Overview

About

Maintained by Carson SievertCRAN page ↗GitHub ↗Website ↗Issues ↗Declared funder: Posit Software, PBC

Provides building blocks for allowing HTML widgets to communicate with each other, with Shiny or without (i.e. static .html files). Currently supports linked brushing and filtering.

Changes in 1.2.2

Address a new R CMD check NOTE about Rd \link{} targets missing package anchors. (#163)

crosstalk 1.2.1

Bug fixes

Some SharedData reactive accessors (e.g. sd$selection()) were broken when the SharedData instance was created in a Shiny module. (#114)
Closed #87: Fixed an issue where filter_select() was double escaping HTML characters. (#141)

crosstalk 1.2.0

Breaking changes

Removed the Bootstrap HTML dependency attached to filter_select(), filter_checkbox(), and bscols(). This allows {crosstalk} to be used in a non-Bootstrap CSS framework (e.g., {distill}) without de-grading the overall look. If this change happens to break functionality or de-grade the overall appearance of your {crosstalk} site, consider adding bslib::bs_theme_dependencies(bslib::bs_theme(version = 3)) to the UI definition, which will add back the Bootstrap dependency.

Improvements

Upgraded filter_select()'s selectize.js dependency to v0.12.4.

crosstalk 1.1.1

Upgrade to jQuery v3.5.1.

Show all changes in 1.2.2Hide the rest of the changes in 1.2.2

crosstalk 1.1.0.1

SharedData now works even when shiny isn't installed.

crosstalk 1.1.0

shiny and ggplot2 are now Suggested packages instead of Imported packages.
Upgrade to Bootstrap v3.4.1 and jQuery v3.4.1.

crosstalk 1.0.1

selection_factor behavior was no longer correct with ggplot2 2.2.0, which changed its algorithm for stacking order. Added a reverse argument that defaults to detecting ggplot2 version and acting accordingly.

crosstalk 1.0.0

Initial release.

From NEWS.md in the release

Install

R (CRAN)pak (dev)Ubuntu (r2u)Fedora (COPR)openSUSE (OBS)

install.packages("crosstalk", repos = "https://cloud.r-project.org/")

Installs the current CRAN release. Prebuilt binaries on Windows and macOS.

if (!requireNamespace("pak", quietly = TRUE))
  install.packages("pak", repos = "https://cloud.r-project.org/")
pak::pak("rstudio/crosstalk")

Development version from rstudio/crosstalk. Installs pak first if it is not already available.

Release

# enable cranapt (r2u) if it is not already set up, then install
grep -rqs r2u.stat.illinois.edu /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ \
  || curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/eddelbuettel/r2u/master/inst/scripts/add_cranapt_noble.sh | sudo bash
sudo apt install -y r-cran-crosstalk

Fast Ubuntu binaries via r2u (no compilation). The cranapt setup runs once and is skipped when it is already enabled. We list this channel from recorded r2u download activity rather than from a live index of the repository, so treat it as last known rather than guaranteed.

bspm (used by r2u) also needs make: sudo apt install make

# enable the iucar/cran COPR if it is not already present, then install
ls /etc/yum.repos.d/*iucar*cran*.repo >/dev/null 2>&1 \
  || sudo dnf copr enable -y iucar/cran
sudo dnf install -y R-CRAN-crosstalk

RPMs from the iucar/cran COPR, rebuilt from CRAN.

For install.packages() integration in R, also: sudo dnf install R-CoprManager

# add the autoCRAN OBS repo (Tumbleweed) if it is missing, then install
zypper -q lr | grep -qi autoCRAN \
  || sudo zypper addrepo https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/devel:/languages:/R:/autoCRAN/openSUSE_Tumbleweed/devel:languages:R:autoCRAN.repo
sudo zypper install -y R-crosstalk

RPMs auto-built from CRAN on openSUSE OBS (Tumbleweed). We list this channel from recorded autoCRAN download activity rather than from a live index of the repository, so treat it as last known rather than guaranteed.
