Question: How to embed help links in a datatable #41

Closed iainmwallace closed 4 years ago

iainmwallace commented 7 years ago

Hi,

Great package!

I was wondering if you have any examples on how to annotate the columns in a datatable (https://rstudio.github.io/DT/) with help text similar to your input help documentation.

It would be really useful to be able to put a more detailed column definition with a modal or tool tip.

Thanks,

Iain

Hi Iain (great name),

Thanks for the kind words!

I have not had time to look at this in detail, but I did have a quick look at the DT documentation for the datatable() function. There is a colnames argument to customize the header - if you can supply HTML to that argument, then you should be able to embed an icon that links to a modal, tooltip or popover.

Hope this helps!

This starts to get at a solution: https://gist.github.com/ijlyttle/a9a5796b93c6f141d7a6b1e516b4971d

It is nowhere near finished, but maybe can help us shake loose some ideas.

Thanks, that makes clear the approach.

Is there a step I need to do to enable the bootstrap theme? The output doesn't look correct. I have a clean install with this wonderful AMI ( http://www.louisaslett.com/RStudio_AMI/) + the libraries indicated in the gist.

Works when I bundle it up as a shiny app... https://iainmwallace.shinyapps.io/tooltips/

Thanks! Hope you have a great memorial day :)
