Pasting multiple items into selectizeInput [shiny]

Question

I'm building an application which uses selectize inputs with multiple = TRUE. I was looking for a way to allow users to paste in a comma separated list of items instead of having to enter each one in individually. It looks like selectize.js supports this as of version 0.12.0.

Is there a way to do this in Shiny?

This can be done using strsplit

choices <- "choice 1, some other choice, and another one"

shinyApp(
  fluidPage(selectInput("id", "select", strsplit(choices, ", ")[[1]])),
  function(...){}
)
