In the code below, I am not able to activate the menuSubitem when opening it using the 'Computation completed' link in the first tab. The link opens the correct tab but fails to automatically activate/open the associated submenu in the sidebar.
Code is modified from the example here, Direct link to tabItem with R shiny dashboard.
library(shiny)
library(shinydashboard)
ui <- shinyUI(
dashboardPage(
dashboardHeader(title = "Some Header"),
dashboardSidebar(
sidebarMenu(
menuItem("Computations", tabName = "tabItem1", icon = icon("dashboard")),
menuItem("Results", tabName = "tabItem2", icon = icon("th"),
menuSubItem("Test", tabName = "subitem2"))
)
),
dashboardBody(
tags$script(HTML("
var openTab = function(tabName){
$('a', $('.sidebar')).each(function() {
if(this.getAttribute('data-value') == tabName) {
this.click()
};
});
}
")),
tabItems(
tabItem(tabName = "tabItem1",
fluidRow(
box(plotOutput("plot1", height = 250)),
box(
title = "Controls",
sliderInput("slider", "Number of observations:", 1, 100, 50)
)
),
infoBoxOutput("out1")
),
tabItem(tabName = "subitem2",
h2("Widgets tab content")
)
)
)
)
)
server <- function(input, output){
histdata <- rnorm(500)
output$plot1 <- renderPlot({
data <- histdata[seq_len(input$slider)]
hist(data)
})
output$out1 <- renderInfoBox({
infoBox("Completed",
a("Computation Completed", onclick = "openTab('subitem2')", href="#"),
icon = icon("thumbs-o-up"), color = "green"
)
})
}
shinyApp(ui, server)
