dataTableOutput

Helper functions for using DT in Shiny

Description

These two functions are like most fooOutput() and renderFoo() functions in the shiny package. The former is used to create a container for table, and the latter is used in the server logic to render the table.

Usage

dataTableOutput(outputId, width = "100%", height = "auto")

DTOutput(outputId, width = "100%", height = "auto")

renderDataTable(
  expr,
  server = TRUE,
  env = parent.frame(),
  quoted = FALSE,
  funcFilter = dataTablesFilter,
  ...
)

renderDT(
  expr,
  server = TRUE,
  env = parent.frame(),
  quoted = FALSE,
  funcFilter = dataTablesFilter,
  ...
)

Arguments

`outputId`	output variable to read the table from
`width`	the width of the table container
`height`	the height of the table container
`expr`	an expression to create a table widget (normally via `datatable()`), or a data object to be passed to `datatable()` to create a table widget
`server`	whether to use server-side processing. If `TRUE`, then the data is kept on the server and the browser requests a page at a time; if `FALSE`, then the entire data frame is sent to the browser at once. Highly recommended for medium to large data frames, which can cause browsers to slow down or crash. Note that if you want to use `renderDataTable` with `shiny::bindCache()`, this must be `FALSE`.
`env`	The environment in which to evaluate `expr`.
`quoted`	Is `expr` a quoted expression (with `quote()`)? This is useful if you want to save an expression in a variable.
`funcFilter`	(for expert use only) passed to the `filter` argument of `dataTableAjax()`
`...`	ignored when `expr` returns a table widget, and passed as additional arguments to `datatable()` when `expr` returns a data object

Examples

if (interactive()) {
  library(shiny)
  library(DT)
  shinyApp(
    ui = fluidPage(fluidRow(column(12, DTOutput('tbl')))),
    server = function(input, output) {
      output$tbl = renderDT(
        iris, options = list(lengthChange = FALSE)
      )
    }
  )
}
