"Refresh" or clear output of current screen when you navigate away

[latlio]

Hi, recently found your package, and thanks for developing it!

I was wondering if it's possible to "reset" inputs/outputs when you navigate away a screen.

For instance, if you have (using pseudocode here):

• selectInput on Screen 1, buttons: Next
• random HTML text on Screen 2, buttons: Previous, Next
• print(input) on Screen 3, buttons: Previous, Return to first screen (<<)

How do you reset selectInput and print(input) on Screens 1 and 3 respectively when you navigate to away from those screens?

Hi,

I think this is outside the scope of shinyglide right now, you would have to implement it in JavaScript. The simpler way I can think of would be to registrer an handler for one of the Glide.js events :

And then, in the handler, use Shiny.setInputValue() to reset your inputs :

For information there is now a way to get pack the current slide as a Shiny input. See #22.
