inst/examples/useRevalidator/app.R

# useRevalidator() shows whether the current route's loader is being re-run
# ("idle" or "loading") — without a page-level navigation.
#
# To trigger revalidation, inject the hook's `revalidate` function as the
# `onClick` handler of any element using the generic hook-wrapper pattern:
#   useRevalidator(tags$button(...), as = "onClick", selector = "revalidate")
#
# A 1-second delay is added to the loader so the "loading" state is visible.
