\title{Create an object for storing reactive values}
\usage{
reactiveValues(...)
}
\arguments{
\item{...}{Objects that will be added to the reactivevalues object. All of
  these objects must be named.}
}
\description{
This function returns an object for storing reactive values. It is similar
to a list, but with special capabilities for reactive programming. When you
read a value from it, the calling reactive expression takes a reactive
dependency on that value, and when you write to it, it notifies any reactive
functions that depend on that value.
}
\examples{
# Create the object with no values
values <- reactiveValues()

# Assign values to 'a' and 'b'
values$a <- 3
values[['b']] <- 4

\dontrun{
# From within a reactive context, you can access values with:
values$a
values[['a']]
}

# If not in a reactive context (e.g., at the console), you can use isolate()
# to retrieve the value:
isolate(values$a)
isolate(values[['a']])

# Set values upon creation
values <- reactiveValues(a = 1, b = 2)
isolate(values$a)
