Description
Hello - I have an app that uses imageOutput with options 'click' and 'brush' to retrieve coordinates from a photo. The app works great when run directly from R, but once I export it with shinylive, the interactivity with the photo disappears. Not only do the input values not seem to update, the visual box that is normally created when clicking and dragging does not appear in the shinylive version.
Interestingly, the cursor does seem to have the expected '+' shape on initial load, but goes back to the standard arrow once it is moved.
Simple example:
library(shiny)
ui <- fluidPage(
sidebarLayout(
mainPanel(
imageOutput("current_photo",
click = "photo_click",
brush = "photo_brush"
)
),
sidebarPanel(
verbatimTextOutput("info")
)
)
)
server <- function(input, output, session) {
output$current_photo <- renderImage({
list(src = 'photo_1_fish.jpg',
width = '100%')
}, deleteFile = FALSE)
output$info <- renderText({
paste0(
"click-x: ", input$photo_click$x, '\n',
"brush-xmin: ", input$photo_brush$xmin
)
})
}
shinyApp(ui, server)
#shinylive::export("~/test", "~/ex_coord")

Research direction
Start by reproducing the provided R example with shinylive::export and compare it with the app run directly from R. Investigate the imageOutput click and brush interaction in the browser; done means the coordinate inputs update and the click-drag selection box appears in the exported app.
