\title{Select variables from a data frame}
\usage{
varSelectInput(
inputId,
label,
data,
selected = NULL,
multiple = FALSE,
selectize = TRUE,
width = NULL,
size = NULL
)
varSelectizeInput(inputId, ..., options = NULL, width = NULL)
}
\arguments{
\item{inputId}{The \code{input} slot that will be used to access the value.}
\item{label}{Display label for the control, or \code{NULL} for no label.}
\item{data}{A data frame. Used to retrieve the column names as choices for a \code{\link[=selectInput]{selectInput()}}}
\item{selected}{The initially selected value (or multiple values if \code{multiple = TRUE}). If not specified then defaults to the first value for
single-select lists and no values for multiple select lists.}
\item{multiple}{Is selection of multiple items allowed?}
\item{selectize}{Whether to use \pkg{selectize.js} or not.}
\item{width}{The width of the input, e.g. \code{'400px'}, or \code{'100\%'};
see \code{\link[=validateCssUnit]{validateCssUnit()}}.}
\item{size}{Number of items to show in the selection box; a larger number
will result in a taller box. Not compatible with \code{selectize=TRUE}.
Normally, when \code{multiple=FALSE}, a select input will be a drop-down list,
but when \code{size} is set, it will be a box instead.}
\item{...}{Arguments passed to \code{varSelectInput()}.}
\item{options}{A list of options. See the documentation of \pkg{selectize.js}(\url{https://selectize.dev/docs/usage})
for possible options (character option values inside \code{\link[base:AsIs]{base::I()}} will
be treated as literal JavaScript code; see \code{\link[=renderDataTable]{renderDataTable()}}
for details).}
}
\value{
A variable select list control that can be added to a UI definition.
}
\description{
Create a select list that can be used to choose a single or multiple items
from the column names of a data frame.
}
\details{
By default, \code{varSelectInput()} and \code{selectizeInput()} use the
JavaScript library \pkg{selectize.js}
(\url{https://selectize.dev/}) to instead of the basic
select input element. To use the standard HTML select input element, use
\code{selectInput()} with \code{selectize=FALSE}.
}
\note{
The variable selectize input created from \code{varSelectizeInput()} allows
deletion of the selected option even in a single select input, which will
return an empty string as its value. This is the default behavior of
\pkg{selectize.js}. However, the selectize input created from
\code{selectInput(..., selectize = TRUE)} will ignore the empty string
value when it is a single choice input and the empty string is not in the
\code{choices} argument. This is to keep compatibility with
\code{selectInput(..., selectize = FALSE)}.
}
\section{Server value}{
The resulting server \code{input} value will be returned as:
\itemize{
\item A symbol if \code{multiple = FALSE}. The \code{input} value should be
used with rlang's \code{\link[rlang:injection-operator]{rlang::!!()}}. For example,
\code{ggplot2::aes(!!input$variable)}.
\item A list of symbols if \code{multiple = TRUE}. The \code{input} value
should be used with rlang's \code{\link[rlang:splice-operator]{rlang::!!!()}} to expand
the symbol list as individual arguments. For example,
\code{dplyr::select(mtcars, !!!input$variabls)} which is
equivalent to \code{dplyr::select(mtcars, !!input$variabls[[1]], !!input$variabls[[2]], ..., !!input$variabls[[length(input$variabls)]])}.
}
}
\examples{
## Only run examples in interactive R sessions
if (interactive()) {
library(ggplot2)
# single selection
shinyApp(
ui = fluidPage(
varSelectInput("variable", "Variable:", mtcars),
plotOutput("data")
),
server = function(input, output) {
output$data <- renderPlot({
ggplot(mtcars, aes(!!input$variable)) + geom_histogram()
})
}
)
# multiple selections
\dontrun{
shinyApp(
ui = fluidPage(
varSelectInput("variables", "Variable:", mtcars, multiple = TRUE),

mtcars \%>\% dplyr::select(!!!input$variables)
