I am trying to do this autocomplete using a list which would be populated dynamically from a database everytime the applications loads. Unfortunately the following approach isn't working.
rm(list = ls())
library(shinysky)
library(shiny)
library(RMySQL)
loadData <- function(publisherId) {
# Connect to the database
mydb = dbConnect(MySQL(), user='root', password='root',host='localhost',dbname="tq")
# Construct the fetching query
query <- sprintf("select * from tq.publisher_dim where publisher_id = %s",publisherId) # Submit the fetch query and disconnect
data <- dbGetQuery(mydb, query)
dbDisconnect(mydb)
data
}
loadPubIds <- function() {
# Connect to the database
mydb = dbConnect(MySQL(), user='root', password='root', host='localhost', dbname="tq")
# Construct the fetching query
query <- sprintf("select distinct publisher_id from tq.publisher_dim" )
# Submit the fetch query and disconnect
data <- dbGetQuery(mydb, query)
dbDisconnect(mydb)
data
}
my_autocomplete_list <- c(loadPubIds())
ui <- fluidPage(
select2Input("txt","",choices = NULL,selected = NULL),
textInput(inputId ="publisherId", label="choose publisherId", value = "", width = NULL, placeholder = NULL),
actionButton("goButton", "Go!"),
dataTableOutput('mytable')
#textOutput('myquery')
)
server <- function(input, output,session) {
test <- reactive({
pubs <- loadPubIds()
})
observe({
pubs <- loadPubIds()
updateSelect2Input(session, 'txt', choices = as.list(pubs), label = "")
})
output$mytable <- renderDataTable({
if (input$goButton == 0)
return()
isolate({ loadData(input$publisherId) })
})
}
shinyApp(ui = ui, server = server)
Any help would be great.
