I have a shiny App and would like to add a "Reset" button to clear all inputs. This is particularly useful if one has several inputs and does not want to reset each manually.
I tried the idea given here. It somewhat works in a buggy way but for some reason it prints the names of the variables above the reset button, ie. "categ_1", "date", "categ_2". Also, I don't know how to combine update & uiOutput in the below line:
output$resetable_input <- renderUI({
times <- input$reset_input
div(
id=letters[(times %% length(letters)) + 1],
# updateuiOutput(session,"firm"),
updateSelectInput(session,"categ_1",
choices = c("All",unique(as.character(df$CATEG_1)))),
updateSelectInput(session,"date",
choices = c("All","Last 28 Days","Last Quarter")),
updateSelectInput(session,"categ_2",
choices = c("All",unique(as.character(df$CATEG_2))))
)
})
Has anyone found an easy way to do this?
Many Thanks in advance!
Create sample data
set.seed(1) df <- data.frame(FIRM=rep(LETTERS[1:7],each=10), CATEG_1=rbinom(70,4,0.9),CATEG_2=rbinom(70,1,0.2),date=as.Date("2014-01-01")+1:10,y1=sample(1:100,70))
