editData

Edit a data object using the information from the editor in a DataTable

Description

When editing cells in a DataTable in a Shiny app, we know the row/column indices and values of the cells that were edited. With these information, we can update the data object behind the DataTable accordingly.

Usage

editData(data, info, proxy = NULL, rownames = TRUE, resetPaging = FALSE, ...)

Arguments

`data`	The original data object used in the DataTable.
`info`	The information about the edited cells. It should be obtained from `input$tableId_cell_edit` from Shiny, and is a data frame containing columns `row`, `column`, and `value`.
`proxy, resetPaging, ...`	(Optional) If `proxy` is provided, it must be either a character string of the output ID of the table or a proxy object created from `dataTableProxy()`, and the rest of arguments are passed to `replaceData()` to update the data in a DataTable instance in a Shiny app.
`rownames`	Whether row names are displayed in the table.

Value

The updated data object.

Note

For factor columns, new levels would be automatically added when necessary to avoid NA coercing.
