutput("distPlot")
)
)
)
# Define server logic required to draw a histogram
server <- function(input, output) {
observeEvent(input$showdd,{
shinyjs::show(id = "sw-drop-dropdown")
shinyjs::show(id = "bins")
} )
output$distPlot <- renderPlot({
# generate bins based on input$bins from ui.R
x <- faithful[, 2]
bins <- seq(min(x), max(x), length.out = input$bins + 1)
# draw the histogram with the specified number of bins
hist(x, breaks = bins, col = 'darkgray', border = 'white',
xlab = 'Waiting time to next eruption (in mins)',
main = 'Histogram of waiting times')
})
}
# Run the application
shinyApp(ui = ui, server = server)
