Crosstalk interaction issue

[mattkerlogue]

The crosstalk package provides some tools to provide client-side data filtering in RMarkdown. However it injects Bootstrap css styling into the page causing issues with the core govdown css style (font sizes, spacing etc).

I discovered via some painful Google searching this fix which strips the Bootstrap identifiers and means that crosstalk doesn't inject the Bootstrap css.

fs_nobootstrap <- crosstalk::filter_select(id = "myselector", 
    label = "select something", sharedData = df, 
    group = ~selection_column)

attr(fs_nobootstrap, "html_dependencies") <- Filter(
  function(dep) {dep$name != "bootstrap"},
  attr(fs_nobootstrap, "html_dependencies")
)

As govdown is intended to help people present analysis and some people may well use it with crosstalk then perhaps this fix is something that can be included in the documentation (e.g. interactions with other packages).

Hi folks- sorry to comment on a closed issue, but wanted to let you know that we have worked to remove the Bootstrap dependency of crosstalk (better late than never 😄 ):
