updateCheckboxGroupInput {shiny} | R Documentation

## Change the value of a checkbox group input on the client

### Description

Change the value of a checkbox group input on the client

### Usage

    updateCheckboxGroupInput(session, inputId, label = NULL, choices = NULL,
      selected = NULL, inline = FALSE)

### Arguments

`session` | The `session` object passed to function given to `shinyServer`.
`inputId` | The id of the input object.
`label` | The label to set for the input object.
`choices` | List of values to show checkboxes for. If elements of the list are named then that name rather than the value is displayed to the user.
`selected` | The values that should be initially selected, if any.
`inline` | If `TRUE`, render the choices inline (i.e. horizontally)

### Details

The input updater functions send a message to the client, telling it to change the settings of an input object. The messages are collected and sent after all the observers (including outputs) have finished running.

The syntax of these functions is similar to the functions that created the inputs in the first place. For example, `numericInput()` and `updateNumericInput()` take a similar set of arguments.

Any arguments with NULL values will be ignored; they will not result in any changes to the input object on the client.

For `radioButtons()`, `checkboxGroupInput()` and `selectInput()`, the set of choices can be cleared by using `choices=character(0)`. Similarly, for these inputs, the selected item can be cleared by using `selected=character(0)`.

### Examples

    ## Only run examples in interactive R sessions
    if (interactive()) {

    ui <- fluidPage(
      p("The first checkbox group controls the second"),
      checkboxGroupInput("inCheckboxGroup", "Input checkbox",
        c("Item A", "Item B", "Item C")),
      checkboxGroupInput("inCheckboxGroup2", "Input checkbox 2",
        c("Item A", "Item B", "Item C"))
    )

    server <- function(input, output, session) {
      observe({
        x <- input$inCheckboxGroup

        # Can use character(0) to remove all choices
        if (is.null(x))
          x <- character(0)

        # Can also set the label and select items
        updateCheckboxGroupInput(session, "inCheckboxGroup2",
          label = paste("Checkboxgroup label", length(x)),
          choices = x,
          selected = x
        )
      })
    }

    shinyApp(ui, server)
    }
