Access to the IDs of a list in Shiny












0














I have to create a variable number of checkboxInput with a related numeric input for each one. I have found on this page an interesting way to display it on the UI easily through a list, but I am not managing to use their ID together as an input parameter on other server functions.



I've tried:



input[[paste0("x",1:length(Animals)]]


But I need an alternative way to use as input all the ID's.



The code is the following one:



runApp(list(
ui = fluidPage(

fluidRow(
column(3,
uiOutput("RenderSliders")
)
)
),

server = function(input, output) {

output$RenderSliders <- renderUI({

Animals <- c("cat","dog","fish","cow")
NrOfAnimals <- length(Animals)

L <- vector("list",length = NrOfAnimals)

for(i in 1:NrOfAnimals){

L[[i]] <- fluidRow(column(1,checkboxInput(paste0("x",i) ,NULL,TRUE)),
column(2,Animals[i]),
column(4,numericInput(paste0("y",i) , NULL, value = i, min = 0, max = 10, step = 1)))
}
return(L)
})
}
))


I would appreciate any help you could provide me.



Thank you everybody.



Edit: Your answer help me to debug my app and realize that the problem is not the one I though. I update the post with the correct question.

    What have you tried that doesn't work? I've tried to add observe({ cat("x1:", input[["x1"]], "n") }) in the body of your server function and it works as intended.
