The application is based on two datasets stored on Google Drive. They will be updated according to the user’s navigation in the app.

data_guests: contains information about your guests (name, attendance at the vin d’honneur, attendance at the dinner, attendance at the return on Sunday lunch, special diet, etc.).
data_expenses: contains information about the wedding expenses (venue, caterer, groom’s outfit, wedding rings, etc.)

Structure of the datasets can be explored with:

# Install and load {wedding} package
# install.packages("remotes")
remotes::install_github("ThinkR-open/wedding")
library(wedding)

# View data_expenses
data("data_expenses_example")
data_expenses_example

# View data_guests
data("data_guests_example")
data_guests_example

Raw toy datasets can be accessed directly here:

2 types of features are proposed here :

You can create your guest list beforehand. Your spreadsheet is pre-filled. The guests will be asked to select their first name from a drop-down list. This is the default feature for the app.

Or you do not create your guest list beforehand. At the beginning, your spreadsheet is empty. In this case, the guests will be asked to indicate their first name in a free text zone. You will need to go to the spreadsheet regularly to associate guests to a table in your seating plan.

To use the non pre-filled list and the free text zone:

Define an extra environment variable:

Sys.setenv(USE_PREFILLED_DATA_GUEST = "no")

Call your spreadsheet in Google Drive data_guests_not_pre_filled, not data_guests (default). A raw toy dataset can be accessed directly here: data_guests_not_pre_filled

Save the two toy datasets (see above) in your Google Drive storage
Acess the project stored in RStudio Cloud: https://rstudio.cloud/project/2548794
In Git tab, check that you are in the main branch and pull the latest version of the branch
Install {wedding}

remotes::install_github("ThinkR-open/wedding")

Create environment variables mandatory for the app

Sys.setenv(GOOGLE_MAIL = "wedding.r.package@gmail.com") # Replace wedding.r.package@gmail.com by your gmail adress
Sys.setenv(LOGIN_USER = "welcome")

# install.packages(c("gargle", "googledrive"))
options(gargle_oauth_cache = ".secrets")
options(gargle_quiet = FALSE)
googledrive::drive_auth(cache = ".secrets", 
                        email = Sys.getenv("GOOGLE_MAIL"))
