passing output variables to UI

Hello!

I would like to read in an excel file, get the variable names (in the server function), and pass them to a selectInput to use for x and y variable selection. However, I'm having trouble with the output variable itself. Here is the code:

xa.df <- data.frame(x=1:10,y1=rnorm(10),y2=rexp(10))
library(openxlsx)
write.excel(xa.df,file="test1a.xlsx")


library(shiny)
library(readxl)
library(shinyjs)
library(ggplot2)

runApp(
    list(
        ui = fluidPage(
	useShinyjs(),
	div(
	   id="form",
	
            titlePanel("Use readxl"),
            sidebarLayout(
                sidebarPanel(
                    fileInput('file1', 'Choose xlsx file',
                              accept = c(".xlsx")
                              ),
		     conditionalPanel(
		     condition="output.names1",
		     print("stuff"),
		     selectInput("sel1","x variable",choices=output.names1)
			),
			
      actionButton("resetAll", "Draw the plot"))
                    ),

                mainPanel(

		     verbatimTextOutput("contents"))


            ),
        server = function(input, output,session){

       text_reactive <- eventReactive(input$resetAll, {
       print("in event")
       print(str(dist()))
       print(names(dist()))
       print(input$x1)
       myx1 <- gsub(" ","",input$x1)
       myy1 <- gsub(" ","",input$y1)
       print(which(myx1==names(dist())))
       x4 <- which(myx1==names(dist()))
       x5 <- which(myy1==names(dist()))
       x6 <- data.frame(x=dist()[[x4]],y=dist()[[x5]],z=1:10)
       print(str(x6))
       x6
}
)
	       dist <- reactive({

                inFile <- input$file1

                if(is.null(inFile))
                    return(NULL)
                file.rename(inFile$datapath,
                          paste(inFile$datapath, ".xlsx", sep=""))
                read_excel(paste(inFile$datapath, ".xlsx", sep=""), 1)
                x3 <- as.data.frame(read_excel(paste(inFile$datapath, ".xlsx", sep=""), 1))
		return(x3)
		 })
		 
		 output$contents <- renderText({
		 names(dist())
		 		 })


		 output$names1 <- reactive({
		 names(dist())
		 })
		 outputOptions(output,'names1',suspendWhenHidden=FALSE)
		 

		 

})
)

)

I have tried all kinds of variations on output.names1, but no luck.

Any suggestions much appreciated.
Thanks,
Erin
