Feature request: Access to Data Import and DB Connection dialogs from Shiny / Gadget

[vnijs]

Related to: #27

Access to the Data Import dialog, Spark connection dialog, and (future) DB connection dialogs would also be wonderful

[vnijs]

Alternatively, is it possible to access the connections history from a shiny app or gadget run in an Rstudio project?

Based on RStudio IDE Commands found here, one can use these to invoke the Import dialogs, though a file path cannot be specified...

rstudioapi::executeCommand("importDatasetFromCsvUsingBase")
rstudioapi::executeCommand("importDatasetFromCsvUsingReadr")
rstudioapi::executeCommand("importDatasetFromSAS")
rstudioapi::executeCommand("importDatasetFromSAV")
rstudioapi::executeCommand("importDatasetFromStata")
rstudioapi::executeCommand("importDatasetFromXLS")

# these don't appear to do anything
# rstudioapi::executeCommand("importDatasetFromCsv")
# rstudioapi::executeCommand("importDatasetFromFile")
# rstudioapi::executeCommand("importDatasetFromURL")
