Shiny - renderDataTable not working #5

Closed Chuck-Field closed 7 years ago

Chuck-Field commented 8 years ago

I'm trying to create a table in shiny, using the function "renderDataTable" but I keep getting a json error. I have no problem using the renderTable function, but I can't format the table the way I want to see it. with "renderTable" and would prefer using "renderDataTable". I've read - rendertable uses xtable to create the html table renderDataTable uses external javascript library

Does RCloud have some kind of limitation with an external javascript library that is keeping me from making this "renderDataTable" function from working?

Thanks for looking into this.

Yes, rcloud.shiny does not offer complete Shiny support yet. This is one of the features known not to work yet.

We have added a couple of features into core RCloud that we think provide the basis to improve our compatibility, and we are hoping to release an improved rcloud.shiny in the next release, due this summer. I'll comment here when there's something to test on the develop branch of RCloud.

The features that do currently work can be found in the notebook folder

RCloud Sample Notebooks/Dashboarding/RCloud shiny.html

on http://rcloud.social

Thanks for reporting this, @Chuck-Field! The exact limitations are not currently documented, but you can extrapolate from what's in the Shiny gallery but not in the above folder.

Fixed in rcloud.shiny 0.4 (RCloud 1.7)
