shinyApp(ui = ui, server = server)


...

How would you wish your application to behave under such a circumstance ?

To just show the x and y axis.

great, so can you write for yourself (even outside of shiny) a plot_ly() type function
that draws such an empty chart ?
If so you add a check in your renderplot function to either plot that, or the plot that you've been plotting so far :slight_smile:

Hi @Martin123. You can check if your GlobalLifeExpG result's nrow is greater than zero. If not, plot a empty Plotly with defined range.

server <- function(input, output){
  
  GlobalLifeExpG <- reactive({
    GlobalLifeExp(input$Country)
  })
  
  observe({
    output$HLE <- renderPlotly(plot_ly(GlobalLifeExpG(),
                                       x = ~Year, y = ~Life_Expectancy) %>%
                                 layout(xaxis = list(range = range(Global$Year)),
                                        yaxis = list(range = range(Global$Life_Expectancy, na.rm = TRUE))))
    
    req(nrow(GlobalLifeExpG()) > 0)
    
    output$HLE <- renderPlotly({
      
      accumulate_by <- function(dat, var) {
        var <- lazyeval::f_eval(var, dat)
        lvls <- plotly:::getLevels(var)
        dats <- lapply(seq_along(lvls), function(x) {
          cbind(dat[var %in% lvls[seq(1, x)], ], frame = lvls[[x]])
        })
        dplyr::bind_rows(dats)
      }
      
      
      GlobalLifeExpG() %>%
        
        accumulate_by(~Year) %>%
        
        plot_ly(x = ~Year, y = ~Life_Expectancy,
                split = ~country,
                frame = ~frame,
                type = "scatter",
                mode = "lines",
                hoverinfo = "text",
                text = ~paste("Year:", Year, "<br>Life Expectancy:", Life_Expectancy)) %>%
        
        
        
        animation_opts(
          frame = 100,
          transition = 0,
          redraw = FALSE
          
        ) %>%
        
        
        animation_slider(
          hide = T
        )
      
    })
  })
  

  
  
  addClass(selector = "body", class = "sidebar-collapse") 
  
}

Found easier solution which suits my needs. I hide the error message:

tags$style(type="text/css",

".shiny-output-error { visibility: hidden; }",

".shiny-output-error:before { visibility: hidden; }"

)

there is also validate(need()) structure which is often useful to remember.
That's the thing, there are many possibilities, it helps to have a clear view of the most preferred outcome.
Happy for you that you resolved your issue :slight_smile:

Hi Raytong, thank you for your solution. Kind regards
