Control number formatting in Shiny's implementation of DataTable

Question

Aim

Render large numbers as with thousands separators in a shiny DataTable by default.

Problem

The documentation reads (to me) like it should alr

Answer 1

Try formatting the df you pass to renderDatatable() with thousands formatting

df$x <- format(df$x, big.mark=',', scientific=FALSE) 

Or

df$x<-prettyNum(df$x, big.mark = ",")
