FilterPanelAPI: Class to encapsulate the API of the filter panel of a teal app

Description

An API class for managing filter states in a teal application's filter panel.

Arguments

Methods

Method new()

Initialize a FilterPanelAPI object.

Usage

FilterPanelAPI$new(datasets)

Arguments

datasets

(FilteredData)

Method get_filter_state()

Gets the reactive values from the active FilterState objects of the FilteredData object.

Gets all active filters in the form of a nested list. The output list is a compatible input to set_filter_state.

Usage

FilterPanelAPI$get_filter_state()

Returns

list with named elements corresponding to FilteredDataset objects with active filters.

Method set_filter_state()

Sets active filter states.

Usage

FilterPanelAPI$set_filter_state(filter)

Arguments

filter

(teal_slices)

Returns

NULL, invisibly.

Method remove_filter_state()

Remove one or more FilterState of a FilteredDataset in the FilteredData object.

Usage

FilterPanelAPI$remove_filter_state(filter)

Arguments

filter

(teal_slices) specifying FilterState objects to remove; teal_slices may contain only dataname and varname, other elements are ignored

Returns

NULL, invisibly.

Method clear_filter_states()

Remove all FilterStates of the FilteredData object.

Usage

FilterPanelAPI$clear_filter_states(datanames)

Arguments

datanames

(character) datanames to remove their FilterStates; omit to remove all FilterStates in the FilteredData object

Returns

NULL, invisibly.

Method clone()

The objects of this class are cloneable with this method.

Usage

FilterPanelAPI$clone(deep = FALSE)

Arguments

deep

Whether to make a deep clone.

Details

The purpose of this class is to encapsulate the API of the filter panel in a new class FilterPanelAPI so that it can be passed and used in the server call of any module instead of passing the whole FilteredData object.

This class is supported by methods to set, get, remove filter states in the filter panel API.

Examples

Run this code
library(shiny)

fd <- init_filtered_data(list(iris = iris))
fpa <- FilterPanelAPI$new(fd)

# get the actual filter state --> empty named list
isolate(fpa$get_filter_state())

# set a filter state
set_filter_state(
  fpa,
  teal_slices(
    teal_slice(dataname = "iris", varname = "Species", selected = "setosa", keep_na = TRUE)
  )
)

# get the actual filter state --> named list with filters
isolate(fpa$get_filter_state())

# remove all_filter_states
fpa$clear_filter_states()

# get the actual filter state --> empty named list
isolate(fpa$get_filter_state())
