saw htmlwidget on the todo

[timelyportfolio]

I saw htmlwidget on the todo and I'd love to help. I will spend some time today getting acquainted with this fine piece of work.

Terrific - thanks for your interest and help! The demo code is not available - this project is a complete rewrite, which will hopefully be usable soon. I'm excited about having an R interface and being able to easily plug in data frames.

I haven't come up with an api or thought about the implementation, but I'd imagine it being similar to the DataTable htmlwidget. I'm a bit of an R novice, so any help is greatly appreciated! 🙌

This would be fantastic - happy to try to help as well. Try to taking a look at the very nice port of PivottableJS which made its way into a great htmlwidget you can see here

I see that you are making solid progress. When I try to run on my side, I get this:

The constructor on my side would be new Datacomb({...}) but then I get other errors. Am I missing something obvious before I dive deep into the code?

[cmpolis]

Thanks, things are coming along nicely!

It looks like the first screenshot was coming from things not being built, does $ npm run build complete without error (this step was previously not in the Readme, sorry!)? I will document this better, but for now the best sample of how to init an interface is in /demo/datacomb/demo.js

Also, I have some htmlwidget/R code from a previous version of datacomb that I will try to carry over to this iteration, this week!

Something on my end, so now the demo is working, and it is beautiful. I had run npm run build but I think my setup was confused. I'd love to help implement the htmlwidget. I guess following along on Github will be best.

Oh this would be so so amazing!!

I put in a quick, first pass for this! I have a working knowledge of R, but am somewhat clueless on defining the proper API, docs, etc... so feel free to put in updates! Currently, the API is fairly basic; it just consumes a dataframe and column and label params. Also, let me know if you are able to install and get this up and running through R.

devtools::install_github('cmpolis/datacomb')
library(datacomb)
Datacomb(iris, columns=c('Sepal.Length','Sepal.Width', 'Petal.Length', 'Petal.Width', 'Species'))

I'll start playing with it now. This looks like a great start. I would think eventually a different repo will help avoid confusion, or at a minimum, I think we can use a directory pkg that R will know to use for install.

@cmpolis I toyed with it a bit at https://github.com/timelyportfolio/datacomb/tree/R.

# devtools::install_github('timelyportfolio/datacomb@R', subdir = 'pkg')

library(datacomb)
?Datacomb
Datacomb(mtcars)

Datacomb(iris, rowLabel = "Species")

data(diamonds, package = "ggplot2")
Datacomb(diamonds)

This is going to be awesome!

Guys had to just chime in and say this is every bit as amazing I hoped; holy CRAP

[cmpolis]

@timelyportfolio 👍 terrific - thanks for the updates!!! Can I merge in/do you want to put in a pr?
