renderDataTable() not taking up the whole page height-CodePudding

I'm using flex_dashboard in R and have the following shiny output using renderDataTable but it's not taking up the whole page

The page code is as follows in RMarkdown:

Column {.sidebar data-width=260}
-----------------------------------

```{r q5_input}
inputPanel( *input panel code *)
```

Column
------------------------------------

```{r q5_output}
renderDataTable({
  *output code*
})
```

How can I make the datatable take up the whole page?

CodePudding user response：

Try to put this CSS chunk at the beginning of your Rmd file:

```{css}
.datatables.html-widget.html-widget-static-bound { 
  height: auto !important;
  width: 90vw !important;
}
.dataTables_scrollBody {
  height: unset !important;
}
```

A fully reproducible example:

---
title: "Untitled"
output:
  flexdashboard::flex_dashboard:
    orientation: columns
    vertical_layout: fill
runtime: shiny
---

```{css}
.datatables.html-widget.html-widget-static-bound { 
  height: auto !important;
  width: 90vw !important;
}
.dataTables_scrollBody {
  height: unset !important;
}
```

```{r setup, include=FALSE}
library(flexdashboard)
library(datasets)
library(DT)
```

```{r q5_output}
renderDataTable({
  iris
})
```
