dtf

Installation

You can install the development version of from GitHub with:

# install.packages("remotes")
remotes::install_github("rappster/dtf")

What?

An interface to customize DT::datatable() in a structured and composable way

Why?

Because I never seem to be able to remember the exact combination of extensions and options and how they interact.

How?

library(dtf)

Bundle AutoFill

Default

See https://rstudio.github.io/DT/extensions.html (setion 1. AutoFill)

With the AutoFill extension, you will see a blue square in the bottom-right corner of a cell when you mouse over the cell. You can drag it to automatically fill the column.

mtcars %>% datatable2(bundle = dt_bundle_autofill())

mtcars %>% datatable2(bundle = "AutoFill")

Custom options

For comparison when calling DT::datatable()

mtcars %>% DT::datatable(
    extensions = "AutoFill", 
    options = list(
        autoFill = TRUE
    )
)

mtcars %>% datatable2(
    bundles = dt_bundle_autofill(columns = c(1, 2, 3))
)

mtcars %>% datatable2(
    bundles = dt_bundle_autofill(columns = c(1, 2, 3), focus = "click")
)

mtcars %>% datatable2(
    bundles = dt_bundle_autofill(
        columns = c("mpg", "disp"), 
        focus = "click",
        .data = mtcars
    )
)

mtcars %>% datatable2(
    bundles = list(
        dt_bundle_autofill(
            .options = list(columns = c(1, 2, 3), focus = "click")
        )
    )
)

For comparison when calling DT::datatable()

mtcars %>% DT::datatable(
    extensions = "AutoFill", 
    options = list(
        autoFill = list(columns = c(1, 2, 3), focus = "click")
    )
)

Shiny module (experimental!)

mod_render_dt_server(
    id = "my_id",
    output_id = "dt",
    data = mtcars
)
