I have a simple shiny app where the user should input comma-separated values into a text input, chose the output and click on a button to convert to an output.
I have followed the advice in Update content on server only after I click action button in Shiny to change the output only when clicking, and it works.
However, only when starting/ opening the app the first time, the field is empty, yet the output seems to try to evaluate the input field.
It is more of a cosmetic problem, because once the user filled something in, this does not recur, but I wonder how I could avoid this...
My app:
library(shiny)
ui <- fluidPage(
textInput("from", "csv", value = NULL),
actionButton("run", "Run"),
textOutput("to")
)
server <- function(input, output, session) {
list1 <- reactive({
input$run
x <- isolate(paste(read.table(text = input$from, sep = ",")))
x
})
output$to <- renderText({
list1()
})
}
shinyApp(ui = ui, server = server)
The not-desired output - I would like to get rid of the errors.
