Conditional VerbatimTextOutput

shiny
1

I want to have a conditional verbatimTextOutput but so far I just receive an error. In this reproducible example I want the numbers that belong to region or subregion to be listed in the panel. I achieve what I want if I just do it separately but I do not want both displayed simultaneously. If anyone can help, thanks!

    if(nrow(list1()) >0 && nrow(list2()) == 0){
    cat(list1(), sep = "\n")
    }else if(nrow(list2())> 0){
      cat(list2(), sep = "\n")
    }
  })
}
shinyApp(ui,server)

EDIT:

I realized in this case that I should not have used nrow but I should have used length instead because I was working with reactive vectors not tables. Minor mistake I just noticed. Therefore I should have the following:

  output$text <- renderPrint({
    if(length(list1()) >0 && length(list2()) == 0){
    cat(list1(), sep = "\n")
    }else if(length(list2())> 0){
      cat(list2(), sep = "\n")
    }
  })

Hopefully this helps anyone has similar issues with their Shiny code. Thanks!

Is there a reason you're trying to render a text object and not a table?

I'm new to Shiny so I was not aware it could be output as a table. I tried to render as a datatable but it had the data table format but I wanted cleaner output that just lists the items.
Does renderTable work in that way for this example?

Your sample_df table is a data frame and it appears you want to

  1. Apply some dynamic filtering and
  2. Visualize the subset information

Data table will render a table object similar to what you see in Excel. This is the standard convention of viewing tabular data. It can even be directly selected, copied, and pasted into Excel.

Okay, I edited my code for a table output but I still receive an error for rendering the table through the "if" statements...

Okay so I figured out that my problem was that my reactive list1 and list2 were vectors and not data tables. Thus I converted the output to a table and it works perfectly now!

  list1 <- reactive({
    v <- sample_df %>% filter(region == input$region) %>% filter(numbers != "00000")
    v$numbers %>% unique() %>% as.tibble()
  })

  list2 <- reactive({
    v <- sample_df %>% filter(subregion == input$subregion) %>% filter(numbers != "00000")
    v$numbers %>% unique() %>% as.tibble()

  })
