Conflict with shinyFeedback

[Aspirational-Human]

Hello,

I greatly appreciate the autonumericInput function's ability to format numeric inputs as currency. However, no matter what condition I set, I cannot make this input compatible with shinyFeedback to alert users when they have left a particular field empty. See my example below showing how autonumericInput is uniquely incompatible with shinyFeedback.

library(shiny)
library(bslib)
library(shinyFeedback)
library(shinyWidgets)

ui <- page_fluid(
  useShinyFeedback(),

  card(
    card_header("Input Form"),
    textInput("text_input", "Text Input"),
    numericInput("numeric_input", "Numeric Input", value = NA),
    autonumericInput(
      "autonumeric_input",
      "Autonumeric Input",
      value = NULL,
      align = "right",
      decimalPlaces = 2
    ),
    actionButton("submit", "Submit")
  )
  )

server <- function(input, output, session) {
  observeEvent(input$submit, {
    # Check text input
    if (is.null(input$text_input) || input$text_input == "") {
      showFeedbackDanger("text_input", "Please enter some text")
    } else {
      hideFeedback("text_input")
    }

    # Check numeric input
    if (is.na(input$numeric_input)) {
      showFeedbackDanger("numeric_input", "Please enter a number")
    } else {
      hideFeedback("numeric_input")
    }

    # Check autonumeric input
    if (is.null(input$autonumeric_input) || input$autonumeric_input == "" || is.na(input$autonumeric_input)) {
      showFeedbackDanger("autonumeric_input", "Please enter a number")
    } else {
      hideFeedback("autonumeric_input")
    }
  })
}

shinyApp(ui, server)

Hello,

shinyFeedback's support for autonumericInput() is available in the dev version, install package from GitHub and it will work:

remotes::install_github("merlinoa/shinyFeedback")

For an immediate CRAN available solution, you can try package shinyvalidate:

library(shiny)
library(bslib)
library(shinyvalidate)
library(shinyWidgets)

ui <- page_fluid(
  useShinyFeedback(),

  card(
    card_header("Input Form"),
    textInput("text_input", "Text Input"),
    numericInput("numeric_input", "Numeric Input", value = NA),
    autonumericInput(
      "autonumeric_input",
      "Autonumeric Input",
      value = NULL,
      align = "right",
      decimalPlaces = 2
    )
  )
)

server <- function(input, output, session) {

  # 1. Create an InputValidator object
  iv <- InputValidator$new()

  # 2. Add validation rules
  iv$add_rule("text_input", sv_required())
  iv$add_rule("numeric_input", sv_required())
  iv$add_rule("autonumeric_input", sv_required())

  # 3. Start displaying errors in the UI
  iv$enable()

}
