Package 'VizModules'

Title: Flexible, Interactive 'shiny' Modules for Almost Any Plot
Description: Offers a core selection of interactivity-first 'shiny' modules for many plot types meant to serve as flexible building blocks for applications and as the base for more complex modules. These modules allow for the rapid and convenient construction of 'shiny' apps with very few lines of code and decouple plotting from the underlying data. These modules allow for full plot aesthetic customization by the end user through UI inputs. Utility functions for simple UI organization, automated UI tooltips, and additional plot enhancements are also provided.

Adjust numeric column values in a data frame using mathematical transformations

Description

Applies a named mathematical transformation to a specified numeric column in a data frame, adding the transformed values as a new column (original column name + ".adj"). The transformation name must be one of the allowed functions listed in safe_resolve_adj_fxn (e.g., "log2", "log10", "sqrt", "abs", "as.factor"). The original data frame is returned unchanged if no transformation is specified or if the supplied name is invalid.

Usage

adjust_column_values(
  df,
  x.col = NULL,
  y.col = NULL,
  color.col = NULL,
  x.adj.fun = NULL,
  y.adj.fun = NULL,
  color.adj.fun = NULL
)

Arguments

df

A data frame containing the column to be transformed.

x.col

Character scalar. Name of the column for x‑axis values (optional).

y.col

Character scalar. Name of the column for y‑axis values (optional).

color.col

Character scalar. Name of the column for color values (optional).

x.adj.fun

Character scalar. Name of a transformation function to apply to x‑axis values, as accepted by safe_resolve_adj_fxn (e.g., "log2", "log10", "sqrt"). If NULL or an empty string, x‑axis values are left unchanged.

y.adj.fun

Character scalar. Name of a transformation function to apply to y‑axis values, as accepted by safe_resolve_adj_fxn. If NULL or an empty string, y‑axis values are left unchanged.

color.adj.fun

Character scalar. Name of a transformation function to apply to color values, as accepted by safe_resolve_adj_fxn. If NULL or an empty string, color values are left unchanged.

Value

A data frame identical to input df but with transformed columns added (e.g., mpg.adj) when valid transformations are specified.

data(mtcars)
mtcars_mod <- adjust_column_values(mtcars, x.col = "mpg", x.adj.fun = "log2")
head(mtcars_mod$mpg.adj)

Create an Example Module App from Any Module Trio

Description

Factory function that generates a standard Shiny application for any VizModules module. The resulting app features a Data Import section for uploading data files, a Data Table for viewing and editing the active dataset, and a Plot area for configuring and displaying an interactive plot.

Usage

createModuleApp(
  inputs_ui_fn,
  output_ui_fn,
  server_fn,
  data_list,
  title = "VizModules App"
)

Arguments

inputs_ui_fn

A function with signature ⁠function(id, data, ...)⁠ that returns module input UI elements (e.g. plotthis_BarPlotInputsUI()).

output_ui_fn

A function with signature ⁠function(id)⁠ that returns the module's output UI (e.g. plotthis_BarPlotOutputUI()).

server_fn

A function with signature ⁠function(id, data, ...)⁠ that drives the module server logic (e.g. plotthis_BarPlotServer()).

data_list

A named list of data frames. At least one element is required.

title

A character string used as the page title (default: "VizModules App").

Details

Uploaded files (Excel, CSV, TSV, or tab-delimited text) are added to the available datasets and can be selected for plotting. If an uploaded file shares a name with an existing dataset, the existing one is overwritten with a warning.

Every module-specific ⁠*App()⁠ convenience function (e.g. plotthis_BarPlotApp(), linePlotApp()) is a thin wrapper around createModuleApp(). You can also call it directly for quick prototyping or to create apps for custom wrapper modules.

Value

A shiny::shinyApp() object.

Examples

library(VizModules)

# Quick-launch a bar plot app with custom data:
app <- createModuleApp(
    inputs_ui_fn = plotthis_BarPlotInputsUI,
    output_ui_fn = plotthis_BarPlotOutputUI,
    server_fn    = plotthis_BarPlotServer,
    data_list    = list("iris" = iris),
    title        = "My Bar Plot"
)
if (interactive()) runApp(app)

# Works with any module trio, including custom wrapper modules:
app2 <- createModuleApp(
    inputs_ui_fn = dittoViz_scatterPlotInputsUI,
    output_ui_fn = dittoViz_scatterPlotOutputUI,
    server_fn    = dittoViz_scatterPlotServer,
    data_list    = list("iris" = iris),
    title        = "Scatter"
)
if (interactive()) runApp(app2)

Server logic for the dataFilter module

Description

Renders an interactive DT table with column-level filters and returns a reactive containing only the currently visible (filtered) rows. This reactive can be passed directly to any plotting module as its data argument.

Usage

dataFilterServer(id, data, factor.char.cols = TRUE, page.length = 10)

Arguments

id

The ID for the Shiny module. Must match the id used in dataFilterUI().

data

A reactive containing the data frame to display and filter.

factor.char.cols

Logical. When TRUE, all character columns in data are converted to factors before the table is rendered. This causes DT to display select-box filters for those columns instead of free-text search boxes. Defaults to TRUE.

page.length

Integer. The default number of rows shown per page. Defaults to 10.

Value

A reactive expression that evaluates to the filtered subset of data based on the current DT selection/filter state. Pass this reactive to a plotting module's data argument to keep the plot in sync with the table filters.

Create an example Modular scatterPlot Shiny Application

Description

This function generates a Shiny application with modular dittoViz::scatterPlot() components. The app features a Data Import section for uploading data, a Data Table for filtering the active dataset, and a Plot area for configuring and displaying an interactive scatter plot.

Usage

dittoViz_scatterPlotApp(data_list = NULL)

Arguments

data_list

An optional named list of data frames. If NULL (the default), list("sales" = gallery_sales) is used as example data.

Details

When data_list is not provided (or NULL), the app launches with gallery_sales as an example dataset. Uploaded data files are added to the available datasets and can be selected for plotting. If an uploaded file shares a name with an existing dataset, the existing one is overwritten with a warning.

This is a convenience wrapper around createModuleApp().

Value

A Shiny app object.

Input UI components for the scatterPlot module

Description

This should be placed in the UI where the inputs should be shown, with an id that matches the id used in the dittoViz_scatterPlotServer() and dittoViz_scatterPlotOutputUI() functions.

Usage

dittoViz_scatterPlotInputsUI(
  id,
  data,
  defaults = NULL,
  title = NULL,
  columns = 2
)

Arguments

id

The ID for the Shiny module.

data

The data frame used for plot generation.

defaults

A named list of default values for the inputs.

title

An optional title for the UI grid.

columns

Number of columns for the UI grid.

Details

The user inputs for this module are separated from the outputs to allow for more flexible UI design.

The inputs will automatically be organized into a grid layout via the organize_inputs() function, with columns controlling the number of columns in the grid.

Defaults can be set for each input by providing a named list of values to the defaults argument. Nearly all parameters for dittoViz::scatterPlot() can be set via these inputs, so see the help for that function for an exhaustive list.

Note that some of the parameters may have input types that differ from the actual function, e.g. shape.panel is a text input for comma-separated integers, while the function expects a vector of integers. The module will parse such inputs into the appropriate format for dittoViz::scatterPlot() automatically.

Value

A Shiny tagList containing the UI elements

Create an example Modular piePlot Shiny Application

Description

This function generates a Shiny application with modular piePlot components. The app features a Data Import section for uploading data, a Data Table for filtering the active dataset, and a Plot area for configuring and displaying an interactive pie plot.

Usage

piePlotApp(data_list = NULL)

Arguments

data_list

An optional named list of summary data frames (one row per slice). If NULL (the default), aggregated example data is used. Each data frame should already contain a label column and an aggregated numeric value column.

Details

When data_list is not provided (or NULL), the app launches with an aggregated example_sales dataset (revenue by product line). Uploaded data files are added to the available datasets and can be selected for plotting. If an uploaded file shares a name with an existing dataset, the existing one is overwritten with a warning.

This is a convenience wrapper around createModuleApp().

Value

A Shiny app object.

Create an example Modular BoxPlot Shiny Application

Description

This function generates a Shiny application with modular plotthis::BoxPlot() components. The app features a Data Import section for uploading data, a Data Table for filtering the active dataset, and a Plot area for configuring and displaying an interactive box plot.

Usage

plotthis_BoxPlotApp(data_list = NULL)

Arguments

data_list

An optional named list of data frames. If NULL (the default), list("demographics" = example_demographics) is used as example data.

Details

When data_list is not provided (or NULL), the app launches with example_demographics as an example dataset. Uploaded data files are added to the available datasets and can be selected for plotting. If an uploaded file shares a name with an existing dataset, the existing one is overwritten with a warning.

This is a convenience wrapper around createModuleApp().

Value

A Shiny app object.

if (interactive()) runApp(app2)

Input UI components for the BoxPlot module

Description

This should be placed in the UI where the inputs should be shown, with an id that matches the id used in the plotthis_BoxPlotServer() and plotthis_BoxPlotOutputUI() functions.

Usage

plotthis_BoxPlotInputsUI(id, data, defaults = NULL, title = NULL, columns = 2)

Arguments

The inputs will automatically be organized into a grid layout via the organize_inputs() function, with columns controlling the number of columns in the grid.

Defaults can be set for each input by providing a named list of values to the defaults argument. Nearly all parameters for plotthis::Histogram() can be set via these inputs, so see the help for that function for an exhaustive list.

Create an example Modular radarPlot Shiny Application

Description

This function generates a Shiny application with modular radarPlot components. The app features a Data Import section for uploading data, a Data Table for filtering the active dataset, and a Plot area for configuring and displaying an interactive radar plot.

Usage

radarPlotApp(data_list = NULL)

Arguments

data_list

An optional named list of data frames. If NULL (the default), list("skills" = example_skills) is used. Each data frame should contain columns for categories (theta) and values (r). For multiple traces, include a grouping column.

Details

When data_list is not provided (or NULL), the app launches with example_skills as an example dataset. Uploaded data files are added to the available datasets and can be selected for plotting. If an uploaded file shares a name with an existing dataset, the existing one is overwritten with a warning.

This is a convenience wrapper around createModuleApp().

Value

A Shiny app object.

Input UI components for the radarPlot module

Description

This should be placed in the UI where the inputs should be shown, with an id that matches the id used in the radarPlotServer() and radarPlotOutputUI() functions.

Usage

radarPlotInputsUI(id, data, defaults = NULL, title = NULL, columns = 2)

Arguments

id

The ID for the Shiny module.

data

The data frame used for plot generation.

defaults

A named list of default values for the inputs.

Resolve a color palette for plot groups

Description

Maps groups to colors using selected colors or a default palette. Handles named color vectors by matching to group names, fills in missing colors with fallback values, and ensures the output vector is named and matches group length.

Usage

resolve_palette(groups, selected_colors = NULL, default_palette = NULL)

Arguments

groups

A character vector of group names to assign colors to.

selected_colors

A named or unnamed character vector of colors to use. If named, colors are matched to groups by name. If NULL or empty, uses default_palette.

default_palette

A character vector of fallback colors to use when selected_colors is NULL/empty or when groups have missing colors. Defaults to "#000000" (black) if not provided.

Value

A named character vector of colors with names corresponding to groups, or NULL if groups is empty.

Author(s)

Jared Andrews

Examples

groups <- c("A", "B", "C")
colors <- c(A = "#FF0000", B = "#00FF00", C = "#0000FF")
resolve_palette(groups, colors)
# Returns: c(A = "#FF0000", B = "#00FF00", C = "#0000FF")

# Using default palette
resolve_palette(groups, NULL, c("#1B9E77", "#D95F02", "#7570B3"))
# Returns: c(A = "#1B9E77", B = "#D95F02", C = "#7570B3")

Safely evaluate a user-provided filter expression against a data frame

Description

Parses the expression text, validates that it only contains allowed operations (comparisons, logical operators, column references, and literals), then evaluates it in a restricted environment containing only the data frame columns. Returns a logical vector suitable for row subsetting, or NULL if the input is empty or invalid.

Usage

safe_eval_filter(expr_text, data)

Arguments

expr_text

Character string containing the filter expression (e.g., "Sepal.Length > 5 & Species == 'setosa'").

data

A data.frame whose columns are made available for the expression.

Details

Use this function any time a module evaluates a user-typed expression directly (e.g., a row-filter text input). Never call eval(str2expression()) on raw user input — doing so allows arbitrary code execution on the server.

Value

A logical vector the same length as nrow(data), or NULL if the input is empty, unparseable, or contains disallowed operations.

Author(s)

Jared Andrews

Examples

safe_eval_filter("Sepal.Length > 5", iris)
safe_eval_filter("Sepal.Length > 5 & Species == 'setosa'", iris)
safe_eval_filter("", iris) # NULL
safe_eval_filter("system('echo pwned')", iris) # NULL + warning

Safely resolve an adjustment function name to an actual function

Description

Validates that the provided function name is in the allowed list before converting it to a function reference. Returns NULL for empty strings or unrecognized names.

Usage

safe_resolve_adj_fxn(fn_name)

Arguments

fn_name

Character string — name of the adjustment function. Currently allowed values: "log2", "log", "log10", "neg_log10", "log1p", "as.factor", "abs", "sqrt".

Details

Use this instead of eval(str2expression()) when resolving function names from user input (e.g., a dropdown that selects a transformation like "log2" or "sqrt").

Value

The corresponding function, or NULL if fn_name is empty or not in the allowed list.

Author(s)

Jared Andrews

Examples

safe_resolve_adj_fxn("log2") # returns log2
safe_resolve_adj_fxn("") # NULL
safe_resolve_adj_fxn("system") # warning + NULL

Set up auto-update/isolate logic for reactive contexts

Description

A helper function that encapsulates the common pattern of handling auto-update functionality in module servers. When auto-update is disabled, it adds a dependency on the update button. Returns a wrapper function that either isolates reactive expressions or passes them through unchanged.

Usage

setup_auto_update_logic(input)

Arguments

input

The Shiny input object from the module server, should have both auto.update (boolean) and update (button) inputs.

Details

This function consolidates the following common pattern:

auto_update <- input$auto.update
if (!auto_update) {
    input$update
}
isolate_fn <- if (auto_update) identity else isolate

Usage in a reactive context:

output$plot <- renderPlotly({
    isolate_fn <- setup_auto_update_logic(input)
    # Now use isolate_fn to wrap input values
    x_val <- isolate_fn(input$x.value)
})

Value

A function that wraps reactive expressions. Returns identity if auto-update is enabled (expressions will be reactive), or isolate if auto-update is disabled (expressions will not trigger reactivity).

Author(s)

Jared Andrews

Examples

if (interactive()) {
    library(shiny)
    library(plotly)

    ui <- fluidPage(
        selectInput("x_var", "X variable", choices = names(mtcars), selected = "wt"),
        selectInput("y_var", "Y variable", choices = names(mtcars), selected = "mpg"),
        checkboxInput("auto.update", "Auto-update", value = TRUE),
        actionButton("update", "Update"),
        plotlyOutput("myPlot")
    )

    server <- function(input, output, session) {
        output$myPlot <- renderPlotly({
            isolate_fn <- setup_auto_update_logic(input)
            x_val <- isolate_fn(input$x_var)
            y_val <- isolate_fn(input$y_var)

Create an example Modular ternaryPlot Shiny Application

Description

This function generates a Shiny application with modular ternaryPlot components. The app features a Data Import section for uploading data, a Data Table for filtering the active dataset, and a Plot area for configuring and displaying an interactive ternary plot.

Usage

ternaryPlotApp(data_list = NULL)

Arguments

data_list

An optional named list of data frames. If NULL (the default), list("roles" = example_roles) is used. Each data frame should contain numeric columns for the three ternary axes (a, b, c). For multiple traces, include a grouping column.

Details

When data_list is not provided (or NULL), the app launches with example_roles as an example dataset. Uploaded data files are added to the available datasets and can be selected for plotting. If an uploaded file shares a name with an existing dataset, the existing one is overwritten with a warning.

This is a convenience wrapper around createModuleApp().

Value

A Shiny app object.

Input UI components for the ternaryPlot module

Description

This should be placed in the UI where the inputs should be shown, with an id that matches the id used in the ternaryPlotServer() and ternaryPlotOutputUI() functions.

Usage

ternaryPlotInputsUI(id, data, defaults = NULL, title = NULL, columns = 2)

Arguments

id

The ID for the Shiny module.

data

The data frame used for plot generation.

defaults

A named list of default values for the inputs.

title

An optional title for the UI grid.

columns

Number of columns for the UI grid.

Details

The user inputs for this module are separated from the outputs to allow for more flexible UI design.

The inputs will automatically be organized into a grid layout via the organize_inputs() function, with columns controlling the number of columns in the grid.

Defaults can be set for each input by providing a named list of values to the defaults argument. Provide data with numeric columns for the three ternary axes (a, b, c). For multiple traces, include a grouping column. Nearly all parameters for ternaryPlot() can be set via these inputs, so see the help for that function for an exhaustive list.

Value

A Shiny tagList containing the UI elements

Plot parameters not implemented or with altered functionality

The following ternaryPlot() parameters are not accessible via UI inputs:

  • a.titlefont.family, b.titlefont.family, c.titlefont.family - Axis title font families (use defaults to set)

Server logic for ternaryPlot module

Description

Server logic for ternaryPlot module

Usage

ternaryPlotServer(
  id,
  data,
  hide.inputs = NULL,
  hide.tabs = NULL,
  defaults = NULL
)

Arguments

id

The ID for the Shiny module.

data

A reactive containing the data frame to plot. Provide data with numeric columns for the three ternary axes (a, b, c). For multiple traces, include a grouping column.

hide.inputs

A character vector of input IDs to hide. These will still be initialized and their values passed to the plot function, but the user will not be able to see/adjust them in the UI.

hide.tabs

A character vector of tab names to hide. Inputs in these tabs will still be initialized and their values passed to the plot function, but the user will not be able to see/adjust them in the UI.

defaults

A named list of default values for the inputs. When the reset button is clicked, inputs are reset to these values rather than hardcoded fallbacks. Typically the same list passed to the corresponding UI function.

Value

The moduleServer function for the ternaryPlot module.

Update a multiColorPicker input on the client

Description

Change the color values assigned to groups in an existing multiColorPicker input from the server side. You can supply explicit colors, apply a palette by name, or reset the widget back to its initial state.

Usage

updateMultiColorPicker(
  session,
  inputId,
  colors = NULL,
  palette = NULL,
  reset = FALSE
)

Arguments

session

The Shiny session object, typically session.

inputId

Character. The input id of the multiColorPicker to update.

colors

Optional named character vector of hex colors keyed by group name. Only groups present in the vector will be updated; others remain unchanged. Ignored when palette or reset is provided.

palette

Optional character string giving the name of a palette (as supplied in the widget's palette_options). The palette's colors are applied in order to the widget's groups' color pickers and the palette selector is updated to match. Ignored when reset is TRUE.

reset

Logical. If TRUE, reset the widget to its initial state (colors and selected palette). Overrides colors and palette.

Value

Invisibly returns NULL. Called for its side effect.

Validate a user-provided expression string for safety

Description

Parses the expression text and walks the AST to ensure it only contains allowed operations (comparisons, logical operators, column references, and literals). Returns the original string if valid, or NULL if the input is empty, unparseable, or contains disallowed operations. This is useful when the expression string must be passed through to a downstream function (e.g., plotthis::BoxPlot(highlight = ...)) rather than evaluated directly.

Usage

validate_expression(expr_text, col_names)

Arguments

expr_text

Character string containing the expression to validate (e.g., "group == 'A' & value > 10").

col_names

Character vector of allowed column/symbol names (typically names(data)).

Details

Use this when a module passes a user-typed expression string to an external plotting function that will evaluate it internally. The string is validated but not executed by this function.

Value

The original expr_text string if safe, or NULL.
