Create DT::datatable of all current indicators in Fingertips by profile and area

[julianflowers]

A function to create a data table of live indicators - which profile and what geography

`
indicator_List<- function(){
require(tidyverse)

fingertipsR::areatypes_by_indicators %>%
left_join(area_types()) %>%
group_by(IndicatorID) %>%
select(IndicatorID, AreaTypeName) %>%
arrange(IndicatorID) %>%
left_join(indicators()) %>%
select(IndicatorID, IndicatorName, ProfileName, AreaTypeName) %>%
distinct() %>%
DT::datatable(filter = "top", extensions = 'Buttons', options = list(
dom = 'Bfrtip',
buttons = c('copy', 'csv', 'excel', 'pdf', 'print')
)
)
}
`

Thanks for the suggestion. What do you think is the purpose of this function (eg, how do you think the output should be presented?):

• A data.frame object?
• a Shiny gadget (like select_indicators())? So people can point and click to retrieve what they need
• other?

My thought is it should be a data.frame (which would mean we miss off the last few lines of your code).
Agree?

Yes I think you are right a data frame - i think we need something which shows which geography is availalbe for which indicator
I kind of like the fact that you can download data from dt::datatable though
