bootstrapSwitch on shiny doesn't work


It's simple example from http://shiny.rstudio.com/gallery/widget-gallery.html. After initializing the Bootstrap Switch, the output doesn't change when I click button. Did I miss something?

library(shiny)

ui <- shinyUI(fluidPage(
  tags$head(tags$link(rel = "stylesheet", type = "text/css", href = "//cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/bootstrap-switch/3.3.2/css/bootstrap3/bootstrap-switch.min.css")),                      
  tags$head(tags$script(src='//cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/bootstrap-switch/3.3.2/js/bootstrap-switch.min.js',type='text/javascript')),
  tags$head(tags$script("$(document).ready(function($) {
                        $('#check').bootstrapSwitch();
                        });",
                                 type='text/javascript')),
  checkboxInput("check", label = "", value = TRUE),
  fluidRow(column(3, verbatimTextOutput("value")))

  ))


server <- shinyServer(function(input, output) {

  output$value <- renderPrint({ input$check })

  outputOptions(output, "value", suspendWhenHidden = FALSE)        

})


shinyApp(ui, server)

Solution

  • You can try use javascript to change value

    server

    shinyServer(function(input, output,session) {
    
    })
    

    UI

    library(shiny)
    shinyUI(fluidPage(
      tags$head(tags$link(rel = "stylesheet", type = "text/css", href = "//cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/bootstrap-switch/3.3.2/css/bootstrap3/bootstrap-switch.min.css")),                      
      tags$head(tags$script(src='//cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/bootstrap-switch/3.3.2/js/bootstrap-switch.min.js',type='text/javascript')),
        tags$head(tags$script("$(document).ready(function($) {
                              $('#check').bootstrapSwitch();
                      $('#value').text($('#check').bootstrapSwitch('state'));
    $('#check').on('switchChange.bootstrapSwitch', function () {
    
        $('#value').text($('#check').bootstrapSwitch('state'));
    
                              });
                              });",
                              type='text/javascript')),
      checkboxInput("check", label = "", value = F),
      fluidRow(column(3, verbatimTextOutput("value")))
    
    ))
    

    for using switch on server side you need Shiny.onInputChange

    UI

    library(shiny)
    shinyUI(fluidPage(
    
      tags$head(tags$link(rel = "stylesheet", type = "text/css", href = "//cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/bootstrap-switch/3.3.2/css/bootstrap3/bootstrap-switch.min.css")),                      
      tags$head(tags$script(src='//cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/bootstrap-switch/3.3.2/js/bootstrap-switch.min.js',type='text/javascript')),
        tags$head(tags$script("$(document).ready(function() {
                              $('#check').bootstrapSwitch();
    
    $('#check').on('switchChange.bootstrapSwitch', function () {
    var sw=$('#check').bootstrapSwitch('state')
        Shiny.onInputChange('check', sw)
                              });
                              });",
                              type='text/javascript')),
      checkboxInput("check", label = "", value = F),
      fluidRow(column(3, verbatimTextOutput("value"))      )
    
    
    ))
    

    Server

    shinyServer(function(input, output,session) {
    
    output$value <- renderPrint({ ifelse(input$check, rnorm(1), rnorm(1,10000)) })
    })
