Chisel

The latest version of sever adds a chisel function which changes error messages raised by validate and need. These are referred to as "silent errors." This is useful if one also wants to apply styling to those softer errors.

library(shiny)
library(sever)

ui <- fluidPage(
  useSever(),
  fluidRow(
    selectInput("required_input", "Required input",
      choices = c("Red pill", "Blue pill"), 
      multiple = TRUE
    ),
    uiOutput("thing")
  )
)

server <- function(input, output){
  cleave()
  chisel(color = "black", center_horizontal = FALSE)

  # will generate errors
  output$thing <- renderUI({
    validate(need(input$required_input, "Required input is required 😂"))
    if("Red pill" %in% input$required_input) {
      h1("Good choice!")
    } else {
      stop("A regrettable decision.")
    }
  })

}

shinyApp(ui, server)

Note that one can also have these with cleave but then both hard and silent errors will have the same styling: cleave(silent_errors = TRUE).
