In vadimus202/datatableEZ: A Convenient Wrapper for DT Package

A Friendly Datatable

datatable_EZ() is a wrapper around DT::datatable() with more convenient defaults. Also, most common elements of the options() argument are moved to direct arguments list for this function. This removes to necessity to pass on long options list (which is not well documented in the DT package documentation). It also makes these options available for auto-complete drop-downs in RStudio.

library(datatableEZ)

Original datatable

• Includes row numbers by default
• Less compact
• Options are not well documented

datatable(iris)

Easy Datatable

• By default:
  • More compact
  • No row numbers
  • Search highlights
• Direct access to options through named arguments:
  • DOM elements
  • Column definitions (width, alignment, etc.)
  • Rows sorting
  • Page length

datatable_EZ(
    iris,
    dom="t",
    columnDefs = list(list(width = '50px', targets = c(1, 3))),
    order = list(list(0, 'desc'), list(1, 'asc'))
)

Pagination

• Number of rows per page
• Page length drop-down options

datatable_EZ(iris, pageLength = 3, lengthMenu = c(3,5,10))

Static Version

Disables sorting and searching by the user.

datatable_EZ(iris, ordering = FALSE, dom = "t")

Conditional Databars

A simple way to add conditional formatting databars to one or more columns.

iris %>% 
    datatable_EZ() %>% 
    format_databars(~Sepal.Length + Sepal.Width + Petal.Length)
