Have a look at validate, note that the example is taken from Write error messages for your UI with validate
rm(list = ls())
library(shiny)
runApp(list(
ui = (fluidPage(
titlePanel("Validation App"),
sidebarLayout(
sidebarPanel(
selectInput("data", label = "Data set",
choices = c("", "mtcars", "faithful", "iris"))
),
# Show a plot of the generated distribution
mainPanel(
tableOutput("table"),
plotOutput("plot")
)
)
)),
server = function(input, output) {
data <- reactive({
validate(
need(input$data != "", "Please select a data set")
)
get(input$data, 'package:datasets')
})
output$plot <- renderPlot({
hist(data()[, 1], col = 'forestgreen', border = 'white')
})
output$table <- renderTable({
head(data())
})
}
))
