**[Quarto](https://quarto.org/) + [{targets}](https://docs.ropensci.org/targets/) + [{renv}](https://rstudio.github.io/renv/) + [{xaringan}](https://github.com/yihui/xaringan) = magic! `r emoji::emoji("magic")`**

## How to build the site
1. Install [RStudio](https://www.rstudio.com/products/rstudio/download/#download) version 2022.07.1 or later since it has a [Quarto](https://quarto.org/) installation embedded in it. Otherwise, download and install [Quarto](https://quarto.org/) separately.
2. Open `nonprofitf22.Rproj` to open an [RStudio Project](https://r4ds.had.co.nz/workflow-projects.html).
3. If it's not installed already, R *should* try to install the [{renv} package](https://rstudio.github.io/renv/) when you open the RStudio Project for the first time. If you don't see a message about package installation, install it yourself by running `install.packages("renv")` in the R console.
4. Run `renv::restore()` in the R console to install all the required packages for this project.
5. Run `targets::tar_make()` in the R console to build everything.
6. `r emoji::emoji("tada")` All done! `r emoji::emoji("tada")` The complete website will be in a folder named `_site/`.
## {targets} pipeline
I use the [{targets} package](https://docs.ropensci.org/targets/) to build this site and all its supporting files. The complete pipeline is defined in [`_targets.R`](_targets.R) and can be run in the R console with:
```{r eval=FALSE}
targets::tar_make()
```
The pipeline does several major tasks:
- **Render xaringan slides to HTML and PDF**: Quarto supports HTML-based slideshows through [reveal.js](https://quarto.org/docs/presentations/revealjs/). However, I created all my slides using [{xaringan}](https://github.com/yihui/xaringan), which is based on [remark.js](https://remarkjs.com/) and doesn't work with Quarto. Since I don't have time to recreate my fancy template in reveal.js right now, I want to keep using {xaringan}.
The pipeline [dynamically generates targets](https://books.ropensci.org/targets/dynamic.html) for all the `.Rmd` files in [`/slides/`](/slides/) and renders them using R Markdown rather than Quarto.
The pipeline then uses [{renderthis}](https://jhelvy.github.io/renderthis/) to convert each set of HTML slides into PDFs.
- **Build Quarto website**: This project is a [Quarto website](https://quarto.org/docs/websites/), which compiles and stitches together all the `.qmd` files in this project based on the settings in [`_quarto.yml`](_quarto.yml). See the [Quarto website documentation](https://quarto.org/docs/websites/) for more details.
- **Upload resulting `_site/` folder to my remote server**: Quarto places the compiled website in a folder named `/_site/`. The pipeline uses `rsync` to upload this folder to my personal remote server. This target will only run if the `UPLOAD_WEBSITES` environment variable is set to `TRUE`, and it will only work if you have an SSH key set up on my personal server, which only I do.
The complete pipeline looks like this:
<small>(This uses [`mermaid.js` syntax](https://mermaid-js.github.io/mermaid/) and should display as a graph on GitHub. You can also view it by pasting the code into <https://mermaid.live>.)</small>
```{r echo=FALSE, results="asis"}
# Make sure there are newlines between the code block boundaries and the output
# from `workflow`, which also needs to be separated by newlines
cat("``` mermaid\n")
cat(workflow_graph, sep = "\n")
cat("\n```")
```
