gen_ref_id: Generate Reference ID

In USAID-OHA-SI/glamr: SI Utilities Package

Generate Reference ID

Description

This function returns a unique reference id that can be used in scripts and cited in associated plots to help find the associated code on GitHub.

Usage

gen_ref_id()

Details

A best practice would be to store the character string output as an object called 'ref_id' in the top matter of your script. If you run 'gophr::get_metadata' after this is stored as an object, it will automatically store this for use in 'metadata$caption'.

Value

8 character string

Examples

## Not run: 
library(glamr)
library(gophr)
library(ggplot2)
library(glue)
#create a reference id to include in a plot
gen_ref_id()
ref_id <- "1e64716c"
get_metadata()
#plot with ref id
ggplot(iris, aes(Sepal.Length, Sepal.Width)) +
  geom_point() +
  labs(caption = glue("Source: Edgar Anderson's Iris Data | Ref id: {ref_id}"))
Or
ggplot(iris, aes(Sepal.Length, Sepal.Width)) +
  geom_point() +
  labs(caption = metadata$caption)
