Data

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:

• data_guests
• data_expenses

RSVP feature

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

Run the demo app from RStudio Cloud

• 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")
Sys.setenv(PWD_USER = "bigday")
Sys.setenv(PWD_COUPLE = "onlyforbride")
Sys.setenv(IMG_BACKGROUND = "wedding-background-demo-compressed.jpg")

• Create and store the credentials for Google account - A popup will open, and you will be asked to write your password - This will create a token and will store it in a .secrets folder

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

• Run the demo app
