colDef with cell parameter fails to render with reactR 0.6.0 #388
Description
Dear development team,
Thank you for your effort in maintaining one of the best table options for R!
Recently we started a new project and tried to render a table with HTML entities in it - something we've done a fair amount of times. However, when rendering the table, we found out that it simply wouldn't come up. After checking a few things we managed to identify the problem being ReactR 0.6.0 - when running with React 0.5.0 it works.
You can try this example from the reactable documentation:
library(reactable)
data <- MASS::Cars93[1:5, c("Manufacturer", "Model", "Type", "AirBags", "Price")]
reactable(data, columns = list(
Model = colDef(cell = function(value, index) {
# Render as a link
url <- sprintf("https://wikipedia.org/wiki/%s_%s", data[index, "Manufacturer"], value)
htmltools::tags$a(href = url, target = "_blank", as.character(value))
}),
AirBags = colDef(cell = function(value) {
# Render as an X mark or check mark
if (value == "None") "\u274c No" else "\u2714\ufe0f Yes"
}),
Price = colDef(cell = function(value) {
# Render as currency
paste0("$", format(value * 1000, big.mark = ","))
})
))
Judging at the ReactR changelog there might be a couple of breaking changes with how it handles tags.
I couldn't find any recommendation on the version of reactR to use, but perhaps in the meantime it would be good to limit the version to 0.5.0.
Again, thanks for your effort on this library! :)
