Specific formats for numeric inputs to show up in UI display #414

Closed AlexPars closed 2 years ago

AlexPars commented 2 years ago

Combination of shiny.semantic, semantic.dashboard and Semantic (Fomantic) UI is truly outstanding. One area I still have problems with is how to make specific formats for numeric inputs (passed to UI using either shiny.semantic::numericInput or shiny.semantic::numeric_input) to show up in UI display.

For example, 0.045 to show up as 4.5%, or 1234 euros to show up as 1234 followed up (or preceded by) the euro sign, or 13583135 and 23/100 to be written as 13,583,135.23 (US notation) or 13 583 135,23 (European notation) or 13.583.135,23 (another European notation)

I have not found this info in any examples provided for shiny.semantic, and I perhaps I have missed something.

I have found other very good packages to do this, such as shinyWidgets (for example functions formatNumericInput and autonumericInput), but they rely on Bootstrap rather than on SemanticUI

I still have not found a good solution to this issue of displaying in UI the formatted numbers such as currency format (e.g. $287,345.32) or percentage format (such as 69.72%)

Would you have any suggestions?

We can close this issue. While originally I have found solutions that were much more involved, it appears that getting the UI output through shinyWidgets::autonumericinput is providing a "good enough" solution that is only R-based
