In maptracker/dynamictable: Create Simple HTML Pages from Tabular R Data Structures

dynamictable - Generate interactive HTML tables from R objects

This package will create an interactive HTML table from R matrices and data.frames. Tables can be sorted and filtered by interacting with column headers. The result is generated as a single HTML file with no external dependencies, to aid in file management and reproducible research. Tables are intentionally non-paginated; For paginated HTML tables, consider the DT package.

The package is designed for simple and rapid use (dynamictable(myObject)), but also supports extensive customization options. See ?dynamictable, or run the "hyperCustomizedTable" demo to see most of the options applied.

Installation instructions

## Install from CRAN
## ... 3-Feb-2017 ... submitting today, will update when available

## //OR// Directly from github.com
## If you do not have devtools, run: install.packages("devtools")
library("devtools")
install_github("maptracker/dynamictable")

Examples

## Quick table generation

dynamictable(mtcars)

## Using the "*" wildcard to apply a setting (here a gradient) to all columns

dynamictable(state.x77, options = list("*"=list(gradient=TRUE)))

## A highly customized view of mtcars to illustrate most options:

demo("hyperCustomizedTable", package="dynamictable", ask=FALSE)

## Stress-test with 1000 rows. The performance is not stellar - tens
## of thoushands of rows are passable in Chrome, but awkward in Firefox.
## For larger datasets a paginated browser (eg DT) is likely more
## appropriate

demo("largeDataSets", package="dynamictable", ask=FALSE)

## Some simple factorized data sets:

dynamictable(texteditorplatforms)
dynamictable(typesystemcomparison)

## Factor-rich table, with min.level set to consolidate uncommon levels:

dynamictable(vampiretraits, min.level=2)
