Compile one or several R Markdown reports

compile_reports(
  reports = NULL,
  factory = ".",
  ignore.case = FALSE,
  params = NULL,
  quiet = TRUE,
  subfolder = NULL,
  timestamp = format(Sys.time(), "%Y-%m-%d_T%H-%M-%S"),
  ...
)

Arguments

reports: Either a regular expression (passed directly to grep()) that matches to the report paths you would like to compile or an integer/logical vector. If reports is an integer or logical vector then a call of compile_reports(factory, reports = idx) is equivalent to compile_reports(factory, list_reports(factory)[idx]).
factory: The path to the report factory or a folder within the desired factory. Defaults to the current directory.
ignore.case: if FALSE (default), the report pattern matching is case sensitive and if TRUE, case is ignored during matching.
params: A named list of parameters to be used for compiling reports, passed to rmarkdown::render() as the params argument. Values specified here will take precedence over default values specified in YAML headers of the reports. Note that the set of parameter is used for all compiled reports.
quiet: A logical indicating if messages from R Markdown compilation should be displayed; TRUE by default.
subfolder: Name of subfolder to store results. Not required but helps distinguish output if mapping over multiple parameters. If provided, "subfolder" will be placed before the timestamp when storing compilation outputs.
timestamp: A character indicating the date-time format to be used for timestamps. Timestamps are used in the folder structure of outputs. If NULL, the format format(Sys.time(), "%Y-%m-%d_T%H-%M-%S") will be used. Note that the timestamp corresponds to the time of the call to compile_reports(), so that multiple reports compiled using a single call to the function will have identical timestamps.
...: further arguments passed to rmarkdown::render()
