Sending dataframe to javascript
guillaumechaumet opened this issue · comments
I have questions about how to format a R dataframe to a nested array format compatible with datatables.net or tabulator e.g.:
[
{
"name": "Tiger Nixon",
"position": "System Architect",
"salary": "$320,800",
"start_date": "2011/04/25",
"office": "Edinburgh",
"extn": "5421"
},
...
]
There is in the webr documentation, a 'toD3(' example but this function seems to be not available anymore.
toObject function produces a list with a 'names' array and a 'values' array with nested arrays 0, 1, 2, 3 ... for each column.
Is it possible to have the return of "toD3" function ?
Which version of webR are you using? From webR v0.3.0 you should be able to do something along the lines of:
> const cars = await webR.evalR('mtcars');
> await cars.toD3();
(32) [{…}, {…}, {…}, ...]my bad. It's a npm issue not upgrading webr stuck in 2.2
Thanks for your response
