The development-version of highcharter package has the following issue:
highchartOutput DOES NOT automatically resize the width of the plot when hiding the sidebar in shinydashboard. The width of the plot always remains same.
I provide an example here,
# install development-version of highcharter
# devtools::install_github("jbkunst/highcharter")
library(shinydashboard)
library(shiny)
library(highcharter)
library(dplyr)
ui <- dashboardPage(
dashboardHeader(),
dashboardSidebar(),
dashboardBody(
box(
width = 12,
highchartOutput("plot")
)
)
)
server <- function(input, output) {
output$plot <- renderHighchart({
highcharts_demo()
})
}
shinyApp(ui, server)


I have tried
$(document).on("click", ".sidebar-toggle", function() { $(window).trigger("resize"); });
BUT it still does not work for development-version highcharter when I use renderHighchart & highchartOutput functions.
However, I found
-
renderHighchart2 and highchartOutput2 working well for resizing.
-
BUT renderHighchart2 and highchartOutput2 DO NOT support heatmap, I still need to use renderHighchart and highchartOutput to get correlation plot.
ANY suggestions for this resizing problem?
