Detect if a slimSelectInput is open/closed

[jistria]

Hi, thanks for adding the slimSelectInput widget. Is there a way to detect if a slimSelectInput is open/closed? Similar to input$<inputId>_open for pickerInput.

I was able to achieve this using the following JavaScript:

$(document).on('shiny:connected', function(event) {
  document.querySelector('#<inputId>').slim.events.beforeClose = () => {
    Shiny.setInputValue('<inputId>_open', false);
  };
  document.querySelector('#<inputId>').slim.events.afterOpen = () => {
    Shiny.setInputValue('<inputId>_open', true);
  };
});

I'll leave this issue open for you to consider alternative solutions and close when you wish. Thanks.

Thanks for the solution, I'll will implement this in the bindings.
