Update a reactable instance

updateReactable() updates a reactable instance within a Shiny application.

updateReactable(
  outputId,
  data = NULL,
  selected = NULL,
  expanded = NULL,
  page = NULL,
  session = NULL
)

Arguments

outputId

The Shiny output ID of the reactable instance.

data

Table data. A data frame or matrix.

data should have the same columns as the original table data. When updating data, the selected rows, expanded rows, and current page will reset unless explicitly specified. All other state will persist, including sorting, filtering, and grouping state.

selected

Selected rows. Either a numeric vector of row indices, or NA to deselect all rows.

expanded

Expanded rows. Either TRUE to expand all rows, or FALSE to collapse all rows.

page

The current page. A single, positive integer.

session

The Shiny session object. Defaults to the current Shiny session.

Value

None
