Select a whole group in pickerInput about shinywidgets HOT 5 CLOSED

This functionnality is available in virtualSelectInput() (added in shinyWidgets v0.7.0):

library(shiny)
library(shinyWidgets)

ui <- fluidPage(
  fluidRow(
    column(
      width = 4,
      virtualSelectInput(
        inputId = "my_id",
        label = "Select groups :",
        choices = list(`East Coast` = list("NY", "NJ", "CT"),
                       `West Coast` = list("WA", "OR", "CA"),
                       `Midwest` = list("MN", "WI", "IA")),
        multiple = TRUE
      )
    ),
    column(
      width = 4,
      verbatimTextOutput("res")
    )
  )
  
  
)

server <- function(input, output, session) {
  
  output$res <- renderPrint(input$my_id)
  
}

shinyApp(ui, server)

But I don't think pickerInput will ever support it.

Hi,
You're welcome :)
That's an interesting fonctionnality ! However I don't know if it's possible...
I'll look into it and let you know.

Did this ever get looked in to further? I've found that it's a piece of functionality that is quite often asked about.

Thanks for the quick answer! That's a shame, but it makes sense not to focus on that feature in pickerInput if it exists and works well in virtualSelectInput.

I din't know virtualSelectInput but it does exactly what I wanted. Thanks !
