闪亮:在downloadHandler中使用validate()

我有一个Shiny应用程序,单击按钮后即可打印报告。通过downloadHandler()函数创建报告。

在导出报告之前,我希望有一个必填字段;合适的Shiny函数是validate()(https://shiny.rstudio.com/articles/validation.html)。

但是,根据文档,validate()函数只能在react()或render()函数中使用:

To use this validation test in your app, place it at the start of any reactive or render* expression that calls input$data. 

我在我的downloadHandler函数中找不到可以放置此函数的地方。有人知道这怎么可能吗?

这是相关的代码部分;我希望字段“ company_name”对于创建报告是必填的。

ui <- fluidPage(

  sidebarLayout(
    position = "left",

    sidebarPanel(

      textInput(
        inputId = "company_name",
        label = "Company name", 
        value = ""
      ),
    )
  )
)

server <- function(input, output) {
  output$report <- downloadHandler(
    filename = "report.pdf",
    content = function(file) {
      # Copy the report file to a temporary directory before processing it, in
      # case we don't have write permissions to the current working dir (which
      # can happen when deployed).
      tempReport <- file.path(tempdir(), "report.Rmd")
      file.copy("report.Rmd", tempReport, overwrite = TRUE)
      dir.create(file.path(tempdir(),"www"))
      file.copy("www", file.path(tempdir()), recursive=TRUE)      

      # Set up parameters to pass to Rmd document
      params <- list(company_name = input$company_name)

      # Knit the document, passing in the `params` list, and eval it in a
      # child of the global environment (this isolates the code in the document
      # from the code in this app).

      rmarkdown::render(tempReport, output_file = file,
                        params = params,
                        envir = new.env(parent = globalenv())
      )
    }
  )
}

问题在于downloadButton是一个输入小部件,而validate应该与输出一起使用。

我的解决方法是,如果不满足下载要求,则隐藏(或禁用)downloadButton。可以使用shinyjs来完成,它可以让您按ID隐藏或禁用按钮。

library(shiny)
library(shinyjs)

ui <- fluidPage(
  useShinyjs(),
  textInput("text", "content", "", placeholder = "please insert something"),
  hidden(downloadButton("download"))
)

server <- function(input, output, session) {
  output$download <- downloadHandler(
    filename = "file.csv",
    content = function(file) {
      write.csv(data.frame(content = input$text), file)
    }
  )

  observeEvent(input$text, {
    if (input$text == "")
      hide("download")
    else
      show("download")
  })
}

shinyApp(ui, server)

hide/show/hidden替换为enable/disable/disabled,以始终显示按钮,但只要input$text为空,就使其不可单击。
