Hi,
Is there any way by which I can make DataTable in R Shiny editable?

Hi,

D3TableFilter is a new table widget for shiny which supports many interactive features including editing. Please have a look at


Cheers

Sorry, there is no built-in support yet. Please keep an eye on this
issue: https://github.com/rstudio/DT/issues/28 Or try other packages
like rhandsontable and D3TableFilter, etc.

Regards,
Yihui

D3TableFilter looks very interesting, thanks!

Hi,

I'm not sure if anyone saw my previous post (I think it was around Easter, so that explains it) called "Data size from R to shiny app", where you can find a link to a video capture where I show my own version of an editable data table:

http://goo.gl/fHG4w5

The only question is: how much data can it be fed with?
Of course, I can always make it work in chunks (like DataTable) and I probably will if no other solution pops up, but I just wondered if shiny has a limitation on how much data can transfer from R to an app.

Best,
Adrian

Thank you all for your response!
Unfortunately I could not try any of the options as I got busy in some other more important feature. I will give it a try once I am back on this task.

Manali

(For when you'll have time) One of the best data entry widgets around is here:

It is an implementation of handsontable.js with htmlwidgets (htmlwidgets is used only for output bindings).

It is excel compatible (you can cut and paste into it).

Hello, just to make sure at the moment there is no way of turning a data.table with DT in a shiny App editable, right?

Thank you

I don't think there's currently a way with DT, no.

Hello again,

can anyone tell me how to get the index of the selected columns of rhandsontable? I'm still pretty new on this. Thank you!

I think you'll have better luck with that question if you reach out to the author directly. His email is on his GitHub profile:
