Make file name and path with optional label, prefix, or postfix

Description

A helper function to create consistent file names for plots created with ggsave_ext() or data files exported with write_sf_ext().

Usage

make_filename(
  name = NULL,
  label = NULL,
  filetype = NULL,
  filename = NULL,
  path = NULL,
  prefix = NULL,
  postfix = NULL,
  cache = FALSE,
  pad = NULL,
  width = NULL
)

Arguments

name	Name to make file name converted to snake case with janitor::make_clean_names(), e.g. "Residential zoning map" becomes "residential_zoning_map"
label	Label to combine with name converted to snake case with janitor::make_clean_names(). The label is designed to identify the area or other shared characteristics across multiple data files, maps, or plots.
filetype	File type or extension.
filename	File name; if file name is NULL, name and file type are both required.
path	Path to file or data directory.
prefix	File name prefix. "date" adds a date prefix, "time" adds a date/time prefix; defaults to NULL.
postfix	File name postfix; defaults to NULL.
cache	If TRUE, path is set to the overedge cache directory using get_data_dir(); defaults to FALSE.
pad	Single padding character added to digits in string; defaults to "0"
width	Minimum width of padded strings.
