Description

With crosstalk it is possible to add quite a bit of interactivity to a dashboard without using Shiny. One limitation is that value boxes and gauges do not update to reflect the crosstalk selections. I guess this is really a request for new crosstalk-compatible htmlwidgets that evaluate a JavaScript expression and show the result as a number in a value box or gauge.

Research direction

Review the existing value box and gauge implementations, then investigate how Crosstalk selections are exposed to dashboard widgets. Determine the widget API and JavaScript expression behavior needed for both components. Done means value boxes and gauges update their displayed results when Crosstalk selections change, with the behavior covered by appropriate tests.
