Extend width of column with renderDataTable in Shiny - html

I having trouble understanding the behavior of renderDataTable function using Shiny.
I am trying to extend the width of one specific column.
When I am not using Shiny, and just trying to visualize the output of the table, I write the below and I get the expected output in the plot (Amazon Title column is extended):
Category <- c("Tools & Home Improvement", "Tools & Home Improvement")
AmazonTitle <- c("0.15,Klein Tools NCVT-2 Non Contact Voltage Tester- Dual Range Pen Voltage Detector for Standard and Low Voltage with 3 m Drop Protection", " ABCDFGEGEEFE")
ASIN_url <- c("<a href='https://www.amazon.com/dp/B004FXJOQO'>https://www.amazon.com/dp/B004FXJOQO</a>", "<a href='https://www.amazon.com/dp/B004FXJOQO'>https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0043XJOQO</a>")
ASIN <- c("B004FXJOQO", "B0043XJOQO")
All_ASIN_Information <- data.frame(Category, AmazonTitle, ASIN_url, ASIN)
DT::datatable(All_ASIN_Information, escape=FALSE,
options = list(
pageLength = 20, autoWidth = TRUE,
columnDefs = list(list( targets = 2, width = '600px'))
)
)
But when I use this exact block inside a DT::renderDataTable function for Shiny, the result is different and the column width is not extended....
See behavior for Shiny with below code:
library(shiny)
library(DT)
ui <- fluidPage(
mainPanel(
DT::dataTableOutput("Table_ASIN")))
server <- function(input, output){
output$Table_ASIN <- DT::renderDataTable(
DT::datatable(All_ASIN_Information, escape=FALSE,
options = list(
pageLength = 20, autoWidth = TRUE,
columnDefs = list(list( targets = 2, width = '600px'))
)))
}
shinyApp(ui, server)
I don't know if this behavior is caused by the hyperlinks created in column 'ASIN_url' but I would really need them anyway.
Any help much appreciated on this !

One option would be to shorten the link like this:
ASIN_url <- c("<a href='https://www.amazon.com/dp/B004FXJOQO'>Link</a>", "<a href='https://www.amazon.com/dp/B004FXJOQO'>Link</a>")
Another would be to add a scroll bar by including scrollX = TRUE in the option list

How can I render HTML content in an R Shiny Popify (ShinyBS) tooltip?

I'm building out a datatable in R Shiny and part of it will include tooltips unique to each cell. I've accomplished that, however, I seem to be unable to insert HTML content into the tooltip itself. In the example below, I'm inserting HTML content into a cell in the datatable, and then aim to insert that same content into a tooltip, but the HTML only renders in the datatable, and not in the tooltip.
I've played around with a few ideas but can't find any that work. I can get the HTML to appear (as text) in the tooltip by removing the HTML function, but then, obviously, it's escaped and is just text. I am able to bold text within the tooltip using tags$b(), however, I am hoping for a solution more similar to my example below as I have more complex HTML content I would like add to the tooltip beyond just text.
Any ideas? Thanks very much!
library(shiny)
library(shinyBS)
library(DT)
ui <- fluidPage(
bsTooltip('tbutton',''),
mainPanel(dataTableOutput('df'))
)
server <- function(input, output) {
df <- data.frame(A = c(1:5), B = c(LETTERS[1:5]))
output$df <- renderDataTable({
cell <- paste0('<svg width="30" height="30">',
'<text x="1%" y="75%" font-weight="bold" font-size="16" >B</text>',
'</svg>')
df[2,2] <- as.character(popify(tags$div(HTML(cell)),
title = 'Tooltip:',
placement = 'left',
content = paste0(tags$div(HTML(cell))),
trigger = c('hover', 'click')))
datatable(df, escape=FALSE)
})
}
shinyApp(ui = ui, server = server)
To attach a popover to a cell, you can use bsPopover if this cell has an id. To set an id to the cells, you can use the datatables option createdCell.
Then the HTML code works in the popover content, but not the SVG (or at least I didn't manage to make it work).
library(shiny)
library(shinyBS)
library(DT)
df <- data.frame(A = 1:5, B = LETTERS[1:5])
css <- "
.red {color: red;}
"
ui <- fluidPage(
tags$head(tags$style(HTML(css))),
mainPanel(
DTOutput('df'),
bsPopover(
id = "id2",
title = "test",
content = '<p class="red">TEST</p>'
)
)
)
server <- function(input, output) {
output$df <- renderDT({
datatable(
df,
options = list(
columnDefs = list(
list(
targets = 2,
createdCell = JS(
"function (td, cellData, rowData, row, col) {",
" $(td).attr('id', 'id' + (row+1));",
"}"
)
)
)
)
)
})
}
shinyApp(ui = ui, server = server)

How to source a locally stored image for embedding into a table cell in R Shiny?

The below code does a terrific job of rendering a web-sourced image in a cell of the rhandsontable. However, I'd like swap that image with a jpg image I have stored on my computer. I've tried modifying the below as.character(img(src = "...")) to reflect the local directory and filename, with no luck.
Any suggestions for a straightforward way to do this?
I searched for solutions, for example, Display locally-stored image in R Shiny, but they look rather involved given what I thought is the simplicity of what I'm trying to do. Certainly accessing your local drive is easier than reaching out to the Web via API.
Here's the painfully simple image I want to upload (shrunken of course):
Code:
library(magrittr)
library(htmlwidgets)
library(rhandsontable)
library(shiny)
DF = data.frame(
Col_1 = c("Row 1"),
Col_Help = c(
as.character(img(
src = "https://images.plot.ly/language-icons/api-home/python-logo.png",
title = "My first help text",
style = "width: 50px;")
)
),
text = c("Row 1 does xxx"),
stringsAsFactors = FALSE
)
ui <- fluidPage(br(),rHandsontableOutput('my_table'))
server <- function(input, output, session) {
output$my_table <- renderRHandsontable({
rhandsontable::rhandsontable(
DF,
allowedTags = "<em><b><strong><a><big><img>"
) %>%
hot_cols(colWidths = c(200, 80)) %>%
hot_col(1:2, renderer = htmlwidgets::JS("safeHtmlRenderer")) %>%
hot_cols(colWidths = ifelse(names(DF) != "text", 100, 0.1))
})
}
shinyApp(ui, server)
Put your file, say question_mark.jpg in the www folder of your shiny app, and then adjust your DF definition as below:
DF = data.frame(
Col_1 = c("Row 1"),
Col_Help = c(
as.character(img(
src = "question_mark.jpg",
title = "My first help text",
style = "width: 50px;")
)
),
text = c("Row 1 does xxx"),
stringsAsFactors = FALSE
)
Output:

Shiny tooltips / spsComps

My question is in regards to
Shiny: Add Popover to Column Name in Datatable, the package spsComps for using tooltips, when I remove the tooltip which is defined in the mainPanel, the tooltip on the datatable column also does not work anymore.
library(shiny)
library(spsComps)
library(DT)
library(dplyr)
# define the question button in a button since we need to uses multiple times
infoBtn <- function(id) {
actionButton(id,
label = "",
icon = icon("question"),
style = "info",
size = "extra-small",
class='btn action-button btn-info btn-xs shiny-bound-input'
)
}
ui <- fluidPage(
titlePanel('Making a Popover Work in DataTable'),
mainPanel(
fluidRow(dataTableOutput('myTable'))
)
)
server <- function(input, output, session) {
output$myTable <- DT::renderDataTable({
# construct the title and convert to text
hp_text <- tags$span(
"hp",
infoBtn('notWorking') %>%
bsPopover(title = "This one does not work",
content = "I'd like to give information about hp: it means horsepower. I want a popover, because my real example has lot's of text.",
placement = "top",
trigger = "hover")
) %>%
as.character()
# use !! and := to inject variable as text
datatable(mtcars %>% rename(!!hp_text:=hp),
rownames=TRUE,
selection='none',
escape=FALSE)
})
}
shinyApp(ui = ui, server = server)
However, when once a tooltip is displayed once in the UI, then it also works for the datatable (from #lz100)
library(shiny)
library(spsComps)
library(DT)
library(dplyr)
# define the question button in a button since we need to uses multiple times
infoBtn <- function(id) {
actionButton(id,
label = "",
icon = icon("question"),
style = "info",
size = "extra-small",
class='btn action-button btn-info btn-xs shiny-bound-input'
)
}
ui <- fluidPage(
titlePanel('Making a Popover Work in DataTable'),
mainPanel(
fluidRow(
#popover button
infoBtn('workingPop') %>%
bsPopover(title = "This Popover Works",
content = "It works very well",
placement = "right",
trigger = "hover"
)
),
fluidRow(dataTableOutput('myTable'))
)
)
server <- function(input, output, session) {
output$myTable <- DT::renderDataTable({
# construct the title and convert to text
hp_text <- tags$span(
"hp",
infoBtn('notWorking') %>%
bsPopover(title = "This one does not work",
content = "I'd like to give information about hp: it means horsepower. I want a popover, because my real example has lot's of text.",
placement = "top",
trigger = "hover")
) %>%
as.character()
# use !! and := to inject variable as text
datatable(mtcars %>% rename(!!hp_text:=hp),
rownames=TRUE,
selection='none',
escape=FALSE)
})
}
shinyApp(ui = ui, server = server)
Is this a bug? Or is there something I am missing?
Change this on your UI:
mainPanel(
fluidRow(dataTableOutput('myTable')),
spsDepend("pop-tip")
)
So here, we add spsDepend("pop-tip"). This means loading the dependent Javascript library when app starts. In therory, -v-, the dependency would be automatically added, users do not need to know this. However, in this case, you are using the renderDataTable function. This package does not know how to handle htmltools::htmlDependency, which is the mechanism how usually developers add JS dependencies for shiny apps.
In your case, if you only use it once in the renderDataTable, we need to manually add the dependency in UI by spsDepend. But like your second case, if it has been used at least once in the UI, the dependency is there, you don't need to worry.
You can see the question mark for the button is not working either. The same problem. renderDataTable does not know how to add the dependency for actionButton. So in general, I wouldn't call it a bug, but a feature DT package doesn't support yet.
For the question mark, even if is not a problem caused by spsComps, but we do have a solution from spsComps, adding the icon library:
mainPanel(
fluidRow(dataTableOutput('myTable')),
spsDepend("pop-tip"),
spsDepend("font-awesome")
)

Cannot get the faded floating ui dialog box; does not show in Shiny

I am trying to fix my width on my R Shiny map. Also, I am not succeeding in making the panel faded. The width and faded panel I want to replicate is here at this link:
https://shiny.rstudio.com/gallery/superzip-example.html
I am using their style css file, this link: https://github.com/rstudio/shiny-examples/blob/master/063-superzip-example/styles.css
I have written my code:
library(shiny)
library(tidyverse)
library(leaflet.extras)
library(leaflet)
library(RColorBrewer)
library(scales)
library(lattice)
library(dplyr)
fake_data <- read.csv("https://raw.githubusercontent.com/gabrielburcea/stackoverflow_fake_data/master/gather_divided.csv")
# Define UI for application that draws a histogram
ui <- fluidPage(
navbarPage("Covid-19 Symptom Tracker", id = "nav",
tabPanel("Interactive map",
div(class = "outer",
tags$head(
tags$link(rel = "stylesheet", type = "text/css", href = "style.css")
),
leafletOutput("map", width = "100%", height = "96vh"), #height = "99vh"
#Floating panel
absolutePanel(id = "controls", class = "panel panel-default", fixed = TRUE,
draggable = TRUE, top = 60, left = "auto", right = 20, bottom = "auto",
width = 330, height = "auto",
h4("SARS-Covid-19 symptoms"),
selectInput("symptom", "Select symptom", c("Chills",
"Cough", "Diarrhoea",
"Fatigue",
"Headache",
"Loss of smell and taste",
"Muscle ache",
"Nasal congestion",
"Nausea and vomiting",
"Shortness of breath",
"Sore throat",
"Sputum",
"Temperature")
),
tags$div(id="cite",
'Data provided by Your.md'
)
)))
)
)
server <- function(input, output) {
filtered_data <- reactive({
fake_data %>%
dplyr::filter(Symptom %in% input$symptom)
})
output$map <- renderLeaflet({
leaflet() %>%
addTiles(urlTemplate = "//{s}.tiles.mapbox.com/v3/jcheng.map-5ebohr46/{z}/{x}/{y}.png",
attribution = 'Maps by Mapbox') %>%
addMarkers(data = filtered_data(), clusterOptions = markerClusterOptions())
})
}
# Run the application
shinyApp(ui = ui, server = server)
And the css style I am using (just the same as theirs) is here:
https://github.com/gabrielburcea/stackoverflow_fake_data/blob/master/style.css
The panel I have is this which is obviously different than the one in the link I provided:
I get the following output:
when I run your code. I like the floating dialog box which fades. There is some white space along the title, and some more when I zoom out completely. It looks fine to me. Also, I saved the CSS file via Notepad. I don't think that should make any difference if you saved it via RStudio.

Multiple NavBars on Shiny Dashboard-- remove weird spacing

I am using multiple navbars on my shiny dashboard page because I plan to create a conditional filter based on which tab is selected. Can the space between the two nav bars be removed?
Also, can the space reserved for the title be removed? I've seen some similar questions on here but I am pretty bad with CSS, so if someone could show me exactly where I can edit my code, that would be awesome.
Code:
library(shiny)
library(shinydashboard)
library(data.table)
library(dplyr)
ui <- dashboardPage(
dashboardHeader(),
dashboardSidebar(width = 325,
uiOutput("filter")),
dashboardBody(
navbarPage(header="",title=NULL,id="trythis" ,
tabPanel("BigTab1",
navbarPage(title = NULL,id="firstbar",
tabPanel("SubTab1",
dataTableOutput("table1")),
tabPanel("SubTab2"))),
tabPanel("BigTab2",
navbarPage(title=NULL,id="secondbar",
tabPanel("SubTab3",
dataTableOutput("table2")),
tabPanel("SubTab4")))
)
)
)
server <- function(input, output){
output$table1<-renderDataTable({
data<-filter(mtcars,cyl %in% input$test)
data.table(data[,1:2])
},options = list(lengthMenu = c(5, 10, -1), pageLength = 5))
output$table2<-renderDataTable({
data<-filter(mtcars,cyl %in% input$test)
data.table(data[,1:2])
},options = list(lengthMenu = c(5, 10, -1), pageLength = 5))
output$filter<-renderUI({
if(input$trythis=="BigTab1"){
selectInput("test","Test",choices = c("4","6","8"),selected=c("4","6"),multiple = TRUE)
}else{
selectInput("test","Test",choices = c("4","6","8"),multiple = FALSE)
}
})
}
shinyApp(ui = ui, server = server)
I want to remove the red, more worried about the space between the bars than the others, but the title space on the navbar is also pretty bad when you make the window smaller. Thanks in advance for any help!
