reactiveValues from server.R to global.R in shiny R

Question

I am defining my variables (sdate and edate) as reactive values in global.R

global.R

sdate = reactiveValues()    
edate=reactiveValues()   
print(sdate)  
print(edate)

I am getting start and end dates in server.R

output$daterange <- renderPrint({  
        assign('sdate', input$daterange[1], envir=.GlobalEnv)  
        assign('edate', input$daterange[2], envir=.GlobalEnv)  
        return(input$daterange)
      })

I would like to use sdate and edate back in global.R to filter my data

df[df$Date>=sdate & df$Date<=edate,]

The error I am getting is

Error in NextMethod(.Generic) : (list) object cannot be coerced to type 'double'

I agree with Joe's comment: you should ony use global.R to store some data and some functions, not to process something. About your error message, a reactivevalues object can be converted to an ordinary list object with the reactiveValuesToList() function.
