An htmlwidgets implementation of Handsontable.js. Per the website:

Handsontable is a minimalist Excel-like data grid editor for HTML & JavaScript

This library was inspired by the shinyTable package. Most of the original functionality was preserved, and the htmlwidgets framework made it possible to leverage even more of the Handsontable.js functionality.

See the vignette for detailed examples and links to shiny apps.

To install from CRAN use

install.packages("rhandsontable")

For the latest development version use

devtools::install_github("jrowen/rhandsontable")

^NEW Test out the experimental RStudio Addin, which was inspired by the Subset Addin from rstudio/addinexamples. It's only currently available in the development version. Please file an issue if you run into problems or have suggestions.

A simple example

library(rhandsontable)

DF = data.frame(int = 1:10,
                numeric = rnorm(10),
                logical = TRUE,
                character = LETTERS[1:10],
                fact = factor(letters[1:10]),
                date = seq(from = Sys.Date(), by = "days", length.out = 10),
                stringsAsFactors = FALSE)

# add a sparkline chart
DF$chart = sapply(1:10, function(x) jsonlite::toJSON(list(values=rnorm(10))))
                                                    
rhandsontable(DF, rowHeaders = NULL) %>%
  hot_col("chart", renderer = htmlwidgets::JS("renderSparkline"))
