#' Shiny output for DT2
#'
#' Place a DT2 table in a Shiny UI.
#'
#' @param outputId Output ID (must match the `render_dt2()` call in server).
#' @param width,height CSS dimensions.
#' @return An `htmlwidgets` Shiny output (HTML container) suitable for
#'   inclusion in a Shiny UI definition.
#' @export

#' Shiny render function for DT2
#'
#' Render a DT2 table in a Shiny server function.
#'
#' @param expr Expression returning a [dt2()] widget.
#' @param env,quoted Standard `shinyRenderWidget` arguments.
#' @return A Shiny render function (closure produced by
#'   [htmlwidgets::shinyRenderWidget()]) that emits a DT2 widget.
#' @export

#' Observe DataTables events published by dt2.js
#'
#' Listen for table events (init, draw, order, search, page, select, deselect).
#'
#' @param input Shiny input object.
#' @param id Widget ID.
#' @param handler Function with signature `(event, type, indexes, rowData)`.
#' @return No return value, called for side effects. Sets up a Shiny
#'   observer that calls `handler` whenever the table emits an event.
#' @export

#' Access the current state snapshot of a DT2 table
