[Feature Request] Date picker as complex user input #11

Closed andresrcs closed 3 years ago

andresrcs commented 3 years ago

Entering dates as text is hard and unreliable, it would be nice to have a calendar that the user can click on to select dates as with shiny::dateInput()

DillonHammill commented 3 years ago

Done! I added support for password custom columns as well. Pass either "date" or "password" as an option in col_options. - V1 & V2 are names of the columns in the template in this case.

data_edit(col_options = list(V1 = "date", V2 = "password")

Please pull down the latest version from GitHub:

devtools::install_github("DillonHammill/DataEditR")

Great! Thanks!.. As a follow-up, I don't know if this request would make sense for other people but I'm in need of using different input types by row, It would be even possible to implement such functionality? My motive is to be able to use the app on a mobile browser where long tables work better than wide ones.

Unfortunately, setting rows types is not supported by rhandsontable. The best you can do is to transpose the data prior to loading the application.

I use it to save new records to a database, I spread a "date" row as a column before appending the new records to the table on the database, that way I only have to enter the date once but I was hoping to use this new date-picker functionality. Thanks for looking into this anyway.
