Shiny: how to select opened the first subitem in menu












1














I have quite complicated shiny app whose all menuItems are rendered inside the server part. It's been necessary to do. And now I can't find the solution how to select opened the first subitem in menu. The first page is just blank.



library(shiny)
library(shinydashboard)


ui <- dashboardPage(
dashboardHeader(
title = "Shiny"
),

dashboardSidebar(
sidebarMenu(

menuItemOutput("Section_1")

)
),

dashboardBody(

tabItems(
tabItem("report_1",h1("a")),
tabItem("report_2",h1("b")),
tabItem("report_3",h1("c"))
)
)
)


server <- function(input, output) {

output$Section_1 <- renderMenu({

menuItem("Section_1", tabName = "section_1", icon = icon("align-justify"),
startExpanded = TRUE, selected = TRUE,
menuSubItem("Subsection 1", tabName = "report_1", selected = TRUE),
menuSubItem("Subsection 2", tabName = "report_2"),
menuSubItem("Subsection 3", tabName = "report_3"))

})

}

shinyApp(ui,server)
