NavLink: NavLink

In reactRouter: 'React Router' for 'shiny' Apps and 'Quarto'

NavLink

Description

https://api.reactrouter.com/v7/variables/react-router.NavLink.html

Repeat clicks. The Shiny input value is the link's to string; clicking the same link twice publishes the same value and Shiny suppresses identical-value updates by default. See Link.shinyInput for the workaround.

Usage

NavLink(..., reloadDocument = FALSE)

NavLink.shinyInput(inputId, ..., reloadDocument = FALSE)

updateNavLink.shinyInput(
  session = shiny::getDefaultReactiveDomain(),
  inputId,
  ...
)

Arguments

...	Props to pass to element.
reloadDocument	Boolean. Default FALSE Let browser handle the transition normally
inputId	ID of the component.
session	For updateLink.shinyInput() / updateNavLink.shinyInput() only: the Shiny session object. Defaults to the current reactive domain. Not used by Link.shinyInput() / NavLink.shinyInput() themselves.

Details

The 'reloadDocument' prop controls whether clicking the link uses React Router's client-side navigation ('FALSE', the default) or skips it and lets the browser handle the click natively ('TRUE'). The default is correct for almost every use, including Shiny apps with server-rendered output ('uiOutput', 'renderUI', 'plotOutput', htmlwidgets) — Shiny output bindings re-attach automatically when React Router mounts the new route's element. See 'vignette("routers", package = "reactRouter")' for details.

Value

A NavLink component.
