I have a shiny app which contains two files: app.R and functions.R

app.R:

# Setup ----
pacman::p_load(shiny, tidyverse, shinydashboard, lubridate, scales, DT)
source('functions.R', local = T)


# UI ----
header <- dashboardHeader(title = 'Velocity Spend & Return Calculator')
HTML("Adjust spend column for calculations")

sidebar <- dashboardSidebar(
  menuItem("dh", tabName = "dh", icon = icon("dashboard"))
)

body <- dashboardBody(
  tabItems(
    tabItem(tabName = "dh",
            h2("DH Estimator"),
            HTML("Adjust spend column for calculations"),
            DT::DTOutput('example_ui_dh')
            
    )
  )
)


ui <- dashboardPage(header, sidebar, body)


# Server ----
server <- function(input, output) {
  
  # Initial budgets, eventually set to come from dropdowns or user input
  budgets <- list(
    '2020.4' = 1000000,
    '2021.1' = 1000000,
    '2021.2' = 1000000,
    '2021.3' = 1000000,
    '2021.4' = 1000000
  )
  
  dh_proxy = DT::dataTableProxy('example_ui_dh')
  
  # eventually use distinct budgets for each, just demo right now
  output$example_ui_dh <- render_dt(budgets)
  
  # eventually make this a function
  # pass for now and just copy paste for demo
  # adding observeEvent to a function is not straightforwards
  
  # dh
  observeEvent(input$example_ui_dh_cell_edit, {
    info = input$example_ui_dh_cell_edit
    str(info)
    i = info$row
    j = info$col
    v = info$value
    budgets[[i]] <<- v %>% as.numeric()
    replaceData(dh_proxy, create_sample_df(budgets), resetPaging = FALSE)
  })
  
}
shinyApp(ui, server)

And functions.R

# generates an example df based on inputed budgets
create_sample_df <- function(budgets) {
    data.frame(cohort = seq('2020-10-01' %>% ymd, '2021-12-31' %>% ymd, by = '1 days')) %>% 
    mutate(Quarter = quarter(cohort, with_year = T)) %>% 
    add_count(Quarter) %>% 
    mutate(DailyBudget = budgets[Quarter %>% as.character] %>% unlist / n) %>% 
    group_by(Quarter) %>% 
    mutate(Revenue = DailyBudget + rnorm(n(), mean = 0, sd = DailyBudget / 5)) %>% 
    summarise(Spend = sum(DailyBudget),
              Revenue = sum(Revenue),
              .groups = 'drop') %>% 
    mutate(Profit = dollar(Revenue - Spend),
           Payback = percent(Revenue / Spend),
           Spend = dollar(Spend),
           Revenue = dollar(Revenue)) %>% 
    mutate(Quarter = as.character(Quarter)) # do this last keep ordering of quarters
}



# render DT
render_dt <- function(budgets, ...) {
  DT::renderDT(create_sample_df(budgets), editable = 'cell', server = T, 
               list(target = 'column', disable = list(columns = c(0,2,3,4))))
}

If I open the project directory and run, I get an error message:

Error: could not find function "create_sample_df"

If before running the app I manually run the functions within functions.R in the console, then the app does indeed load.

Actually, I must run the code in functions.R in the console and then the variable budgets. Only if I do these two things will my app run. This is preventing me from publishing the app.

I have tried sourcing the functions file within server as well as within observEvent, more out of acts of desperation. I did the same with creating the budgets variable.

App runs fine when I have the functions and budgets variable loaded up in environment as variables, just not when running for the first time.

How can I structure my app so that it runs on first load?

Note that when the app loads you need to click the 'dh' tab to see the result.

[edit]

Upated code based on Akrun's comment, using myenv:

# Setup ----
pacman::p_load(shiny, tidyverse, shinydashboard, lubridate, scales, DT)
myenv <- new.env()
source('functions.R', local  = myenv)


# UI ----
header <- dashboardHeader(title = 'Velocity Spend & Return Calculator')
HTML("Adjust spend column for calculations")

sidebar <- dashboardSidebar(
  menuItem("dh", tabName = "dh", icon = icon("dashboard"))
)

body <- dashboardBody(
  tabItems(
    tabItem(tabName = "dh",
            h2("DH Estimator"),
            HTML("Adjust spend column for calculations"),
            DT::DTOutput('example_ui_dh')
            
    )
  )
)


ui <- dashboardPage(header, sidebar, body)


# Server ----
server <- function(input, output) {
  
  # Initial budgets, eventually set to come from dropdowns or user input
  budgets <- list(
    '2020.4' = 1000000,
    '2021.1' = 1000000,
    '2021.2' = 1000000,
    '2021.3' = 1000000,
    '2021.4' = 1000000
  )
  
  dh_proxy = DT::dataTableProxy('example_ui_dh')
  
  # eventually use distinct budgets for each, just demo right now
  output$example_ui_dh <- myenv$render_dt(budgets)
  
  # dh
  observeEvent(input$example_ui_dh_cell_edit, {
    info = input$example_ui_dh_cell_edit
    str(info)
    i = info$row
    j = info$col
    v = info$value
    budgets[[i]] <<- v %>% as.numeric()
    replaceData(dh_proxy, myenv$create_sample_df(budgets), resetPaging = FALSE)
  })
  
}
shinyApp(ui, server)

No? Not sure what that is? I was using T as rstudio shorthand for TRUE - Doug Fir
Just rename the file functions.R to global.R. Then you don't need to source. - YBS
Alright, changed shorthand T to TRUE - Doug Fir
Based on this it should have worked - akrun
Yeah that does look like the same issue, but even adding local = TRUE to my call to source is resulting in the same error where the function is not found - Doug Fir
