Example of parameterized RMarkdown as seen in this video: https://youtu.be/oFKb8WYDLB0

title: "Parameterized RMarkdown"
author: "Bryan Jenks"
date: "8/28/2020"
output: html_document
params:
# data: diamonds # Options: mpg or diamonds
# toggle: FALSE # Options: TRUE or FALSE
# year: 2018
#=======================#
# Render Function: #
#=======================#
year:
label: "Year"
value: 2017
input: slider
min: 2010
max: 2020
step: 1
sep: ""
data:
label: "Data Set:"
value: mpg
input: select
choices: [mpg, diamonds]
file:
label: "Input dataset:"
value: results.csv
input: file
toggle: True

```{r}
# Only overrides if different from front matter otherwise frontmatter is used.
# Needs to be ran from CLI
# rmarkdown::render("param.Rmd", params = list(
# data = "mpg",
# year = 2019,
# toggle = TRUE
# ))
# Ask for params in shiny interface also CLI
# rmarkdown::render("param.Rmd", params = "ask") # alternatively:
# Knit with parameters button in RStudio VERY useful GUI menu when combined with the above YAML
```
```{r echo=FALSE, warning=FALSE}
library(ggplot2)
library(dplyr)
```
# The `r params$data` Data set was chosen in `r params$year`
In the **`r params$data`** data set we can review a lot of important data. Lets make a visualization!
```{r viz, include=params$toggle}
mpg %>%
ggplot() +
aes(x = manufacturer) +
geom_bar(fill = "#0c4c8a") +
theme_minimal()
```
```{r viz2, include=!params$toggle}
diamonds %>%
ggplot() +
aes(x = cut, y = color, fill = clarity) +
geom_tile(size = 1L) +
scale_fill_hue() +
theme_minimal()
```
# Ideas
- Homework & Answer documents with conditional code chunk inclusion
- Data frame of student scores and using params and mappy some map functions from the purrr package look through and generate code to send emails with results to students with blastula package
- Different reports for particular regions/conditions of your data
