Use template in wflowr_open

[ghost]

Hi,
Thank you for workflowr package.
I use it to help my colleagues to follow their 3 analysis type A, B and C. For each one we can change the input data file and add some plots. Each analysis follows a dedicated template integrate in our functions package.
So to do that I start a wflowr project, install and load our functions package and open several Rmd files using the 3 templates by file > new file > new R Markdown > from Template choosing our template. And We save each new files in analysis directory.
I would like to use wflow_open() with a parameter for the template to use. I think that it will be interesting to create a such parameter in wflow_open().

I see in this issue #83, developed in november 2017, that it corresponds to my need but I don't know how can I use it?

Thank you for your reply and help. Véronique

I use workflowr 1.7.0. with Rstudio 1.4.1106 on MacOS Monterey

Hi @vjamilloux thanks for using workflowr and opening an Issue!

Have you tried using the function draft() from the rmarkdown package? I think it does what you need. You give it the name of the file to create, the name of the template, and the name of the package that contains the template. Then it opens the newly created file to edit.

rmarkdown::draft("analysis/file.Rmd", template = "A.rmd", package = "ourFunctionsPackage")
