R Shiny renderDataTable options

datatables, r, shiny

Solution

Shiny has upgraded DataTables from 1.9.x to 1.10.x since shiny 0.10.2, and you can use the options listed at http://datatables.net/reference/option/ if your shiny version is higher than 0.10.2.

Problem

Is there a comprehensive list of option names (and hopefully descriptions) that can be passed to the `options` argument of `renderDataTable()` in Shiny? The option names I've seen used in examples online don't seem to map to the option names on the DataTables options docs (http://datatables.net/reference/option). For example, the `pageLength` options in DataTables is called `iDisplayLength` in Shiny.
