Reactive: assign a manipulated dataframe to a reactive object

shiny
1

Hello, I think it is a basic issue on reactivity: I want to manipulate data inside reactive in order to obtain a cleaned dataset usable inside the renderDataTable expression avoiding the manipulation each time I change the inputSlider value.
The problem is in the reactive block (lines 93-95). Thank you in advance.

# Module UI function
csvFileInput <- function(id, label = "CSV file") {
    # Create a namespace function using the provided id
    ns <- NS(id)
    
    tagList(
        fileInput(ns("file"), label),
        #checkboxInput(ns("heading"), "Has heading"),
        selectInput(ns("separator"), "Separator", c(';', ','))
    )
}



# Module server function
csvFile <- function(input, output, session, stringsAsFactors) {
    # The selected file, if any
    userFile <- reactive({
        # If no file is selected, don't do anything
        validate(need(input$file, message = FALSE))
        input$file
    })
    
    # The user's data, parsed into a data frame
    dataframe <- reactive({
        read.csv(userFile()$datapath,
                 #header = input$heading,
                 stringsAsFactors = stringsAsFactors,
                 sep = input$separator)
        
    })
    
    
    # We can run observers in here if we want to
    observe({
        msg <- sprintf("File %s was uploaded\nStandardizing Enduser Names...", userFile()$name)
        cat(msg, "\n")
    })
    
    
    # Return the reactive that yields the data frame
    return(dataframe)
}

Hi @nmanca1992

I don't see why it's not working. Don't forget to return the dataframe (df) at the end of the reactive.

mydf <- reactive({
  df <- df()
		
  df$Document.Date <- as.Date(df$Document.Date)
  df$Enduser.Name <- tolower(df$Enduser.Name)
  df$Enduser.Name <- as.factor(gsub('[.]', '', df$Enduser.Name))

  colnames(df) <- c('cust', 'date', 'sales')
  df
})

Thank you Barret.
I exactly forgot to return the object.
