sd_output function

Output Function for Displaying reactive objects and values

sd_output(
  id,
  type = NULL,
  width = "100%",
  display = "text",
  inline = TRUE,
  wrapper = NULL,
  ...
)

Arguments

• id: Character string. A unique identifier for the output element.

• type: Character string. Specifies the type of output. Can be "question", "value", or NULL. If NULL, the function behaves like shiny::uiOutput().

• width: Character string. The width of the UI element. Defaults to "100%".

• display: Character string. Specifies the display type for "value"

  outputs. Can be "text", "verbatim", or "ui". Only used when type = "value".

• inline: Logical. Whether to render the output inline. Defaults to TRUE.

• wrapper: Function. A function to wrap the output. Only used when type = "value".

• ...: Additional arguments passed to the underlying 'shiny' functions or the wrapper function.

Returns

A 'shiny' UI element, the type of which depends on the input parameters.

Details

The function behaves differently based on the type parameter:

• If type is NULL, it acts like shiny::uiOutput().
• If type is "question", it creates a placeholder for a reactive survey question.
• If type is "value", it creates an output to display the value of a survey question, with the display style determined by the display parameter.

Examples

if (interactive()) {
  library(surveydown)

  # Get path to example survey file
  survey_path <- system.file("examples", "sd_output.qmd",
                             package = "surveydown")

  # Copy to a temporary directory
  temp_dir <- tempdir()
  file.copy(survey_path, file.path(temp_dir, "survey.qmd"))
  orig_dir <- getwd()
  setwd(temp_dir)

  # Define a minimal server
  server <- function(input, output, session) {
    sd_server()
  }

  # Run the app
  shiny::shinyApp(ui = sd_ui(), server = server)

  # Clean up
  setwd(orig_dir)
}
