Creates a custom high-functionality table paired with a linked downloadFile button. The table has search and highlight functionality, infinite scrolling, sorting by columns and returns a reactive dataset of selected items.

  id,
  downloadtypes = NULL,
  hovertext = NULL,
  contentHeight = "200px",
  singleSelect = FALSE
)

downloadtypes

vector of values for data download types

hovertext

download button tooltip hover text

contentHeight

Details

downloadFile button will be hidden if downloadableTable parameter downloaddatafxn or downloadableTableUI parameter downloadtypes is empty

Table Features

• Consistent styling of the table

• downloadFile module button functionality built-in to the table (it will be shown only if downloadtypes is defined)

• Ability to show different data from the download data

• Table is automatically fit to the window size with infinite y-scrolling
