Mastering Shiny ActionButtons: Select and Add Rows in a DT DataTable

When working with Shiny applications, particularly when displaying data in tables, it is common for users to want greater control over their selections. In this guide, we will tackle a specific problem: how to implement ActionButtons that allow users to select all rows currently in view or add the currently viewed rows to their existing selection in a reactive DT DataTable.

The Problem

You're building an interactive Shiny app featuring a DT DataTable that allows users to filter and select rows. However, you have two major requirements:

A button that lets users select all rows currently displayed in the table, while retaining their current page and filtering settings.

A button that lets the user add all currently displayed rows to their previous selections.

These functionalities seem straightforward, but without knowledge of the right functions and state management, they can become quite tricky to implement. Let's break down the solution.

Solution Approach

Here's how to accomplish the above requirements step-by-step, using an example of a dataset containing different types of vehicles.

Step 1: Set Up Your Shiny App Structure
