Getting Started • dtsmartr

dtsmartr is a high-performance, interactive virtualized grid viewer designed to make exploring data in R easy, fast, and reproducible.

Installation

You can install the development version of dtsmartr from GitHub:

# install.packages("devtools")
devtools::install_github("wagh-nikhil/dtsmartr")

Basic Usage

The primary function of the package is dtsmartr(). Simply pass any data.frame to launch the explorer:

library(dtsmartr)

# Explore the classic mtcars dataset
dtsmartr(mtcars)

Custom Layout Densities (v0.4.0)

You can programmatically configure the default header and row density modes using dtsmartr_options():

# Launch in compact/minimal layout view
dtsmartr(
  data = mtcars,
  options = dtsmartr_options(
    header_density = "minimal",
    row_density    = "compact"
  )
)

Lightweight Mode

If you need a clean, lightweight, metadata-free grid viewer for high performance, you can use the newly added dtsmart_lite() or its alias dtsmartr_lite():

# Forces a compact, clean grid view of a dataset
dtsmart_lite(mtcars, title = "Mtcars Lite")

The lightweight mode automatically configures the grid with: * advanced_filter = FALSE (Hides Advanced logical condition rules panel) * allow_export = FALSE (Hides the ‘Query Code’ button entirely) * header_summary = FALSE (Collapses headers to compact mode, hiding micro-histograms and completeness bars)
