If formattable and plotly are used simultaneously the error \"Error in last_plot() : The last plot doesn\'t exist\" is given if the following code is run which is a problem
Found the answer!It is actually using formattable:: but on the style function which seem to be the problem. Below the code that is working when both plotly and formattable are loaded.
library(formattable)
library(plotly)
DF <- data.frame(Ticker=c("", "", "", "IBM", "AAPL", "MSFT"),
Name=c("Dow Jones", "S&P 500", "Technology",
"IBM", "Apple", "Microsoft"),
Value=accounting(c(15988.08, 1880.33, NA,
130.00, 97.05, 50.99)),
Change=percent(c(-0.0239, -0.0216, 0.021,
-0.0219, -0.0248, -0.0399)))
DF
formattable(DF, list(
Name=formatter(
"span",
style = x ~ ifelse(x == "Technology",
formattable::style(font.weight = "bold"), NA)),
Value = color_tile("white", "orange"),
Change = formatter(
"span",
style = x ~ formattable::style(color = ifelse(x < 0 , "red", "green")),
x ~ icontext(ifelse(x < 0, "arrow-down", "arrow-up"), x)))
)
