Creating a R package to build directly your quarto-template

Creating a local R package to build a quarto-template

With this repository, you can make a local R package. After installing the package, you can use the built-in function create_quarto() to create a quarto-file based on your draft.qmd, and it also installs (if not yet exists in the folder) the following quarto extensions:

• jmbuhr/qrcode
• martinomagnifico/simplemenu
• mcanouil/iconify
• quarto-ext/fontawesome
• schochastics/academicons
• sellorm/social-embeds

Building the package

Download or clone the files to your local machine. Open the .Rproj-file and load devtools (install, if not installed yet). Then, use Cmd + Shift + B to build the package. After building, you can leave the project and start on any other path.

Using the package

Just open your project, where you want to build your new quarto-file based on the template. Set the working directory to that path if you are not using R-projects.

library(myquarto)

# using the in-built template
create_quarto(filename = "test")

# using a template outside the package
create_quarto(
  filename = "test",
  draft name = "/path-to-your-draft/draft.qmd"
)

Changing the in-built template

You can see instructions on handling the in-built template/files here.
