Wrapper for pickerInput

Wrapper for shinyWidgets::pickerInput() with additional features. When fixed = TRUE or when the number of choices is less or equal to 1 (see fixed_on_single), the pickerInput widget is hidden and non-interactive widget will be displayed instead. Toggle of HTML elements is just the visual effect to avoid displaying pickerInput widget when there is only one choice.

Usage

optionalSelectInput(
  inputId,
  label = NULL,
  choices = NULL,
  selected = NULL,
  multiple = FALSE,
  sep = NULL,
  options = list(),
  label_help = NULL,
  fixed = FALSE,
  fixed_on_single = FALSE,
  width = NULL
)

updateOptionalSelectInput(
  session,
  inputId,
  label = NULL,
  selected = NULL,
  choices = NULL
)

Arguments

inputId

The input slot that will be used to access the value.

label

Display label for the control, or NULL for no label.

choices

List of values to select from. If elements of the list are named then that name rather than the value is displayed to the user.

selected

The initially selected value (or multiple values if multiple = TRUE). If not specified then defaults to the first value for single-select lists and no values for multiple select lists.

multiple

Is selection of multiple items allowed?

sep

(character(1))
A separator string to split the choices or selected inputs into the values of the different columns.

options

List of options, see pickerOptions for all available options. To limit the number of selection possible, see example below.

label_help

(shiny.tag) optional,
e.g. an object returned by shiny::helpText().

fixed

(logical(1)) optional,
whether to block user to select choices.

fixed_on_single

(logical(1)) optional,
whether to block user to select a choice when there is only one or less choice. When FALSE, user is still able to select or deselect the choice.

width

(character(1))
The width of the input passed to pickerInput e.g. 'auto', 'fit', '100px' or '75%'

session

(shiny.session)

Value

(shiny.tag) HTML tag with pickerInput widget and non-interactive element listing selected values.
