New Feature

Bug Fixes

waiter 0.1.0 (2020-01-14)

Version 0.1.0 sees great many changes. Nothing has been broken but has been deprecated. The steward and garcon family of functions have been added.

Waiter

All functions now start with waiter_.

The Reference class Waiter takes a new optional id first argument which takes one or more ids of elements to overlay the waiter over, the content of the waiter (html) becomes the second argument. If passing a list of ids one can pass a list of content html.

library(shiny)
library(waiter)

ui <- fluidPage(
  use_waiter(),
  actionButton("btn", "Render"),
  fluidRow(
    column(6, plotOutput("plot1")),
    column(6, plotOutput("plot2"))
  )
)

server <- function(input, output) {

  w <- Waiter$new(
    list("plot1", "plot2"),
    html = list(spin_1(), spin_2())
  )

  dataset <- reactive({
    input$btn
    w$show()
    Sys.sleep(2)
    runif(100)
  })

  output$plot1 <- renderPlot(plot(dataset()))
  output$plot2 <- renderPlot(plot(dataset()))

}

shinyApp(ui, server)

Waitress

The waitress also sees a lot of changes, again nothing has been broken.

library(shiny)
library(waiter)

ui <- fluidPage(
  use_waitress(),
  actionButton("btn", "render"),
  plotOutput("plot")
)

server <- function(input, output) {

  w <- Waitress$new("#plot", min = 0, max = 10)

  output$plot <- renderPlot({
    input$btn

    w$start("LOADING")

    for(i in 1:10){
      Sys.sleep(.3)
      w$inc(1)
    }

    w$close()

    plot(runif(100))
  })

}

shinyApp(ui, server)

Hostess

The hostess is a new addition to the staff, it works hand in hand with waiter to allow you to layer a progress bar on top of the waiter (though it can be used on its own). Moreover the latter progress bars can be greatly customised.

library(shiny)
library(waiter)

ui <- fluidPage(
  use_waiter(),
  use_hostess(),
  waiter_show_on_load(
    color = "#f7fff7",
    hostess_loader(
      "loader", 
      preset = "circle", 
      text_color = "black",
      class = "label-center",
      center_page = TRUE
    )
  )
)

server <- function(input, output){
  hostess <- Hostess$new("loader")

  for(i in 1:10){
    Sys.sleep(runif(1) / 2)
    hostess$set(i * 10)
  }

  waiter_hide()
}
