How do I take in a user input and store as environment string in server.R?



Here's an example (which produces an error):



library(shiny)

# Define the UI

n <- 100

ui <- bootstrapPage(
numericInput('n', 'Number of obs', n),
textOutput('count_new')
)

# Define the server code
server <- function(input, output)

count <- as.numeric(renderText(input$n))
output$count_new <- renderText(count/10)



# Return a Shiny app object
shinyApp(ui = ui, server = server)

          Found the solution. Key is to use reactive in front of input. The variable can then be called followed by ().



          library(shiny)

          # Define the UI

          n <- 100

          ui <- bootstrapPage(
          numericInput('n', 'Number of obs', n),
          textOutput('count_new')
          )

          # Define the server code
          server <- function(input, output)

          count <- reactive(input$n)
          output$count_new <- renderText(count()/10)
