[Bug] Cannot access input variable for shinyalert modal created in callbackR #46
Description
I have a simple user interface that asks two questions and takes two user defined values as responces. I have implmented this using the latest version of shinyalert using the new features that allow input controls to be defined in the modals. An example of the process is shown here:
library(shiny)
library(shinyalert)
ui <- fluidPage(
useShinyalert(),
tags$h2("Demo shinyalert"),
tags$br(),
fluidRow(
column(
width = 6,
actionButton("shinyalert_popup",
"Alert Popup")
)
),
fluidRow(
verbatimTextOutput(outputId = "return_value_1"),
verbatimTextOutput(outputId = "return_value_2")
)
)
server <- function(input, output, session) {
observeEvent(input$shinyalert_popup, {
shinyalert(
title = "Input Number 1",
text = tagList(
"Enter a number",
textInput(inputId = "shinyalert_value_1",
label = "")
),
html = TRUE,
inputId = "shinyalert_modal",
showConfirmButton = TRUE,
confirmButtonText = "OK",
callbackR = function() {
shinyalert(
title = "Input Number 2",
text = tagList(
"Enter another number",
textInput(inputId = "shinyalert_value_2",
label = "")
),
html = TRUE,
inputId = "shinyalert_callback",
showConfirmButton = TRUE,
confirmButtonText = "OK"
)
}
)
})
output$return_value_1 <- renderPrint(input$shinyalert_value_1)
output$return_value_2 <- renderPrint(input$shinyalert_value_2)
}
shinyApp(ui = ui, server = server)
The responce shows that the first input, from the id shinyalert_value_1 is captured and updates in the ui. The second input, from shinyalert_value_2, which is nested in the callbackR parameter shows a NULL when values are typed and after the modal has been closed. This indicates that the input$shinyalert_value_2 is not found in this configuration.
