renderDataTable ID

[wilsonph]

I have a table I would like to create dynamically without having it in the ui. When I use the function renderDataTable I am having trouble setting the id of the table. Is this possible? Adding something like outputArgs = list(outputId = "TestTable") does not seem to be working properly as listed in the documentation.

Hi! Welcome!

It’s going to be difficult for anybody to help without some more information, and ideally a reproducible example of your problem. Shiny issues can be more challenging to debug than regular R code, and creating a good Shiny reproducible example is a bit more involved, but we have a guide that covers both topics:

Shiny debugging and reprex guide

Shiny issues can be challenging to resolve relative to other problems with your code or statistical methods. Shiny apps are often large, complex projects with interacting files. When seeking help from others it is considered polite to: First, do your best to work through RStudio's debugging tools to diagnose your issue on your own. Often those shiny logs and tracebacks are useful to others trying to help out. Second, strive to minimize the effort required to replicate your issue. You can do this with a reproducible example ("reprex"). Shiny Debugging Errors in Shiny code can be difficult to track down. If you don't know where your problem is coming from, you can track it down with some o…

I recommend reading through that and then (assuming you haven’t debugged the problem yourself!) updating your question with as close as you can get to a reproducible example (doesn’t have to be perfect!).
