formattable (version 0.2.1)

format_table: Format a data frame with formatter functions

Description

This is an table generator that specializes in creating formatted table presented in HTML by default. To generate a formatted table, columns or areas of the input data frame can be transformed by formatter functions.

Usage

format_table(
  x,
  formatters = list(),
  format = c("html", "markdown", "pandoc"),
  align = "r",
  ...,
  digits = getOption("digits"),
  table.attr = "class=\"table table-condensed\""
)

Arguments

x

a data.frame.

formatters

a list of formatter functions or formulas. The existing columns of x will be applied the formatter function in formatters if it exists.

If a formatter is specified by formula, then the formula will be interpreted as a lambda expression with its left-hand side being a symbol and right-hand side being the expression using the symbol to represent the column values. The formula expression will be evaluated in the environment of the formula.

If a formatter is FALSE, then the corresponding column will be hidden.

Area formatter is specified in the form of area(row, col) ~ formatter without specifying the column name.

format

The output format: html, markdown or pandoc?

align

The alignment of columns: a character vector consisting of 'l' (left), 'c' (center), and/or 'r' (right). By default, all columns are right-aligned.

...

additional parameters to be passed to knitr::kable.

digits

The number of significant digits to be used for numeric and complex values.

table.attr

The HTML class of <table> created when format = "html"

Value

a knitr_kable object whose print method generates a string-representation of data formatted by formatter in specific format.

Examples

# NOT RUN {
# mtcars (mpg in red)
format_table(mtcars,
   list(mpg = formatter("span", style = "color:red")))

# mtcars (mpg in red if greater than median)
format_table(mtcars, list(mpg = formatter("span",
   style = function(x) ifelse(x > median(x), "color:red", NA))))

# mtcars (mpg in red if greater than median, using formula)
format_table(mtcars, list(mpg = formatter("span",
   style = x ~ ifelse(x > median(x), "color:red", NA))))

# mtcars (mpg in gradient: the higher, the redder)
format_table(mtcars, list(mpg = formatter("span",
   style = x ~ style(color = rgb(x/max(x), 0, 0)))))

# mtcars (mpg background in gradient: the higher, the redder)
format_table(mtcars, list(mpg = formatter("span",
   style = x ~ style(display = "block",
   "border-radius" = "4px",
   "padding-right" = "4px",
   color = "white",
   "background-color" = rgb(x/max(x), 0, 0)))))

# mtcars (mpg in red if vs == 1 and am == 1)
format_table(mtcars, list(mpg = formatter("span",
    style = ~ style(color = ifelse(vs == 1 & am == 1, "red", NA)))))

# hide columns
format_table(mtcars, list(mpg = FALSE, cyl = FALSE))

# area formatting
format_table(mtcars, list(area(col = vs:carb) ~ formatter("span",
  style = x ~ style(color = ifelse(x > 0, "red", NA)))))
