IDEAFilter {IDEAFilter}

IDEA data filter module server function

Description

Serves as a wrapper for shiny_data_filter and utilizes moduleSever() for a more modern implementation of the data item filter.

Usage

IDEAFilter(
  id,
  data,
  ...,
  col_subset = NULL,
  preselection = NULL,
  verbose = FALSE
)

Arguments

id

a module id name

data

a data.frame or reactive expression returning a data.frame to use as the input to the filter module

...

placeholder for inclusion of additional parameters in future development

col_subset

a vector containing the list of allowable columns to filter on

preselection

a list that can be used to pre-populate the filter

verbose

a logical value indicating whether or not to print log statements out to the console

Value

a reactive expression which returns the filtered data wrapped in an additional class, "shinyDataFilter_df". This structure also contains a "code" field which represents the code needed to generate the filtered data.

Examples

if(all(c(interactive(), require("dplyr"), require("IDEAFilter")))) {
library(shiny)
library(IDEAFilter)
library(dplyr)  # for data pre-processing and example data

# prep a new data.frame with more diverse data types

  mutate_if(~is.numeric(.) && all(Filter(Negate(is.na), .) %% 1 == 0), as.integer) %>%
  mutate_if(~is.character(.) && length(unique(.)) <= 25, as.factor) %>%
  mutate(is_droid = species == "Droid") %>%
  select(name, gender, height, mass, hair_color, eye_color, vehicles, is_droid)

# create some labels to showcase column select input
attr(starwars2$name, "label")     <- "name of character"
attr(starwars2$gender, "label")   <- "gender of character"

attr(starwars2$mass, "label")     <- "mass of character in kilograms"
attr(starwars2$is_droid, "label") <- "whether character is a droid"
