Datatable: apply different formatStyle to each column

I want to apply formatStyle function to different columns in my table. I can easily apply the same style to all the columns, or to some subset of columns, e.g.

divBySum <- function(x) x/sum(x)

  output$test <- DT::renderDataTable(
    datatable(mutate_each(mtcars, funs(divBySum)),
      options = list(searching = FALSE,
                     paging = FALSE,
                     dom = 't'),
      rownames = FALSE) %>%
      formatStyle(colnames(mtcars),
                  background = styleColorBar(c(0, 1), 'lightgray'),
                  backgroundSize = '98% 88%',
                  backgroundRepeat = 'no-repeat',
                  backgroundPosition = 'center') %>%
      formatPercentage(colnames(mtcars))
  )

However I would like to apply different formatStyle to each of the columns. For example, I would like to define maximal length of bar to styleColorBar(c(0, max(x)), 'lightgray'), where x is a column, or different colors for them.

I would like to do this with some function that takes as input a vector of column names. Is there any nice, clever way to do this?

You could use mapply for this and loop through the columns to add whatever color you want, here's an example:

data <- datatable(mtcars)    

mapply(function(column,color){
        data <<- data %>% formatStyle(column,
                                      background = styleColorBar(c(0, max(mtcars[[column]])), color),
                                      backgroundSize = '98% 88%',
                                      backgroundRepeat = 'no-repeat',
                                      backgroundPosition = 'center')
},colnames(mtcars),rep_len(c("green","red","yellow"),length.out = ncol(mtcars)))
