dataTableOutput: Helper functions for using DT in Shiny

In DT: A Wrapper of the JavaScript Library 'DataTables'

Helper functions for using DT in Shiny

Description

These two functions are like most fooOutput() and renderFoo() functions in the shiny package. The former is used to create a container for table, and the latter is used in the server logic to render the table.

Usage

dataTableOutput(outputId, width = "100%", height = "auto", fill = TRUE)

DTOutput(outputId, width = "100%", height = "auto", fill = TRUE)

renderDataTable(
  expr,
  server = TRUE,
  env = parent.frame(),
  quoted = FALSE,
  funcFilter = dataTablesFilter,
  future = FALSE,
  ...
)

renderDT(
  expr,
  server = TRUE,
  env = parent.frame(),
  quoted = FALSE,
  funcFilter = dataTablesFilter,
  future = FALSE,
  ...
)

Arguments

outputId	output variable to read the table from
width	the width of the table container
height	the height of the table container
fill	passed to htmlwidgets::shinyWidgetOutput(), see there for explanation (requires htmlwidgets > v1.5.4).
expr	an expression to create a table widget (normally via datatable()), or a data object to be passed to datatable() to create a table widget
server	whether to use server-side processing. If TRUE, then the data is kept on the server and the browser requests a page at a time; if FALSE, then the entire data frame is sent to the browser at once. Highly recommended for medium to large data frames, which can cause browsers to slow down or crash. Note that if you want to use renderDataTable with shiny::bindCache(), this must be FALSE.
env	The parent environment for the reactive expression. By default, this is the calling environment, the same as when defining an ordinary non-reactive expression. If expr is a quosure and quoted is TRUE, then env is ignored.
quoted	If it is TRUE, then the quote()ed value of expr will be used when expr is evaluated. If expr is a quosure and you would like to use its expression as a value for expr, then you must set quoted to TRUE.
funcFilter	(for expert use only) passed to the filter argument of dataTableAjax()
future	whether the server-side filter function should be executed as a future or as a standard synchronous function. If true, the future will be evaluated according to the session's plan.
...	ignored when expr returns a table widget, and passed as additional arguments to datatable() when expr returns a data object

Examples

if (interactive()) {
  library(shiny)
  library(DT)
  shinyApp(
    ui = fluidPage(fluidRow(column(12, DTOutput('tbl')))),
    server = function(input, output) {
      output$tbl = renderDT(
        iris, options = list(lengthChange = FALSE)
      )
    }
  )
}
