dataTableOutput: Helper functions for using DT in Shiny

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

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")

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

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

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

Arguments

outputId	output variable to read the table from
width	the width of the table container
height	the height of the table container
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 environment in which to evaluate expr.
quoted	Is expr a quoted expression (with quote())? This is useful if you want to save an expression in a variable.
funcFilter	(for expert use only) passed to the filter argument of dataTableAjax()
...	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)
      )
    }
  )
}
