I am trying to implement an app for making a test. The app will relay on a random generation of data on which the questions are formulated and, in this particular case a single choice multiple selection question is implemented. There is an actionButton that triggers the generation of new questions and also an actionButton which evaluates the selected answer.
Here is the app:
library(pacman)
p_load(here)
p_load(tidyverse)
p_load(shiny)
p_load(plotly)
p_load(stringi)
##########################################################
### generate the questions with its evaluations
### a random sample of these will be used in the app
lore<-stri_rand_lipsum(1, start_lipsum = TRUE)
questions<-substring(lore, seq(1, nchar(lore), 25), seq(25, nchar(lore), 25)) %>% {.[1:10]}
dic<-data.frame(id=letters[1:10],quest=questions,out=sample(c(T,F),10,replace = T))
##########################################################
ui <- fluidPage(
titlePanel("exam test"),
sidebarLayout(
sidebarPanel(
actionButton("sim",label ="generate questions"),
uiOutput('resetable_input'),
actionButton("run",label ="evaluate")
),
mainPanel(
h3("you selected"),
textOutput("ans1"),
h3("correct?"),
textOutput("eval1"),
h3("the answer is"),
textOutput("sol1")
)
)
)
server <- function(input, output, session){
### build radioButtons based on a sample from dic df.
output$resetable_input <- renderUI({
times <- input$sim
temp_ind<- c( sample(which(dic$out),1),sample(which(!dic$out),3) )
temp_ind<-sample(temp_ind)
div(id=letters[(times %% length(letters)) 1],
radioButtons("someb","Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet?",choiceNames=dic[temp_ind,"quest"],choiceValues=dic[temp_ind,"id"])
)
})
res_react<-eventReactive(
input$run,{
list(sel=dic[which(dic[,"id"]==input$someb),"quest"],
eval1=dic[which(dic[,"id"]==input$someb),"out"],
### here I don't know how to get the correct answer to display
sol="?")
}
)
output$ans1 <- renderText({ res_react()[["sel"]] })
output$eval1 <- renderText({ res_react()[["eval1"]] })
output$sol1 <- renderText({ res_react()[["sol"]] })
}
shinyApp(ui = ui, server = server)
The problem that I am facing is that I cannot get access to the whole set of available options from the radioButtons (id someb
) in order to provide the correct answer in the last textOutput (output$sol1
). I checked
