Math function as input variable (update)

[Abderrahim]

Hello,
Using the example in Chapter 11 Bookmarking | Mastering Shiny (mastering-shiny.org)

ui <- fluidPage(
sidebarLayout(
sidebarPanel(
sliderInput("omega", "omega", value = 1, min = -2, max = 2, step = 0.01),
sliderInput("delta", "delta", value = 1, min = 0, max = 2, step = 0.01),
sliderInput("damping", "damping", value = 1, min = 0.9, max = 1, step = 0.001),
numericInput("length", "length", value = 100)
),
mainPanel(
plotOutput("fig")
)
)
)
server <- function(input, output, session) {
t <- reactive(seq(0, input$length, length.out = input$length * 100))
x <- reactive(sin(input$omega * t() + input$delta) * input$damping ^ t())
y <- reactive(sin(t()) * input$damping ^ t())

output$fig <- renderPlot({
plot(x(), y(), axes = FALSE, xlab = "", ylab = "", type = "l", lwd = 2)
}, res = 96)
}
I want the user to choice the function(sin in the above code) himself as dynamical input without changing the code in the server function.
Thank you in advance

  }, res = 96)

Thank you and it works!!.
Is it possible that the user himself writes the function and enters it into an input field (eg. TextInput, ...) ?

Thanks in advance for your help !
