How do I perform the same calculation on an input variable for many output variables in an R shiny app?

Question

Situation

I have a shinyApp with one slider input and two text outputs. The App does some calculation on the input and returns the output in static text fields. Here is my current code:

library(shiny)

ui=fluidPage(
  sliderInput("slider", "Slide Me", 0, 100,1),
  textOutput("result01"),
  textOutput("result02")
)

server=function(input,output){

output$result01=renderText({
  MYVARIABLE=(input$slider)^12
  MYVARIABLE+34543
  })

output$result02=renderText({
  MYVARIABLE=(input$slider)^12
  MYVARIABLE+67544
})

}

shinyApp(ui, server)

Problem

The code is inefficent, because it does the same calculation TWICE:

MYVARIABLE=(input$slider)^12

This is okay for the moment, because the calculation is not terribly complicated and because I only have two outputs. In the future however, I want to do a more complicated calculation for many more outputs at the same time.

Wish

To only do the same calculation once and not multiple times, I would like to do something like this on the server side:

server=function(input,output){

MYVARIABLE=(input$slider)^12

output$result01=renderText({
  MYVARIABLE+34543
  })

output$result02=renderText({
  MYVARIABLE+67544
})

}

However, this gives the following error message:

Error in .getReactiveEnvironment()$currentContext() : 
  Operation not allowed without an active reactive context. (You tried to do something that can only be done from inside a reactive expression or observer.)

Question

What do I need to change my code to, to make this work? (Thanks in advance.)

Answer 1

We can place that inside reactive

library(shiny)
options(scipen = 999) 
ui <- fluidPage(
  sliderInput("slider", "Slide Me", 0, 100,1),
  textOutput("result01"),
  textOutput("result02")
)

server <- function(input,output){

  MYVARIABLE <- reactive({(input$slider)^12})

  output$result01 <- renderText({
    MYVARIABLE()+34543
  })

  output$result02 <- renderText({
    MYVARIABLE()+67544
  })

}

shinyApp(ui, server)
