有没有办法用Shiny更新的DT :: renderDataTable和DT :: dataTableOutput按列搜索？

Question

Shiny seems to have changed the implementation of data tables. What was the reason for this?

Unless I'm missing something, the new default looks like a step backwards. For one thing, they are missing the column-specific search boxes at the bottom of the table. Is there a way to replace that functionality?

Answer 1

It certainly still exists, it just seems to not be the default anymore.

library(shiny)
runApp(shinyApp(
  ui = fluidPage(
    DT::dataTableOutput("table")
  ),
  server = function(input, output, session) {
    output$table <- DT::renderDataTable(cars, filter = "top")
  }
))

I just went to the website docs for datatable at https://rstudio.github.io/DT/ and on the front page they say how to use the filter parameter

Make sure you're using the most up to date version of both shiny and DT (use the GitHub version because a lot of work was done in the past 2 weeks)
