Overview

About

Maintained by Madhan Kumar NCRAN page ↗GitHub ↗Website ↗Issues ↗

Provides an interactive viewer for 'data.frame', 'tibble' and 'data.table' objects using 'shiny' https://shiny.posit.co/ and 'DT' https://rstudio.github.io/DT/. It supports complex filtering, column selection, and automatic generation of reproducible 'dplyr' https://dplyr.tidyverse.org/ code for data manipulation. The package is designed for ease of use in data exploration and reporting workflows.

Changes in 1.1.0

🔧 Updates

Added pharmaverse badge in the README file as dataviewR is now a part of the pharmaverse set of packages.
Now, the missing values will be shown as <NA> for character/factor variables and NA for all other datatypes. Also, updated the documentation vignettes for the same.
select() function with all variables will not appear in the generated R code when all variables (columns) of a dataset are selected.
Updated the Generated R code non-editable for the user.
Added writexl package in the DESCRIPTION file.
Added Total columns, Filtered rows, Selected columns counts next to Total rows for easy accessibility to the users.
Increased the number of rows of the dataviewer to 500 from 10.
In the Attribute Info table,
Updated the icons of integer, double and character variables.
Added icons for new datatypes/classes such as factor, logical, time and difftime (duration).

Increased the size of the icons.

🐛 Bug Fixes

Now, the logical values are coming in uppercase in the dataviewer. Earlier, because of the Javascript DT package, it was shown in lowercase.
Added separate Download buttons for CSV and Excel files as the download button from the {DT} package is not working properly.

📝 Documentation

Added writexl::write_xlsx() in the roxygen2 comments dataviewer.R file
Updated the images and videos of the updated UI in the vignettes.
Added "data.table" object in addition to "data.frame" and "tibble" objects.
In the DESCRIPTION file, updated the minimum {shiny} version to 1.11.1 and added "data.table" in the package description.

From NEWS.md in the release

Install

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

install.packages("dataviewR", 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("madhankumarnagaraji/dataviewR")

Development version from madhankumarnagaraji/dataviewR. 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-dataviewr

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-dataviewR

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-dataviewR

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.
