Stop carousel autoplay using Shiny and JavaScript

[ixodid198]

I am using the carousel from R's bsplus package. I want to stop the auto play. Various solutions have been mentioned here. I can't get any of them to work consistently. This code doesn't autoplay at first. If you click the right chevron, autoplay begins.

How do I prevent autoplay from ever happening?

library("shiny")
library("shinyjs")
library("bsplus")

# Stop autoplay

jscode <- "
shinyjs.init = function() {
  $('.carousel').carousel({ interval: false });
}"

ui <- fluidPage(
  
  shinyjs::useShinyjs(),
  extendShinyjs(text = jscode, functions = c()),
  
  # Application title
  titlePanel("Carousel Demo"),
  
  uiOutput("carousel")
)

server <- shinyServer(function(input, output) {
  output$carousel <- renderUI({
    bs_carousel(id = "images", use_indicators = TRUE) %>%
      bs_append(
        content = bs_carousel_image(src = "https://placehold.it/900x500/3c8dbc/ffffff&text=Merry")
      ) %>%
      bs_append(
        content = bs_carousel_image(src = "https://placehold.it/900x500/3c8dbc/ffffff&text=Christmas")
      ) %>%
      bs_append(
        content = bs_carousel_image(src = "https://placehold.it/900x500/3c8dbc/ffffff&text=To")
      ) %>%
      bs_append(
        content = bs_carousel_image(src = "https://placehold.it/900x500/3c8dbc/ffffff&text=All")
      ) 
  })
  
})

# Run the application
shinyApp(ui = ui, server = server)```
