DT Column filters not visible when used with Scroller extension about dt HOT 9 CLOSED

I also ran into the same issue. This bug is still there.

That is a similar issue as #34. I'm aware of it, but it is quite difficult to fix it, unfortunately. Putting the filters at the bottom alleviates the problem a little bit, but the select menu won't work (sliders seem to work). Sorry.

ok. I tried to work around this using FixedHeader extension with overflow-y: scroll.

The filter is being displayed properly, but when scrolling down the rows of the table, the rows are visible at the top.

(After Scrolling down)

Code -

library(shiny)
library(DT)

my_data = data.frame(a = 1:50, b = rep(letters[1:10]))
my_data_dt = datatable(my_data,
                       extensions = c('TableTools','FixedHeader'), 
                       rownames = FALSE,
                       filter = "top")

server = function(input,output){
  output$dt = DT::renderDataTable(expr = my_data_dt)
}

ui <- fluidPage(title = "Data Table Scroller Alternative",
                fluidRow(
                  column(width = 4,
                         DT::dataTableOutput("dt"),
                         style = "height:500px; overflow-y: scroll;"
                  )
                )
)

shinyApp(ui = ui, server = server)

Not sure if this is possible, but if dom options l and f be made fixed/opaque (similar to the table header) while scrolling. This would work.

Vertical scrolling is even trickier than horizontal scrolling. It is not a good idea to wrap the table in a column of overflow-y: scroll. As I said, you may put the filters at the bottom, although it does not solve all the problems.

I don't think I can fix this anywhere soon...

That's fine! Can probably do away with this feature, Thanks!

Yes, it is there, and has been documented as a known issue: https://rstudio.github.io/DT/extensions.html I'm sorry, but this is too complicated and beyond my capabilities.
