I have hundreds of images stored locally which I want to include in my Shiny App table. I start by creating a path to each image as a variable
path = "/Users/author/folder/subfolder/"
df%<>% mutate(Image = paste(path, ID, ".png", sep = ""))
I subsequently process them as advised on Adding an image to a datatable in R
for (i in df$Image) {
df$ProcessedIcon <- knitr::image_uri(i)
}
I then create the Icon variable with the processed information
df%<>% mutate(Icon = paste("<img src=", ProcessedIcon ,"></img>", sep = ""))
my server looks like
server <- function(input, output) {
table2 <- reactive ({
df %>%
select(Icon, Category, SubCategory, Item)
})
output$foodtable <- DT::renderDataTable({
DT::datatable(table2(), escape = FALSE)
})
}
My icons still looks like this
Why are the icons not loading properly?
What am I missing?
