Call Variable from reactive data() in R Shiny App

Question

I would like to call a certain variable within a reactive expression. Something like this:

server.R

library(raster)

shinyServer(fun         


        

Answer 1

Reactives are just like other functions in R. You can't do this:

f <- function() {
  x <- 1
  y <- 2
}

f()$x

So what you're within output$Plot() won't work either. You can do what you want by returning a list from data().

data <- reactive({

  inFile <- input$test 
  asc <- raster(inFile$datapath) 
  list(asc_new1 = 1/asc, asc_new2 = asc * 100)

}) 

Now you can do:

data()$asc_new1

Answer 2

"With data()$asc_new1 you wont be able to access the in the reactive context created variables (at least with the current shiny version). You need data()[1] data()[2] if you put it in a list like MadScone. Calling it with the $ sign would raise

Warning: Unhandled error in observer: $ operator is invalid for atomic vectors

However, the error your getting

Error in data()$fitnew : $ operator not defined for this S4 class

is not only because you access the variable wrong. You named the output of your reactive function data which is reserved name in R. You want to change that to myData or something.
