Call UI input via string: R Shiny

Question

Thanks in advance.

Wondering if there is a way to call a ui element via string in the server.r file.

Example: instead of ...

ui.Color <- input$color

do something like ...

ui.Color <- input[,"color"]

...kind of like you could do with a data frame. Issue is class(input) yields reactiveValues so I'm not quite sure how to subset it to get a particular value.

Thanks all!

Does this still work? I've noticed some odd behavior with recent updates in the shiny package.
