Change the value of a picker input on the client

Usage

updatePickerInput(
  session = getDefaultReactiveDomain(),
  inputId,
  label = NULL,
  selected = NULL,
  choices = NULL,
  choicesOpt = NULL,
  options = NULL,
  clearOptions = FALSE
)

Arguments

session

The session object passed to function given to shinyServer.

inputId

The id of the input object.

label

Display a text in the center of the switch.

selected

The new selected value (or multiple values if multiple = TRUE). To reset selected value, in case of multiple picker, use character(0).

choices
