tabs

Examples

library(jsTreeR)

# copy a folder to a temporary location for the illustration:
tmpDir <- tempdir()
folder <- file.path(tmpDir, "htmlwidgets")
htmlwidgets <- system.file("htmlwidgets", package = "jsTreeR")
R.utils::copyDirectory(htmlwidgets, folder)
# we use a copy because the actions performed in the gadget are
# actually executed on the files system!

# explore and manipulate the folder (drag-and-drop, right-click):
if(interactive()){
  folderGadget(folder)
}

# the 'trash' option allows to restore the elements you delete:
if(interactive()){
  folderGadget(folder, trash = TRUE)
}

# you can open several folders:
folder1 <- file.path(folder, "lib")
folder2 <- file.path(folder, "gadget")
if(interactive()){
  folderGadget(c(folder1, folder2))
}
