闪亮的HTML元素和DT :: renderDataTable输出

Question

My webpage is done in HTML and connected to Shiny via simple output$ matching IDs of HTML Elements.

To represent table data on the webpage the code below works fine:

server.R

output$InfoTable <- renderTable({...})

index.html

<div id="InfoTable " class="shiny-html-output"></div>

Now my question...

How does this work for DataTable?

output$InfoDataTable <- DT::renderDataTable({...})

index.html

<div id="InfoDataTable" class="???"></div>

How does the div look like? I found datatables, which did not work.

Thanks for your help!

Answer 1

Run the app from the console and inspect in browser. This is what came up for me with a datatable with default attributes:

class="datatables html-widget html-widget-output shiny-bound-output"

Answer 2

You need to add the script:

' <script src="datatables-binding-0.5/datatables.js"></script> '

and the div class for the renderDataTable is datatables html-widget html-widget-output
