I'm making an app in which the user can create as many tables as he/she wants and display the code necessary to remake each individual table using shinymeta
. I can generate the code for each of these tables but I have a problem when I want to create a complete modal that shows every code for each table.
To be clearer, here's a reproducible example:
library(shiny)
library(shinymeta)
module_ui <- function(id){
ns <- NS(id)
tagList(
fluidRow(
actionButton(ns("show_table"), "Show table"),
actionButton(ns("show_code"), "Show code"),
tableOutput(ns("table"))
)
)
}
module_server <- function(input, output, session){
data <- metaReactive2({
req(input$show_table)
isolate(metaExpr({
mtcars
}))
})
output$table <- renderTable({
data()
})
observeEvent(input$show_code, {
showModal(modalDialog(
renderPrint({
expandChain(data())
})
))
})
}
ui <- fluidPage(
actionButton("launch", "Launch"),
actionButton("show_full_code", "Show the full code (at least 2 'launch' before)")
)
server <- function(input, output, session) {
count <- reactiveValues(value = 0)
observeEvent(input$launch, {
count$value <- count$value + 1
insertUI(selector = "#show_full_code",
where = "afterEnd",
ui = module_ui(paste0("x", count$value)))
callModule(module_server, paste0("x", count$value))
})
#### "Merge" the single code modals in one big
observeEvent(input$show_full_code, {
showModal(modalDialog(
renderPrint({
expandChain(x1_data, x2_data)
})
))
})
}
shinyApp(ui, server)
When you click on "Launch", two buttons are generated and you can display a table ("Show table") and the code to remake this table ("Show code"). You can click on "Launch" indefinitely and the table will be named x1_data
, x2_data
, etc.
However, when I try to generate the code that unites every individual code (by clicking on "Show the full code"), x1_data
is not found. Using x1_data()
does not work either. I'm not a fan of asking two questions in one post but I will do this now:
- How can I access the reactive elements created inside modules?
- How can I "merge" every individual code in a big one?
