Choices max size?

[Unperterbed]

Not really an issue, but I couldn't find info on the max number of choices that can go in choices, choicenames, or choicevalues for the different inputs. For context, I have an app deployed with a pickerinput whose choices will grow by about 2000-3000 each year. The choice list is populated by a SQL query, and the database is storing info about various company jobs. The pickerinput with search and subtext is by far the easiest way to search and select a job from the database, so I'm wondering how long I have until I have before I run out of capacity. Thanks!!

Hello,

pickerInput() might be slow with large volume of data, if it's the case you can switch to virtualSelectInput() that can support 110k choices easily, e.g. :

library(shiny)
library(shinyWidgets)

ui <- fluidPage(
  virtualSelectInput(
    inputId = "ID",
    label = "Single select (with 97310 choices) :",
    choices = sort(unique(babynames::babynames$name)),
    search = TRUE
  ),
  verbatimTextOutput("res")
)

server <- function(input, output, session) {
  output$res <- renderPrint(input$ID)
}

shinyApp(ui, server)
