Delay Rendering for an Expression
In a Shiny document, evaluate the given expression after the document has finished rendering, instead of during render.
render_delayed(expr)
expr |
The expression to evaluate. |
This function is useful inside Shiny documents. It delays the evaluation of its argument until the document has finished its initial render, so that the document can be viewed before the calculation is finished.
Any expression that returns HTML can be wrapped in render_delayed
.
An object representing the expression.
expr
is evaluated in a copy of the environment in which
the render_delayed
call appears. Consequently, no side effects
created by expr
are visible in succeeding expressions, nor are
changes to the environment after the call to render_delayed
visible
to expr
.
expr
must be an expression that produces HTML.
