# Create caption ----
# The output$caption is computed based on a reactive expression
# that returns input$caption. When the user changes the
# "caption" field:
#
# 1. This function is automatically called to recompute the output
# 2. New caption is pushed back to the browser for re-display
#
# Note that because the data-oriented reactive expressions
# below don't depend on input$caption, those expressions are
# NOT called when input$caption changes
output$caption <- renderText({
input$caption

# Generate a summary of the dataset ----
# The output$summary depends on the datasetInput reactive
# expression, so will be re-executed whenever datasetInput is
# invalidated, i.e. whenever the input$dataset changes
output$summary <- renderPrint({
dataset <- datasetInput()
summary(dataset)
})
# Show the first "n" observations ----
# The output$view depends on both the databaseInput reactive
# expression and input$obs, so it will be re-executed whenever
# input$dataset or input$obs is changed
output$view <- renderTable({
head(datasetInput(), n = input$obs)
