App not treating interactive table like a data.frame

[AmyMikhail]

Problem statement:

After the interactive table is populated with coordinates and a shapefile is selected, in order to get the intersect for the shapefile regions and selected coordinates and add the regions to the table, the table first has to be converted to an sf object. This is failing with the following error:

Warning: Error in UseMethod: no applicable method for 'st_as_sf' applied to an object of class "c('reactiveVal', 'reactive', 'function')"
  1: runApp

Proposed solution:

Need to work out how to convert the interactive table to a data.frame before this step, then convert it back to an interactive table?

Update:

After edits, the following is now improved:

• shapefile is read in
• data.frame is updated with region names and codes

But: column names are missing because the app quits before allowing selection of the columns from the shapefile that hold the region names and codes:

Warning: Error in evalAll: attempt to apply non-function

although coordinates are longitude/latitude, st_contains assumes that they are
planar
Warning: Error in mutate: ℹ In argument: `Region = get_region(...)`.
