Examples

ui <- shiny::fluidPage(
  draggable_buckets("id", "Choices #1", c("a", "b"), c("bucket1", "bucket2")),
  draggable_buckets("id2", "Choices #2", letters, c("vowels", "consonants")),
  shiny::verbatimTextOutput("out"),
  shiny::verbatimTextOutput("out2")
)
server <- function(input, output) {
  iv <- shinyvalidate::InputValidator$new()
  iv$add_rule(
    "id",
    function(data) if (length(data[["bucket1"]]) == 0) "There should be stuff in bucket 1"
  )
  iv$enable()

  shiny::observeEvent(list(input$id, input$id2), {
    print(isolate(input$id))
    print(isolate(input$id2))
  })
  output$out <- shiny::renderPrint({
    iv$is_valid()
    input$id
  })
  output$out2 <- shiny::renderPrint(input$id2)
}
if (interactive()) shiny::shinyApp(ui, server)

# With default elements in the bucket
ui <- shiny::fluidPage(
  draggable_buckets("id", "Choices #1", c("a", "b"), list(bucket1 = character(), bucket2 = c("c"))),
  shiny::verbatimTextOutput("out")
)
server <- function(input, output) {
  shiny::observeEvent(input$id, {
    print(shiny::isolate(input$id))
  })
  output$out <- shiny::renderPrint(input$id)
}
if (interactive()) shiny::shinyApp(ui, server)
