How to use it?

Once you have your participants data in a vaild format, eg. data.frame with columns:

  • first for a first name
  • second for a second name
  • role for a role at the event, eg. "speaker"

Here's an example of how should it look:

badges_data <- data.frame(first = c("Jon", "Tyrion"),
                          second = c("Snow", "Lanister"),
                          role = c("organiser", "speaker"))

It is as simple as this:

create_badges(badges_data, output_file_name = "my_conference_badges.pdf")

For more advanced feature just read the docs.
