updateAirDateInput() does not update value if no options provided

[merlinoa]

The following app does not update the value of the airDatepickerInput when the action button is clicked. The value remains blank, but if you uncomment the options = list(maxDate = Sys.Date()), then the input is updated correctly.

library(shiny)
library(shinyWidgets)

ui <- fluidPage(
  fluidRow(
    column(
      12,
      airDatepickerInput(
        "date",
        "Date"
      ),
      actionButton(
        "set_date",
        "Set Date"
      )
    )
  )
)

server <- function(input, output, session) {

  observeEvent(input$set_date, {

    updateAirDateInput(
      session,
      "date",
      value = Sys.Date(),
      #options = list(maxDate = Sys.Date())
    )

  })

}

shinyApp(ui, server)

Thanks for reporting this.
This has been corrected in the version available on GitHub. On the other hand, I've just published it on CRAN an hour ago, so we'll have to wait a bit before we can put a new version up.

Great thanks! Yes, I can confirm, it is fixed in the latest version on github
