Users can select a file (csv or sas7bdat) and have it appear on the files tab in the explorer() shiny app.

Shiny htmlwidgets bindings. It would be helpful to add a hello-world app example to the help pages that calls renderExplorer() and explorerOutput() etc. (via Xiao Ni)

Add inputs to the .instructions section of the files tab that allow users to add files to the codebook.

• select either a single file from their computer add it to the Files tab
• select a directory from their computer and automatically add all supported data type (e.g. sas7bdat, rdata, csv) to the Files Tab
• clear all current inputs from the codebook

This applies to the situation where a user provides a LIST of UNNAMED data that has been previously assigned to an object:

d <- list(mtcars, iris)
explorer(data=d)

Tibbles with list-columns will not render well in codebook/explorer. Tibbles that are more or less a DF will work fine.

For this reasons, we accept tibbles, but produce warning if tibble is provided in dataList/env

Alternatively, we could ignore tibbles altogether and require pure DFs.

Convert any missing values to character strings for appropriate parsing in JavaScript

example: explorer(data=mtcars)

I think filtering will be a really useful feature. A few thoughts came to mind for improvement: 1. allowing "OR" between variables 2. use the RStudio "subset dataframe" add-in idea to allow query strings 3. providing a slider bar filter for continuous variables (via Xiao Ni)

Hi there,

Congrats about the package, I find it really useful!

Unfortunately, my R Studio session runs out when I am passing a big dataframe (>800000 observations and 26 variables) to datadigest. Even with smaller dataframes the performance is not very good when I use the filters.

datadigest::codebook(data = df1)

I am working on an R Studio instance on a company server and I should have enough memory both locally (16GB) and my quota on the server. Are the df passed to the RAM memory? Could this have anything to do with tibble format? Or with an older version of JavaScript installed on the server?

Thank you in advance for any help you can provide

code example: explorer(demo=TRUE)

The default setting is addEnv=TRUE. If demo=TRUE, only the demo data will be loaded (as desired). However, if user does not explicitly set addEnv to FALSE, and no data are loaded into the R session, user receives warning about no data being available in R session.

Desired behavior would be that addEnv is forced to FALSE and no warning is displayed.

The warnings seem inconsequential, so have temporarily suppressed them.

If a dataset is passed through both the data= argument and the addEnv=TRUE option, both are shown in files pane. Modify to show only unique data files in this view.

a <- mtcars
b <- iris
c <- airquality

works as expected:

explorer(data=list(a,b, c), addEnv=FALSE)

does not work as expected ("a" and "c" are not loaded):

explorer(addEnv=TRUE)

We believe this is an issue with the package build, as explorer() function works correctly outside of package. This bug also occurs in codebookApp(), where data frames in the R session are auto-loaded into the app.

... and consider whether the new type parameter should be used by default.

At a minimum, add support for .xpt and .rda

I'm not a coder, I'd like to know if it is possible to feed the data from mysql? and is it possible to add more rows and columns to codebook? thanks.

Codebook is cut-off and scrolling is a pain in viewer panel. Can we just show a warning and tell user to launch the app or open in a webpage instead?

Need to figure out what the standard R way to add metadata to data frames, and then show that info in the files tab.

Construct an object suitable for explorer.settings.meta[]

This code loads the demo files even though a files is loaded in the session.

devtools::install_github('RhoInc/codebook',ref="v0.2.0")
library(codebook)
testFile1<-iris
testFile2<-cars
explorerApp() 

After using the shiny UI to load a file from disk, testFile1 and testFile2 appear (along with the loaded file).

When calling explorer(demo=T), show the file descriptions in the web-codebook.

Per @sjlussier - current code does not process dates correctly. Error is thrown if data contains a variable with class of "Date" or "difftime".
