The reason for this is that Shiny uses lazy evaluation in reactive expressions, meaning that the expression is not immediately evaluated when the input values change. Instead, the expression is re-evaluated only when its output is needed by another part of the app, such as a plot or table.
As a result, when the as.factor() function is used in a reactive expression in Shiny, it is not immediately evaluated as it would be in base R. This can cause issues such as unexpected behavior or errors in the app.
To avoid this issue, you can use the factor() function instead of as.factor() in your reactive expressions. The factor() function will work in both base R and Shiny, providing consistent results.
