formattable with other js/css frameworks

Although formattable uses Boostrap as its CSS/JS framework, we can easily use other CSS/JS frameworks.

raw html

format_table will provide us the HTML.

library(formattable)

format_table(head(mtcars,1))

change class

If the JS/CSS dependencies have already been specified, then we can use the table.attr to control the class required by the framework. For instance, we can change the table to a table-striped.

library(formattable)

format_table(
  head(mtcars,2),
  table.attr = "class='table table-striped'"
)

add dependencies

If we expect the formattable output to be standalone, then using htmltools, we can add dependencies and specify class (if necessary). Here is an example adding hack.css.

library(formattable)
library(htmltools)
library(pipeR)

format_table(
  head(mtcars,10),
  # this isn't necessary for hack.css
  #  since no special class required
  #  but we'll supply "" to table.attr
  #  to override formattable's default
  #  class = "table table-condensed"
  table.attr = "",
  formatters = list(mpg=normalize_bar())
) %>>%
  # use HTML to indicate that it is html
  HTML() %>>%
  tagList() %>>%
  attachDependencies(
    htmlDependency(
      name = "hack.css",
      version = "0.5.0",
      src = c(href="https://npmcdn.com/hack/dist"),
      stylesheet = c("hack.css", "standard.css")
    )
  )
