从 R DT 数据表创建独立的 HTML

Question

How can I save a datatable created using the DT package so that it can be copied and used by others who don't have R? Is there a function to convert the datatable variable into texts of HTML that can be exported?

Answer 1

Use htmlwidgets::saveWidget() :

iris %>% DT::datatable()
result <- iris %>% DT::datatable()
htmlwidgets::saveWidget(result, "result.html")

Answer 2

The best way to do this is to generate a html-file using Rmarkdown, to use Rmarkdown with DT, see this thread .

Render the rmd file with render from the rmarkdown package. You can also render directly from Rstudio, but in this case Rstudio creates a new Rsession for rendering and objects you defined will not be available.

Also possibly useful to share your data with people who don't use R:

To export data. tables to html or latex tables there are the functions xtable from the package xtable and the function kable from the knitr package.

To export to csv there are the write.csv , write.table , ... funcitons in the utils package.

To export to xlsx there are various funcitons in the packages xlsx and XLConnect.
