How to use dygraphs and DT in slidify?

[jroberayalas]

Hi! I'm trying to use the packages DT and dygraphs into my slidify presentation in R. However, it seems it's not as straightforward as I thought. So far what I get is an output that looks like this:

Is there any extra command I need to add in order to use the htmlwidgets produced by the datatable() and dygraphs() commands?

Thanks!

It's a slidify issue related to html widgets (I asked before with DT rstudio/DT#9 ).
Slidily is so awesome and its integration with htmlwidget would be really "cRantastics"! 😄 .
I forget reporting this issue to @ramnathv.

Let me know if you solve this issue.

Slidify needs to implement some fundamental changes to let htmlwidgets place nicely with it. It is on my list of things to do, but thanks for filing an issue.

Thanks for your answer @ramnathv. Hope these changes come in the future. I'm a big fan of slidify!

Asking something related to this in DT rstudio/DT#40
You can do this:

dynamic_table <- DT::datatable(x)
DT::saveWidget(dynamic_table, 'example.html')
cat('<iframe src="example.html" STYLE="width:100%;height:125%"> </iframe>')

I don't like mixing html code within slidify markdown, but it works. Hope this could be useful.

Hi,
This thread goes back a few years now. Just wondering if you've managed to make any progress on linking htmlwidgets and slidify? Slidify is fantastic, but I would really like to embed dygraphs in my presentations.
