Define a Slate Input

slateInput(
  name,
  type = "character",
  default = NULL,
  parent = "auto",
  long.name = "",
  description = "",
  condition = NULL,
  wizards = list(),
  input.type = type,
  ...
)

Arguments

name	the name of the input.
type	the type of the input. use `names(input.handlers)` for a list of valid input types.
default	the default value for the input.
parent	the parent of this input. Can be either the name of a group or page, or NULL to have the input be a child of root, or "auto" (the default) to infer the parent based on the order of page, group and input definitions. See `inferSlateLayout()` for details.
long.name	the name to display in the user interface, or NULL to use the input's name
description	the description of the input. Usually this is shown via a tooltip.
condition	an expression that determines the visibility of this input, or NULL to always show the input.
wizards	a list of wizards associated with this input. Wizards will ususally be displayed in a dropdown menu above the input. See `slateWizard()` for details.
input.type	legacy: use `type` instead
...	additional input parameters to be stored in the input structure. These are usually type-specific parameters, such as `choices` if the input is of type `select`.

Value

A list of input parameters suitable to be passed along to other rslates functions.
