getReactableState: Get the state of a reactable instance

In reactable: Interactive Data Tables for R

Get the state of a reactable instance

Description

getReactableState() gets the state of a reactable instance within a Shiny application.

Usage

getReactableState(outputId, name = NULL, session = NULL)

Arguments

outputId	The Shiny output ID of the reactable instance.
name	Character vector of state value(s) to get. Values must be one of "page", "pageSize", "pages", sorted, or "selected". If unspecified, all values will be returned.
session	The Shiny session object. Defaults to the current Shiny session.

Value

If name is specified, one of the following values:

• page: the current page

• pageSize: the page size

• pages: the number of pages

• sorted: the sorted columns - a named list of columns with values of "asc" for ascending order or "desc" for descending order, or NULL if no columns are sorted

• selected: the selected rows - a numeric vector of row indices, or NULL if no rows are selected

If name contains more than one value, getReactableState() returns a named list of the specified values.

If name is unspecified, getReactableState() returns a named list containing all values.

If the table has not been rendered yet, getReactableState() returns NULL.

Examples

# Run in an interactive R session
if (interactive()) {

library(shiny)
library(reactable)
library(htmltools)

ui <- fluidPage(
  actionButton("prev_page_btn", "Previous page"),
  actionButton("next_page_btn", "Next page"),
  reactableOutput("table"),
  verbatimTextOutput("table_state"),
  uiOutput("selected_row_details")
)

server <- function(input, output) {
  output$table <- renderReactable({
    reactable(
      MASS::Cars93[, 1:5],
      showPageSizeOptions = TRUE,
      selection = "multiple",
      onClick = "select"
    )
  })

  output$table_state <- renderPrint({
    state <- req(getReactableState("table"))
    print(state)
  })

  observeEvent(input$prev_page_btn, {
    # Change to the previous page
    page <- getReactableState("table", "page")
    if (page > 1) {
      updateReactable("table", page = page - 1)
    }
  })

  observeEvent(input$next_page_btn, {
    # Change to the next page
    state <- getReactableState("table")
    if (state$page < state$pages) {
      updateReactable("table", page = state$page + 1)
    }
  })

  output$selected_row_details <- renderUI({
    selected <- getReactableState("table", "selected")
    req(selected)
    details <- MASS::Cars93[selected, -c(1:5)]
    tagList(
      h2("Selected row details"),
      tags$pre(
        paste(capture.output(print(details, width = 1200)), collapse = "\n")
      )
    )
  })
