Loading message for slow downloadhandler()












1















I would like to ask if there is a way to display a loading message before the file is finally downloaded in my shiny app. My original dataset is big and I guess this is the reason for this delay. Below I attach a toy example in case someone can apply the reuested solution on this.



#ui.r
ui <- fluidPage(

# App title ----
titlePanel("Downloading Data"),

# Sidebar layout with input and output definitions ----
sidebarLayout(

# Sidebar panel for inputs ----
sidebarPanel(

# Input: Choose dataset ----
selectInput("dataset", "Choose a dataset:",
choices = c("rock", "pressure", "cars")),

# Button
downloadButton("downloadData", "Download")

),

# Main panel for displaying outputs ----
mainPanel(

tableOutput("table")

)

)
)
#server.r
server <- function(input, output) {

# Reactive value for selected dataset ----
datasetInput <- reactive({
switch(input$dataset,
"rock" = rock,
"pressure" = pressure,
"cars" = cars)
})

# Table of selected dataset ----
output$table <- renderTable({
datasetInput()
})

# Downloadable csv of selected dataset ----
output$downloadData <- downloadHandler(
filename = function() {
paste(input$dataset, ".csv", sep = "")
},
content = function(file) {
write.csv(datasetInput(), file, row.names = FALSE)
}
)

}

          I have implemented a solution based on your code. What you need to do is add a progress bar inside your downloadhandler().



          library(shiny)
          ui <- fluidPage(



          # App title ----
          titlePanel("Downloading Data"),

          # Sidebar layout with input and output definitions ----
          sidebarLayout(

          # Sidebar panel for inputs ----
          sidebarPanel(

          # Input: Choose dataset ----
          selectInput("dataset", "Choose a dataset:",
          choices = c("rock", "pressure", "cars")),

          # Button
          downloadButton("downloadData", "Download")

          ),

          # Main panel for displaying outputs ----
          mainPanel(

          tableOutput("table")

          )

          )
          )
          #server.r
          server <- function(input, output) {

          # Reactive value for selected dataset ----
          datasetInput <- reactive({
          switch(input$dataset,
          "rock" = rock,
          "pressure" = pressure,
          "cars" = cars)
          })

          # Table of selected dataset ----
          output$table <- renderTable({
          datasetInput()
          })

          # Downloadable csv of selected dataset ----
          output$downloadData <- downloadHandler(
          filename = function() {
          paste(input$dataset, ".csv", sep = "")
          },
          content = function(file) {
          shiny::withProgress(
          message = paste0("Downloading", input$dataset, " Data"),
          value = 0,
          {
          shiny::incProgress(1/10)
          Sys.sleep(1)
          shiny::incProgress(5/10)
          write.csv(datasetInput(), file, row.names = FALSE)
          }
          )
          }
          )

          }
          shiny::shinyApp(ui = ui, server = server)


          You can tailor this solution to your requirements (customize message, add loop etc). I hope this helps :-)

          "cars" = cars)
          })

          # Table of selected dataset ----
          output$table <- renderTable({
          datasetInput()
          })

          # Downloadable csv of selected dataset ----
          output$downloadData <- downloadHandler(
          filename = function() {
          paste(input$dataset, ".csv", sep = "")
          },
          content = function(file) {
          shiny::withProgress(
          message = paste0("Downloading", input$dataset, " Data"),
          value = 0,
          {
          shiny::incProgress(1/10)
          Sys.sleep(1)
          shiny::incProgress(5/10)
          write.csv(datasetInput(), file, row.names = FALSE)
          }
          )
          }
          )

          }
          shiny::shinyApp(ui = ui, server = server)


          You can tailor this solution to your requirements (customize message, add loop etc). I hope this helps :-)
