Potentially add as crosstalk compatible?

[jthomasmock]

reactable is fantastic, and I'm interested in using it with crosstalk for linked brushing. Do you have any plans to add crosstalk capabilities?

I imagine that there are some native JS bindings in reactable that could be passed through.

Just want to give a massive +1 to this request, I've been having some issues with customising the styling of datatables via {DT} and {reactable} is a great alternative, generally I tend to develop non-Shiny interactive docs so {crosstalk} support would be amazing. Thanks.

@glin this might help (partially) solve your "advanced filtering" and "custom filtering methods" cards on your project board.

Thanks for the suggestion! Crosstalk support is now in the development version: https://glin.github.io/reactable/articles/examples.html#cross-widget-interactions. You can use both linked selection and filtering, and incoming selections should filter the table like it does in DT.

This was my first time using Crosstalk, so let me know if you find any unexpected behaviors or bugs. The one issue I know of is that Plotly's persistent shift+click selections aren't actually persistent. I couldn't find a way to do that without relying on undocumented APIs (how DT/leaflet do it), so I'll have to look into that more.

And now I wish I was more aware of Crosstalk earlier 😄. This would've solved some problems I've had in the past, and it indeed solves what I wanted from "advanced filtering", @mattkerlogue. I still might create some custom filter inputs for reactable, but perhaps those inputs could be Crosstalk-compatible so they can be used outside the table. Or maybe reactable just supports putting Crosstalk filters in the filter cells.

Just getting back from Out of Office, but this is awesome to see! Will give it a whirl and hopefully write up another blog-post on reactable + crosstalk soon!
