Error: object of type 'closure' is not subsettable

I am trying to change the values in 2 ValueBoxes (mean values of attribute 'pf_score' and 'ef_score' every year) with the help of slider, which has years 2008-2016. The output is visible as I wanted, but I am also seeing an error "object of type 'closure' is not subsettable"

UPDATE: I am not able to run entire code by clicking on Run-App. I am getting an error "Could not find function df1". I have to read all data frames first separately and then click Run-App to see the UI.

output screenshot

server.r

require(shiny)
require(dplyr)
require(shinydashboard)

shinyServer(function(input,output){
  
  df <- read.csv("hfi_cc_2018.csv", header = T)
  
  summary(df)
  sapply(df, function(x) sum(is.na(x)))
  #Replace Null Values
  df[is.na(df)] <- 0
  df[,5:ncol(df)] <- round(df[,5:ncol(df)], 2)
  
  #adding selective columns new df1
  #https://stackoverflow.com/questions/10085806/extracting-specific-columns-from-a-data-frame
  df1<- df[, (names(df) %in% c("year","pf_score", "ef_score"
  ))]

output$select_years <- renderUI(
{
   card <- df1 %>%
              filter(year == input$years)
   output$pfrank = renderValueBox(
     valueBox(round(mean(card$pf_score),1),
              "Personal Freedom Score")
   )
   output$efrank = renderValueBox(
     valueBox(round(mean(card$ef_score),1),
              "Economic Freedom Score")
   )
}
)
})

ui.r

require(shiny)
require(shinydashboard)

shinyUI(
  
  dashboardPage( 
    dashboardHeader(title = "Human Freedom Index", titleWidth = 300),
    dashboardSidebar(
      sliderInput("years","Select Year:",
                  min = min(df1$year),
                  max = max(df1$year),
                  value = min(df1$year),
                  step = 1),
      selectInput("variable","Select Freedom Factor:",
                  choices = colnames(df1)
                  )
    ),
    
    dashboardBody(
      uiOutput("select_years"),
      fluidRow(
        valueBoxOutput("pfrank"),
        valueBoxOutput("efrank")
      )
    )
  )
  
)

This type of error is discussed in: Error in <my code> : object of type 'closure' is not subsettable

In this case, it looks like you have card as a plain data frame whereas you need a reactive so that it gets recalculated as you move the slider. Also, the expression for renderUI can be simplified to just a list. e.g.,

ui <- shinyUI( ... )
server <- function(input, output) {
  card <- reactive({
    df1 %>%
    filter(year == input$years)
  })
  output$select_years <- renderUI(
    c(renderValueBox(valueBox(round(mean(card()$pf_score), 1),
                   "Personal Freedom Score")),
      renderValueBox(valueBox(round(mean(card()$ef_score), 1),
                   "Economic Freedom Score"))))
}
shinyApp(ui, server)

Also note that the new version of Shiny simplifies the syntax a bit. The code can just go in app.R and you need to define ui and server.

You could use an observe() to render the value boxes instead of renderUI:

require(shiny)
require(dplyr)
require(shinydashboard)

   df <- read.csv("hfi_cc_2018.csv", header = T)

   summary(df)
   sapply(df, function(x) sum(is.na(x)))
   #Replace Null Values
   df[is.na(df)] <- 0
   df[,5:ncol(df)] <- round(df[,5:ncol(df)], 2)

   #adding selective columns new df1
   #https://stackoverflow.com/questions/10085806/extracting-specific-columns-from-a-data-frame
   df1 <- df[, (names(df) %in% c("year","pf_score", "ef_score"))]

 #UI  
 ui <- dashboardPage( 
    dashboardHeader(title = "Human Freedom Index", titleWidth = 300),
    dashboardSidebar(
      sliderInput("years","Select Year:",
                  min = min(df1$year),
                  max = max(df1$year),
                  value = min(df1$year),
                  step = 1),
      selectInput("variable","Select Freedom Factor:",
                  choices = colnames(df1)
      )
    ),

    dashboardBody(
      fluidRow(
        valueBoxOutput("pfrank"),
        valueBoxOutput("efrank")
      )
    )
  )

#Server
 server <- function(input,output){

   observe({
       card <- df1 %>%
         filter(year == input$years)
       output$pfrank = renderValueBox(
         valueBox(round(mean(card$pf_score),1),
                  "Personal Freedom Score")
       )
       output$efrank = renderValueBox(
         valueBox(round(mean(card$ef_score),1),
                  "Economic Freedom Score")
       )
     })
 }

#Run app
shinyApp(ui, server)
