Programmatically create tab and plot in markdown - r

Question

I'm trying to create a dynamic number of tabs in my rmd with some content inside.
This one doesn't help.
Something like this:
---
title: "1"
output: html_document
---
```{r }
library(highcharter)
library(tidyverse)
iris %>%
dplyr::group_split(Species) %>%
purrr::map(.,~{
# create tabset for each group
..1 %>%
hchart("scatter", hcaes(x = Sepal.Length, y = Sepal.Width))
})
```

Answer 1

You can set results = 'asis' knitr option to generate the tabs in the map function using cat.
Getting Highcharter to work with asis was trickier :
Highchart needs to be called once before the asis chunck, probably to initialize properly, hence the first empty chart.
to print the chart in the asis chunck, the HTML output is sent in character format to cat
Try this:
---
title: "Test tabs"
output: html_document
---
`r knitr::opts_chunk$set(echo = FALSE, warning = FALSE, message = FALSE, cache = F)`
```{r}
library(highcharter)
library(tidyverse)
# This empty chart is necessary to initialize Highcharter in the tabs
highchart(height = 1)
```
```{r, results = 'asis'}
cat('## Tabs panel {.tabset} \n')
invisible(
iris %>%
dplyr::group_split(Species) %>%
purrr::imap(.,~{
# create tabset for each group
cat('### Tab',.y,' \n')
cat('\n')
p <- hchart(.x,"scatter", hcaes(x = Sepal.Length, y = Sepal.Width))
cat(as.character(htmltools::tagList(p)))
})
)
```
Note that while this solution works well, it goes beyond the original use for asis
