In YTLogos/shinyjs: Easily Improve the User Experience of Your Shiny Apps in Seconds

Description

You can use delay if you want to wait a specific amount of time before running code. This function can be used in combination with other shinyjs functions, such as hiding or resetting an element in a few seconds, but it can also be used with any code as long as it's used inside a Shiny app.

Usage

delay(ms, expr)

Arguments

ms	The number of milliseconds to wait (1000 milliseconds = 1 second) before running the expression.
expr	The R expression to run after the specified number of milliseconds has elapsed.

Note

shinyjs must be initialized with a call to useShinyjs() in the app's ui.
