The function datatableProxy() creates a proxy object that can be used
to manipulate an existing DataTables instance in a Shiny app, e.g. select
rows/columns, or add rows.
dataTableProxy(outputId, session = shiny::getDefaultReactiveDomain(),
deferUntilFlush = TRUE)selectRows(proxy, selected)
selectColumns(proxy, selected)
selectCells(proxy, selected)
addRow(proxy, data)
clearSearch(proxy)
selectPage(proxy, page)
updateCaption(proxy, caption)
updateSearch(proxy, keywords = list(global = NULL, columns = NULL))
reloadData(proxy, resetPaging = TRUE, clearSelection = c("all", "none",
"row", "column", "cell"))
the id of the table to be manipulated (the same id as the one
you used in dataTableOutput())
the Shiny session object (from the server function of the Shiny app)
whether an action should be carried out right away, or should be held until after the next time all of the outputs are updated
a proxy object returned by dataTableProxy()
an integer vector of row/column indices, or a matrix of two
columns (row and column indices, respectively) for cell indices; you may
use NULL to clear existing selections
a single row of data to be added to the table; it can be a matrix
or data frame of one row, or a vector or list of row data (in the latter
case, please be cautious about the row name: if your table contains row
names, here data must also contain the row name as the first
element)
a number indicating the page to select
a new table caption (see the caption argument of
datatable())
a list of two components: global is the global search
keyword of a single character string (ignored if NULL);
columns is a character vector of the search keywords for all columns
(when the table has one column for the row names, this vector of keywords
should contain one keyword for the row names as well)
whether to reset the paging position
which existing selections to clear: it can be any
combinations of row, column, and cell, or all
for all three, or none to keep current selections (by default, all
selections are cleared after the data is reloaded)
