Table output with the JavaScript library DataTables
Makes a reactive version of the given function that returns a data frame (or matrix), which will be rendered with the DataTables library. Paging, searching, filtering, and sorting can be done on the R side using Shiny as the server infrastructure.
renderDataTable(
expr,
options = NULL,
searchDelay = 500,
callback = "function(oTable) {}",
escape = TRUE,
env = parent.frame(),
quoted = FALSE,
outputArgs = list()
)expr |
An expression that returns a data frame or a matrix. |
options |
A list of initialization options to be passed to DataTables, or a function to return such a list. |
searchDelay |
The delay for searching, in milliseconds (to avoid too frequent search requests). |
callback |
A JavaScript function to be applied to the DataTable object. This is useful for DataTables plug-ins, which often require the DataTable instance to be available (https://datatables.net/extensions/). |
escape |
Whether to escape HTML entities in the table: |
env |
The environment in which to evaluate |
quoted |
Is |
outputArgs |
A list of arguments to be passed through to the implicit
call to |
For the options argument, the character elements that have the class
"AsIs" (usually returned from base::I()) will be evaluated in
JavaScript. This is useful when the type of the option value is not supported
in JSON, e.g., a JavaScript function, which can be obtained by evaluating a
character string. Note this only applies to the root-level elements of the
options list, and the I() notation does not work for lower-level
elements in the list.
This function only provides the server-side version of DataTables
(using R to process the data object on the server side). There is a
separate package DT (https://github.com/rstudio/DT) that allows
you to create both server-side and client-side DataTables, and supports
additional DataTables features. Consider using DT::renderDataTable()
and DT::dataTableOutput() (see
https://rstudio.github.io/DT/shiny.html for more information).
## Only run this example in interactive R sessions
if (interactive()) {
# pass a callback function to DataTables using I()
shinyApp(
ui = fluidPage(
fluidRow(
column(12,
dataTableOutput('table')
)
)
),
server = function(input, output) {
output$table <- renderDataTable(iris,
options = list(
pageLength = 5,
initComplete = I("function(settings, json) {alert('Done.');}")
)
)
}
)
