Demo

Until we build our own authentication, use the lovely Jenny Bryans:

token <- googlesheets::gs_auth()

Copy the URL you see when editing your Google Doc & use our function GMD to render it as an .Rmd file. For example:

edit_url <- "https://docs.google.com/document/d/1RTCQ67mpZTKe9ddllVNCBom5uC2KMFjktKHb1mjWKOM/edit"
my_doc <- GMD(doc = edit_url, token)
my_doc()

By default, this will add a .Rmd file to your current working directory. If you would like to change this location, you can use the setwd() command.

If you would like it to update continuously

live_update(my_doc)

If you are into pipes

edit_url <- "https://docs.google.com/document/d/1RTCQ67mpZTKe9ddllVNCBom5uC2KMFjktKHb1mjWKOM/edit"
edit_url %>%
 GMD(token) %>%
 render_doc(output_format = "html_document")
