• Passing expressions and using sessionuserDatamanager_utils$switch_tab are now defunct

Major changes

Instantiating modules is no longer done by means of an rlang expression but with a function with a single argument. Documentation about this can be found here and here This argument contains a list with:

• unfiltered_dataset: a metaReactive list containing the tables inside the selected dataset before filtering them.

• filtered_dataset: a metaReactive list containing the tables inside the selected dataset after filtering them.

• url_parameters: a reactive list of the parameters passed in the url.

• dataset_name: a reactive string containing the name of the selected dataset.

• module_output: a function that when called returns a list of all the values returned by the different modules indexed by the module_id.

• module_names: a non-reactive named list containing as values the names of the module entries as displayed on the tab and as names the ids of the module entries as used by Shiny.

• utils: a list of convenience functions:

  • switch2: a function that allows switching between tabs programatically

• A set of dispatcher functions that facilitate the access are included. Documentation can be found here.

dv.manager isolates custom CSS styling for loaded modules. This ensures CSS styles are applied where they are intended.
