Why would we choose DT instead of reactable?

nanxstats commented 10 months ago

The description here is brief and I'm not sure if there are any conversations behind the scene, but I can probably say two things about it:

DT is a much simpler solution.
The reactable dependency reactR uses a lower version of the JS dependency karma, which has some vulnerabilities that will trigger Dependabot security alerts if you put the output in a GitHub repo (see example). This was patched by Dependabot in react-R/reactR #73 but the PR hasn't been merged since March 2022.
