How to Filter Data in a Shiny App: A Step-by-Step Guide for Choosing the Correct Input Value

The bug in the code is that when selectInput("selectInput1", "select Name:", choices = unique(jumps2$Name)) is run, it doesn’t actually filter by the selected name because the choice list is filtered after the value is chosen. To fix this issue, we need to use valuechosen instead of just input$selectInput1. Here’s how you can do it:

library(shiny)
library(ggplot2)

# Define UI
ui <- fluidPage(
  # Add title
  titlePanel("K-Means Clustering Example"),
  
  # Sidebar with input control
  sidebarLayout(
    sidebarPanel(
      selectInput("selectInput1", "select Name:", choices = unique(jumps2$Name))
    ),
    
    # Main plot area
    mainPanel(
      plotOutput("plot")
    )
  )
)

# Define server logic
server <- function(input, output) {
  # Filter data based on selected name
  filtered_data <- reactive({
    jumps2[jumps2$Name == input$selectInput1, ]
  })
  
  # Plot data
  output$plot <- renderPlot({
    filtered_data() %>%
      ggplot(aes(x = Date, y = Av.Jump)) +
        geom_line()
  })
}

# Run the application 
shinyApp(ui = ui, server = server)

This code creates a Shiny app with a select box that filters data based on the selected name. The filtered data is then plotted using ggplot2.
