# editData

The ‘editData’ is an RStudio addin for editing a ‘data.frame’ or a ‘tibble’. Many RStudio users want to edit a data.frame. With this ‘editData’ package, you can delete, add or update a ‘data.frame’ without coding. You don’t have to use Microsoft excel or a csv editor any more to edit data. You can get resultant data as a ‘tibble’ or as a ‘data.frame’. You can read a csv file in the disk and save it as a csv format.

## Install package

You can install `editData` package from CRAN.

    install.packages("editData")

You can install the developmental version of `editData` package from github.

    #install.packages("devtools")
    devtools::install_github("cardiomoon/editData")

After install this `editData` package you can see the `editData` addin in RStudio’s addins. (See the second plot).

## Usage: As an RStudio Add-in

This addin can be used to interactively manipulate a `data.frame` or a `tibble`. The intended way to use this is as follows:

1. Highlight a symbol naming a `data.frame` or a `tibble` in your R session, e.g. `mtcars`(1).

2. Execute this addin(arrow), to interactively manipulate it.

3. You can select and unselect a row by clicking a row in dataTable. You can delete the selected row(1), add a new row(2) or edit a row(3).

You can enter data name(4) to edit, upload a CSV or excel or RDS file(5) and download the edited data as a csv(6) or xlsx(7) or RDS (8)file.

4. If you press the edit button you can see this window. You can edit individual cell. You can delete the row or update the data.

5. Alternatively, you can edit a cell by double-click.

6 By default, the `sampleData` included in the `editData` package is selected. The `sex` and `bloodType` column are `factor` variables. A `selectInput` is assigned for a column of class factor.

7. A `dateInput` is assigned for a column of class `date`.

## Usage: As a regular function

You can use the `editData()` function as a regular function, e.g. in a command line.

    require(editData)
    result <- editData(mtcars)

The resultant ‘tibble’ or ‘data.frame’ is assigned to the object `result`.

## Usage: As a shiny module

The `editData` package is made of modularized shiny functions. You can use the modularized `editableDTUI()` and `editableDT()` functions in your shiny app. In this package, I have included three examples in the `inst` folder. You can run these examples with one of the following codes.

    shiny::runApp(system.file('example',package='editData'))
    shiny::runApp(system.file('multipleData',package='editData'))
    shiny::runApp(system.file('multipleFiles',package='editData'))
