Write Variables YAML for Quarto Projects

Source: R/write_variables.R
write_variables.Rd

Creates or opens a _variables.yml file in a Quarto project for editing. If the file already exists, it is opened directly. If global froggeR settings exist, those are used as the starting point. Otherwise, the template is downloaded from the frogger-templates repository.

Usage

write_variables(path = here::here())

Arguments

path

Character. Path to the project directory. Default is current project root via here.

Value

Invisibly returns the path to the file.

Details

The _variables.yml file stores reusable author metadata that Quarto documents can reference. Available fields:

  • name: Your full name as it appears in publications

  • email: Contact email address

  • orcid: ORCID identifier (e.g., 0000-0001-2345-6789)

  • url: Personal website or profile URL

  • github: GitHub username

  • affiliations: Institution, department, etc.

Use save_variables to persist your project-level metadata to the global config directory for reuse across projects.
