Update a slimSelectInput() from the server.

updateSlimSelect(
  inputId,
  label = NULL,
  choices = NULL,
  selected = NULL,
  disable = NULL,
  open = NULL,
  session = shiny::getDefaultReactiveDomain()
)

Arguments

inputId

The input slot that will be used to access the value.

label

Display label for the control, or NULL for no label.

choices

List of values to select from. You can use:

• vector a simple vector.

• named list / named vector in the same way as with shiny::selectInput()

• cuxtom choices prepared with prepare_slim_choices().

selected

The initially selected value (or multiple values if multiple = TRUE). If not specified then defaults to the first value for single-select lists and no values for multiple select lists.

disable

Disable (TRUE) or enable (FALSE) the select menu.

open

Open (TRUE) or close (FALSE) the dropdown.

session

The session object passed to function given to shinyServer. Default is getDefaultReactiveDomain().
