I have switched to sweetalert2 since the old version is more limited than the new version which is actively developped.

I am running into a problem however, the code I used to observe confirm or cancel in the old version is not working for me anymore.

In the old version I used to add a function in the 'myjava' code after

closeOnConfirm: true}

namely:

,

 evalFunction = function(isConfirm){

if (isConfirm === true) {

var val1= 1;

Shiny.onInputChange('option1', [val1, Math.random()]);

}

else  {  

var val2= 2;

Shiny.onInputChange('option2'', [val2, Math.random()]);

}

}

but that doesn't work with sweetalert2 it seems.

I tried to try and make the examples on the site work but no luck. https://sweetalert2.github.io/
They use a structure like :

.then((result) =>  {

  if (result.value === true) {

  swal('Processing');

    } 

});

but it keeps resulting in a
Warning: Error in : shinyjs: Error parsing the JavaScript file: SyntaxError: Unexpected token >.

Here is the app to test it with. You will need to change the directory and download the two files to make sweetalert2 work
here: https://www.jsdelivr.com/package/npm/sweetalert2

download button is on the right of the title sweetalert2
and the 2 files needed are in the dist folder named:

sweetalert2.min.js & sweetalert2.min.css

setwd('FOLDER WHERE THE sweetalert2files are ')



library(shiny)

library(shinyjs)



myjava <- "shinyjs.swalFromButton = function(params) { 

  var defaultParams = {

    title : null,

    html : null

  };

  params = shinyjs.getParams(params, defaultParams);

  swal({title : params.title, html : params.html, 

    showConfirmButton : true,

    confirmButtonText : 'Left',

    confirmButtonColor: '#00cc00',

    showCancelButton : true,

    cancelButtonText : 'Right',

    cancelButtonColor :  '#339fff',

    closeOnCancel : true,

    allowOutsideClick: true,

    allowEscapeKey: true,

    closeOnConfirm: true});

};"



ui  <- fluidPage(



  actionButton(inputId = 'messagebutton', label = 'click me'),



  shinyjs::useShinyjs(),

  shinyjs::extendShinyjs(text = myjava),

  tags$head(includeScript("sweetalert2.min.js"),

            includeCSS("sweetalert2.min.css")

            )

)



server <- function(input, output, session) { 



  observeEvent(input$messagebutton, { 

    shinyjs::js$swalFromButton( title = paste('<span style ="color:#339FFF;">An alert with a choice'),

                          html = paste('Pick left or right'))



      })



  observeEvent(input$option1, { print('confirm choosen')})

  observeEvent(input$option2, { print('cancel choosen')})



}



shinyApp(ui = ui, server = server)

UPDATE
I tried endless variations of this javascript, removing the problematic > symbol as was suggested, but R keeps throwing 'error parsing the javascript code provided.

myjava <- "shinyjs.swalFromButton = function(params) { 

var defaultParams = {

title : null,

html : null

};

params = shinyjs.getParams(params, defaultParams);

swal({title : params.title, html : params.html, 

showConfirmButton : true,

confirmButtonText : 'Left',

confirmButtonColor: '#00cc00',

showCancelButton : true,

cancelButtonText : 'Right',

cancelButtonColor :  '#339fff',

closeOnCancel : true,

allowOutsideClick: true,

allowEscapeKey: true,

closeOnConfirm: true}).then((result){

  if (result.value === true) {

swal('Processing');

} 

});

};"

Thanks to Stéphane Laurents comments, this is the solution:
Including the means to send a variable back to R shiny.

myjava <- "shinyjs.swalFromButton = function(params) { 

var defaultParams = {

title : null,

html : null

};

params = shinyjs.getParams(params, defaultParams);

swal({title : params.title, html : params.html, 

showConfirmButton : true,

confirmButtonText : 'Left',

confirmButtonColor: '#00cc00',

showCancelButton : true,

cancelButtonText : 'Right',

cancelButtonColor :  '#339fff',

closeOnCancel : true,

allowOutsideClick: true,

allowEscapeKey: true,

closeOnConfirm: true})

.then(function(result){

  swal('succes');

  if (result.value === true) {

 var val1= true;

  Shiny.setInputValue('option1', val1, {priority: "event"});}  

else { 

swal('failure');

var val2= true;

          Shiny.setInputValue('option2', val2, {priority: "event"});}  

});

};"
